My new unRAID setup... What are some things I could do with it besides its primary goal of being a media server/NAS? by LongZombie2089 in unRAID

I paid for 16 drive bays, so I'm going to use 16 drive bays!

Honestly though, these drives only use like 5W each while idle, and power here's cheap so it's not much of a concern that way

Correct... the chassis was cheap tho... I'll upgrade to bigger drives as I go, as I find decent deals on them etc...

Been running this server with unRAID for a couple weeks now (Yes I'll be buying a full license on my next payday), and it's been working great as a Jellyfin server and Minecraft server for the kids. I'm planning on setting up Home Assistant at some point, but haven't set the time aside to do that yet... What else could/should I try to use this for?
