My NAS 2.0 (but my first unRAID NAS)

[Fire]

Hi there,

i'm new to unRAID and did my first buid. I'm from Germany btw, so English is not my primary language. My old server was a plain Ubuntu Server NAS with ZFS, but it did not like the drives spinning all the time. So i switched

 

My unRAID license is still on trial, i'll buy it later this month - here are my hardware specs:

 

CPU: Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1225 v5 (8M Cache, 3.30 GHz)

Board: FUJITSU Mainboard D3446-S ATX (C236 Express Chipset)

RAM: 16GB (2x Micron DIMM 8GB, DDR4-2400, CL17-17-17)

Controller: LSI 9211-8i (it's a flashed IBM ServeRAID M1015, PCIe 2.0 x8)

PSU:  be quiet! Straight Power E9-CM 480W ATX 2.4 (80 PLUS Gold certified)

OS: ADATA DashDrive UV131 16GB, USB 3.0

Case: Fractal Design Define XL USB 3.0 black, noise-insulated

 

Parity: 3TB DualParity (3TB (DT01ABA300) + 3TB (HDS5C3030BLE630))

Data: 18TB (3x 3TB (DT01ABA300) + 3x 3TB (HDS5C3030BLE630))

Cache: 300GB RAID1 (1x SSDSA2CW300G3 + 1x SSDSC2BB300G4)

 

SW: unRAID 6.2.1 (Lime Technology)

Docker: Plex Media Server (linuxserver.io)

 

Power: Idle with disk spun-down 40W, Data Load while parity creation 70W, peak idk

Parity Check Duration/Speed:  7 hours, 7 minutes, 15 seconds. Average speed: 117.1 MB/sec

Current ToDos are: UPS for safe shutdown on power loss, enabling standby S3 for more power saving.

 

it's a little bit overpowered for Plex Media Server only at the moment, but maybe i'll use it for more in the future

 

Do you have any recommendations for a small UPS? it sould be enough to shutdown the system, and be 100% compatible with unRAID, and available here in Germany. Second starter question would be: can i keep a copy (second drive) of my unRAID Flashdrive for backup purposes? So if the first fails, i just could swap them and turn on my NAS.

Hello, this is what I use. APC BX1300G

I've tested it and it works well. APC is owned by Schneider Electric which is a French company, so you should be able to get ahold of APC backups.
