February 27Feb 27 At the moment I am running Unraid OS Plus on my ASRock Z690 PG Riptide, i5 14400 with 64 GB DDR4 Ram.Runs a few dockers.sabnzbd, some *arrsPlex & tautullifr24feed-piawarepaperless-ngximmich (don't really use it)nextcloud (don't really use it)rustdeskserver-AIOluckybackupand 3 VMsHome Assistant OSWindows XP (old backup from my father in law, he access it every now and then via VNC) - no network in the VMWindows 10 VM with ETS programming (most time offline)StorrageArray3x Toshiba MG10ACA20TE with 20 TB each (25,4 TB used, 14,3 TB free)Pool2x Kingston 2TB nvme (cache mirror) (holding app data and VMs)1x Gigabyte 512 GB nvme (download temp for sabnzbd)Most of the storage is used for "Media" (plex), TimeMachine (Mac Backups) some for personal Backup like Pictures and Files (they are also in OneDrive).I have still got an DELL i7 OptiPlex 7060 microSFF with an i5-8500T, 16 GB Ram on the shelf. I could put in the 512 GB nvme from my current build and a 1 TB SSD 2,5" in the SATA slot for an unraid installation (with no Array) just to hold the Dockers and the 3 VM (whereby 2 of the 3 are more in stand by mode anyways) and would migrate the 3x 20 TB Toshibas and the 2x 2 TB Kingston nvmes to a Unifi UNAS 4 Bay, with all my Network gear I am already on the Unifi Universe.It would out of the box do my storage, my pictures sync from all my mobile Phones, my Time Machine. Running the 3x 20 TB Toshibas in Raid 5 would give me the same space and protections as I do have right now and I could get an other 20 TB in the future to extend it to "about 60 TB useable storage". The UNAS would hold the 2x 2TB Kingston as a read/write cache and network would be connected via 2.5 GBit/s to my Switch, while the "good old" unraid Optiplex would be on the network via 1 Gbit/s.Dockers on the downscaled unraid would only be sabnzbd, some *arrsPlex & tautullifr24feed-piawarepaperless-ngxrustdeskserver-AIOluckybackupWhereby only sabnzbd/*arrs would write to the NAS (SMB share mounted) on completion and Plex would read from the NAS (SMB share mounted).Luckybackup would write the Paperless files and backups of the VM/Dockers to the NAS periodically.The CPU load of the current server (when Plex is used) is less than 20% - videos are mostly direct streams but I also have a Plex Pass which enables hardware transcoding on the iGPU - which also the DELL OptiPlex has.Would that kind of make sense? Would it be lower on power consumption?
