Whether to upgrade or not - need advice

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

so I have a HP N40L and bought it second hand 7 years ago. It's worked a treat using it for Windows Home Server. When WHS got discontinued I decided to look around and came across Unraid. And I'm now a big fan.

 

I only use the server for the following:

  • Pihole
  • Storage of movies
  • Storage of backups of my main PC using Veeam endpoint to a backup share
  • Sync of my photos/movies etc from the main PC.
  • So in theory, nothing critical as it's not my primary storage (except for the movies, but I would not cry over those if I lost them).

 

I have a 4TB Parity drive, 2 x 3TB data drives and a 500GB data drive.

 

The N40L seems to be working fine. And nothing I'm doing with it appears impacted.

 

So , I suppose my questions is. Should I be upgrading at some point given its age, or do i just wait for it to die and remove the hard drives and put them in another machine and all will be good ? I'm leaning this way, but am happy to upgrade if recommended. I haven't a lot of experience with unraid (6 months).

 

cheers, AS
