Hi everyone,
Briefly, I am not a network or computer nerd, however, I understand most of the things and find my way out soon or later in trouble situation with computers.
I installed unRAID basically for 2 reasons;
- to check if its easier to use than QNAP, Windows NAS solutions
- to use gaming PC's hardware for NAS and Media Server so I needed a NAS OS
Feedback until now;
- For a person who is going to use their PC for Plex Media Server, torrents and File Server, use Windows, easiest of all, huge community out there where you will find the solution faster than anything.
- If you need an all in one solution NAS, buy QNAP or Synology, forget about docker, share, container and paths
- I couldn't believe how hard to access the files from outside of my network. There are not enough videos on youtube, 1 or 2 people explaining it, however, it's so complicated when that route doesn't work, wait for a solution...
- Because the community of unRAID is small IMO, hard to find which program is overall best for a specific purpose. In other platforms, Google lists you several results.
- 59$ ???? for what? Because of its a customized platform for NAS on an open source free Linux OS?
For people like me, who is looking for headache-free solutions for plex, torrent, file server activities, this isn't the solution. sorry my humble opinion...
