Hi peeps, I want to transfer data (TD) from my synology DS to my coming-soon unraid PC. What's the fastest way I can do that? 1. TD over network --> slow 2. TD --> external SSD --> unraid 3. USB to USB cable TD (https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Transfer-Enclosures-Printers-Cameras/dp/B00P0E3954?th=1) 4. Any better ideas? If we can do 3, then that's the fastest, but I think not likely? If 2, is samsung T7 or sandisk extreme pro better option? Thanks.

Maybe? I prefer AMD that's why I am waiting for their next cpu.

@wickedathletes As it's not urgent, I waited for intel 12th alder lake. Now, I am weary about 12900k stability and overheating "issue". Waiting for AMD next release, NVIDIA super. Maybe next year

I guess the easiest method for me is probably 1. Use all my old external hard disks to make a copy of the data, since I need to use them to transfer from Synology > Unraid 2. Or/and backup the data to AWS / GCP For the 2nd copy of data, we need to have some backup / rsync script to ensure both copies are always sync right. In general, what's the best method that is cost-saving and reliable you would recommend? >80% of the 9TB data I have are all movies / tv, won't ever modify them.

My Synology has 4 disks, SHR-2, 10 TB each. I want to transfer all 4 disks to unraid. Was wondering what's the best way to do that without buying any additional disks. The total data is 9 TB, would fit in a single 10 TB disk. I am thinking 1. Remove 1 disk from Synology, shouldn't be a problem for SHR-2. Make it into an unraid data disk. Copy the data from Synology > External hard disk > Unraid data disk 2. Remove 2nd disk from Synology, make it into a unraid parity disk However, the risk in this approach is that now, my Synology has 2 disks (0 backup), my Unraid has 2 disks (1 data, 1 parity building). I think the parity check would take a few days, in this timeframe, both server have 0 backup, if any 1 of the 2 disks failed, I will lose the data. Perhaps I can poweroff Synology with 2 disks, so that the chance of disk dying is lower? Any suggestions?

It has been 4 years. I am facing the same thing now. Here is some background, my Synology has 4 disks, SHR-2, 10 TB each. I want to transfer all 4 disks to unraid.

Hi Guys, currently looking to build a i7-11700k rig. Seeking some advise regarding my components. Here is what I have in mind currently: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QmV7xc OS at time of building: CPU: Intel Core i7-11700K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor Motherboard: MSI Z590-A PRO ATX LGA1200 Motherboard RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 128 GB (4 x 32 GB) DDR4-4000 CL18 Memory Case: NZXT H710i ATX Mid Tower Case Drive Cage(s): Power Supply: Corsair RM (2019) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply SATA Expansion Card(s): Cables: Fans: Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler Parity Drive: Western Digital Red 10 TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive Data Drives: Western Digital Red 10 TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive Cache Drive: Gigabyte AORUS Gen4 7000s 2 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive Total Drive Capacity: 42/44 TB Primary Use: Software development / Gaming / NAS Likes: Dislikes: Add Ons Used: Future Plans: Boot (peak): Idle (avg): Active (avg): Light use (avg): I have 4 Western Digital Red 10 TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive in my Synology NAS, I want to migrate over to Unraid. I have some questions: From my understanding, I should have 2 Cache Drives? In this case, I was wondering if I should get 2 M.2.? I think the motherboard should work. Or should I use 1 M.2. + 1 SSD? Why? I am thinking of RTX 3070, should I get 3060 / 3080 instead? I wonder which would be best value for money and suits my use case Is there any specific components you think I should replace instead? Open to suggestion In terms of VM OS, I will use Linux (best for development), Gaming using Steam Play. Thanks!
