xtrips Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hello, I have had these 2 NAS machines for years: - 1 old Readynas with 6 HDDs - 1 large PC tower case converted to a Unraid NAS with 9 HDDs I am willing to merge them into one big Unraid NAS with all the HDDs. I was thinking of buying a 15 bay external enclosure for that and I was wondering how to work with that. I mean what runs Unraid? I suppose I need some external small form factor PC or something right? How would it be connected to the external enclosure? What kind of machine this should be to run 24/7/365 ? Thanks Quote Link to comment
