May 23May 23 Here I am, just to throw a Thank You. I'm almost a noob user, needing a NAS at home, capable of putting just a couple of ccommands in the Terminal or following a tutorial on YouTube. I got Unraid only for a reason: no worries about HDD dimensions and combinations, no worries for the PC hardware. I used it as a sort of secondary NAS, then I convinced to keep it as primary. I had an extra old Intel i3 with 8GB DDR3 RAM and an Asus motherboard with 6 SATA.I decided to do a sort of upgrade, with limited budget. I bought an used Ryzen 7 3700X, a cheap chinese motherboard, a cheap M.2 6x SATA controller, and I recovered some DDR4 RAM I had in a drawer...I moved all the HDDs, I moved the USB key with Unraid, I turned on the PC, and BAM! I had my NAS upgraded.This is exactly what I wanted. No mo fear about the HDDs, no more fear about the hardware.Hope it goes this way for a while. And maybe, that we'll get cheaper upgrade for the updates...
