Hi everyone,
I am looking to set up Unraid with my old PC components and a couple of 14tb hard drives to start with so i can store and protect my ever growing media. I'm not going to be using any VM's or dockers (i'm new to this i think its the right terminoolgy) and dont need it running 24/7.
Basically i will only be using the NAS occasionaly and it will be off more than it is on, i just want to protect and add to my data, as its took a long time to build up my collection and be able add drives (of any size) when i want without having to set everything up again and it seems like this is really easy to do with Unraid thus ticking all the boxes.
So the million dollar question, is OK to use Unraid like this?
If so, i'd like to power it off with the power button using the link below but its a bit vague when it comes to that in the last paragraph. I'm just unsure if turning it off and on will hurt anything as it seems most of you guys run yours constantly. https://wiki.unraid.net/Powerdown_script
Heres my specs as well if needed; All this is old and collecting dust so threw it all in. Ive also found out i cant enable virtualization with my CPU but don't need GPU passthrough anyway.
Intel i5 3570k
AsRock h77 pro4-m motherboard
64gb Ram
600w EVGA PSU
2x 14tb HDDs
TIA
