December 30, 2025Dec 30 I've been out of the hardware game for quite a while. I'm using the Intel S2600CP with Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-2670 0 @ 2.60GHz with 128 GB DDR3 Multi-bit ECC in a 102TB array (mainly WD Red Drives from 10-18TB with 22TB Parity). I'm just curious if it's worth upgrading this setup with newer tech? I use hardware front ends (Nvidia Shield TV Pro) with a wired connection so don't have any real issues streaming (occasional hiccup now and again) and my other uses for my server are limited to a couple of VM's (WIndows 7 and Windows 10). One of the reasons I'm asking is because Windows is telling me I can't upgrade the WIndows 10 VM due to hardware limitations? Perhaps there is another workaround for this?Anyway, back in 2015 or so there was a bunch of us buying up these server MB's for our UnRAID server so I was curious if anyone has upgraded since then and if so to what? Thanks.
