Looking for a slightly bigger file server for big video files

[dstoe]

Hi,

I have not been here for a while....6 years 😁,....but I am now looking into building a big file server for larger video files. During the pandemic we have built a video studio in our company and I need a place to store our productions. As I still have an older unraid setup in the garage, I was thinking, maybe I could ressurect it with new HDDs and SSD cache.

Here is the old setup:

Supermicro MB775 I-3210 X7SBE

2x Supermicro Cont SATA2 AOC-SAT2-MV8 PCI-X

Intel Core 2 Duo E5200

4gb ddr2 800

Corsair TX750W

Norco 4020

 

Would it be worth using the old hardware or at least the case?

 

As the data I produce in a shooting day is in the range between 50GB and 2TB, is unraid quick enough for me, if I want to overnight backup?

 

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Dominik
