WOWA

Hi and thanks for your response. I should have explained a little better that it is essentially a training exercise amongst other things. My manager is allowing me the opportunity to build a NAS server and see how everything works as a sort of training exercise so I can be equipped to do these things in the future, hence the whole idea of NAS server behind it. Secondly, the data that I am 'cleaning up' is a massive assortment of data spread over 15+ different drives on the network so it is a lot more complicated than just throwing it on a regular drive and regular PC. It is sensitive data and it is thousands and thousands of different documents, photos and videos, all of which can not be corrupted, lost or damaged in any way.

Hi guys, So I have been tasked with building a NAS storage server for the company I work for and I am really torn between what Raid I should use. I am building the server with the following specs: ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming II SilverStone SST-ST55F-PT - Strider Paltinum Series, 550W 80 Plus Paltinum ATX PC Power Supply AMD Ryzen 7 5700G 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor IronWolf Pro 125 SSD NAS The trouble I am having is if Unraid would be suitable for me. The tricky aspect is that this is not made to be a permanent NAS server, moreso a 'temporary' dump for 2TB's of storage. Once this storage is dumped on the NAS server, we are trying to clean it up and remove any of the unnecessary and pointless data, move it to the cloud and then decommission the NAS server. My question is, would Unraid be suitable for this type of task and how would I go about approaching it? Also, what storage size of SSD's would you recommend for Unraid and this project? I have roughly 2TB of storage data to clean up and was thinking either 3x 1TB IronWolf Pro SSD's or 6x 500GB IronWolf Pro SSD's. Thank you in advance.
