Hey Frank, just wanted to say thanks for the helpful tips. I did have to setup the Rsync Module in FreenNAS, but it was pretty straightforward. Mounted the FreeNAS server in Unraid as you mentioned and started the copy using tmux. I also changed my disk setting as you recommended and my primary storage from the cache drives to the array as I'm assuming that's the way to "disable" them for the time being. Not quite gigabit speeds as I'm only hitting around 75MB/s, but still not too bad considering I was only getting 25-50MB/s before and it's definitely better than relying on Windows Explorer between servers.

Hi everyone, I just finished setting up my new Unraid server, but I'm having a hard time finding a good step by step tutorial on the easiest and fastest way to migrate around 10TB of data from the FreeNAS server to the new Unraid server. When I use Windows Explorer, naturally this is a painfully slow way to move data at around 25MB/s. Both boxes are connected to the same switch using 1Gb copper. The Windows tower is wireless only unfortunately. Can someone provide a link to some good tutorials on how to get this done faster? I'm running Unraid Version: 6.12.5 and the older server is running FreeNAS-11.2-U2.1.

I don't really think I do. In hindsight, I could've probably configured RAID-Z1 and extended the life of the server another year or two. This is certainly tempting, but the 8TB 870 QVO still retails for $350 and I can get the Seagate X20 for $279 and get more than double the storage. It's definitely something that will likely require some serious consideration in a few years though. My next server after this one will probably be filled with NVMe SSDs. I guess I can pull a couple of old HDDs from storage and tinker a bit with the trial and see if it makes sense. Thanks for the input.

I have an aging FreeNAS server running with the following hardware: SuperMicro X9SCM-F Intel Xeon E3-1230V2 16GB DDR3 1600MHz ECC x4 WD Red 10TB RAID-Z2 LSI 9211-8i I'm out of space and I'm reconsidering if it's worth my time and money to invest in new server hardware and the hassle of setting up TrueNAS Scale considering I'm just using it to stream Plex media. I don't need transcoding as my ATV4K pushes everything through Infuse. I have an older gaming rig that still has everything intact except the GPU. I would likely put it all together in the Fractal Define 7, but I'm open to other suggestions as well. Hardware specs are as follows: ROG Maximus X Hero Intel i7-8700K Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 3000MHz (2 x 8GB) Corsair ax1200i Samsung 1TB 960 EVO NVMe I think this hardware would be more than adequate for my needs running Unraid. The plan is to repurpose the x4 WD Red 10TB HDDs once the data is backed up and potentially add some additional 20TB Exos drives since Unraid allows different capacity drives to be added. At the end of the day, I just want to have something that is relatively easy to configure and set up, provide some redundancy, and while not server grade hardware, at least offer some relative stability without a lot of tinkering. What does everyone think? Any suggestions? Should I make the switch?
