Commodore

Happy unBirthday! I've been an unRAIDer since March 2019 by accident. Was looking for server to replace aging Windows Server 2003. I have been bouncing around with different OS's (UNIX, Linux, OSX, Windows, etc.), computers, off the shelf consumer NAS gigs (Intel, Buffalo, WD, Dell, Netgear, Seagate) for personal and business, for over 25years trying to find the Holy Grail of the computing world. All have shortcomings mostly in support, cost/time of maintenance & importantly inevitable data loss. In comes unRAID, unRAID Community (and Docker, & Docker Community too). BAM! VM's solved the OS nightmares. NAS scalability, high availability, data protection solved! Tested new array configuration (scalability), hot swap & data corruption, cache change/corruption (performance impact). Micro-services - just getting started with NextCloud, Letsencrypt, Nginx, MariaDB, WordPress, etc. Everything has been humming along for almost half a year now without any issues. Feels really good when you know things just work and you know recovery is a simple swapping of SW/HW and the Community has your back.
