January 5, 20242 yr I have 2 unraid servers and would like to merge them into one; because i'm running out of storage space. 16 TB parity and 2 10 TB storage each. Which one do you recommend? Running HA VM, emby, sonarr, radarr, nzbget, nextcloud. Which is better: more cores or faster CPU Edited January 5, 20242 yr by PaulB tidy up description
January 9, 20242 yr That question really depends on your workload and gen of the hardware. If your work load really likes to multithread out it is possible the higher core count will be a benfit if it is capable of doing more work then the lower core processor. If it isn't because of generational difference then stick with the lower core count. Part of the question is do you have anything that can actually consume a fair amount of cores. I would probably go with the 1620 and see if it can stand the load you want to run on it. If so it will probably be more friendly to your power bill when it isn't busy.
January 11, 20242 yr Something else you may want to consider as well is simply going with a Low Power N305 or similar MB/cpu/mem combination. Not sure what your Memory situation is like, but it wouldn't take much of a new mb and Processor to almost pay for itself when the power bill considered most likely.
