I've been running Usenet and Plex on a Windows 10 desktop (Windows 8 prior). It's grown to 16TB and it's time to move away from Storage Spaces. I'm planning to move to Unraid and I'm OMW to buy a used server here locally. I know it's VERY last minute to ask advice but I'm hoping someone can offer some insight. BTW, I'm only paying $100 for it which is the reason that I'm being a little hasty. Here is the configuration:
Chenbro (w rails) RM31212B
HDD Bays 3.5 Hot Swap x12
Supermicro Unknown
Intel Xeon 5405 x2
Unknown 32GB
Areca ARC-1280ML (v2 256M cache)
Network Ports Gig x2
Power Supply Unknown x3
HDD 250GB (SATA 7200rpm) x3
I'm not too worried about the HDD's since I'll be adding my own. I want to make sure that the hardware isn't too old or incompatible with Unraid and is able to run Plex with no hiccups. From what I've found in my research, it seems like all of the components are being used in some part by other users in different configurations. I've already got the wall mount racks for it. Any advice?
