unRaid on Intel NUC - one disk only

Hi,

 

this is just a topic for anyone who's interested in running unraid with just one disk... 

 

My parents needed a solution to store their huge amount of data. Like, just over 300GB... (yes, gigabites, not terabyte). So, i grabbed an semi-old intel nuc i had and put a whooping 500GB of WD blue laptop-drive in it. No parity, no cache, VM disabled. An external USB 3.0 drive will be used as backup with the UD plugin. There are probably cheaper/free options available OS wise but i learned to work with unraid and love it so sssshh.

This 'server' will be used to automatically sync/store smartphone pictures within LAN, store/stream iTunes library and for basic SMB file sharing.

I'm gonna ask to extend the trail key for another month and see how i't goes in real use. My only concern is the drive temp but i'm planning in swapping the HDD for an 1TB SSD anyway. 

 

Thanks for reading.

Aran.
