[How are you using unRAID Server?]

It'll probably never happen but I have hopes that someday there will be a bit of consolidation going on with other flash based servers out there.  Amahi seems a natural fit, they need a good file protection scheme and I don't think Greyhole has anything on unRaid and unRaids gui has nothing on Amahi's interface.  Hey, a guy can dream.

[How are you using unRAID Server?]

I primarily use my unRaid server as the media server for my Mac Mini HTPC but it certainly serves a lot of other roles.  I think I'm right there with many other people who want a single home server.

 

With that in mind here is what it does today

Storage for mac and windows clients.

Sabnzbd

Transmission

FTP

 

What I would like to get working on it soon but haven't had time for yet.

Sickbeard

CouchPotato

Crashplan

 

Someday hopefully.

Time Machine backups

Plex or XBMC server.

 

At first it may sound like a lot of roles but really they are all variations on a theme

Get my files

Unpack/sort my files

Protect my files

Serve my files
