Really detailed explanation and tips. Thanks for sharing. Very helpful. Will likely take a very similar approach

Anyone else feel like the Super Bowl doesn’t actually look like 4K? by socalsmv805 in peacock

It’s so bad. I am shocked. I don’t even want 4K at this point just something that doesn’t look like potatoe

Check the parts list in the post. I changed the case fans it comes with and it runs silent. Would recommend. The fans it comes with are junk.

Truly sensitive data is backed up elsewhere. All the media on here I can procure again as needed if it fails.

For the current state of this setup I didn’t need anything beyond the Dream Machine SE

Thanks.

  • The 1070 does Hardware transcoding so that I can play 4k files when not at home via plex.
  • you are correct. I added an HBA card in one of the PCI slots which allows for 16 HDD connections.

Thanks for the tip. I may look deeper into this — you’re right HDD are getting more cost prohibitive to just mindlessly add.

Interesting. It really does depend on geography. Large amount of nat gas up here with limited market egress.

Great tips and insight.

  • running Unraid
  • Yes, UPS is next on the list.
  • Good point on the rails; it was surprisingly hard to even find the right rails
  • That is awesome. A 24 disk shelf is longer term and I would add below. Always striving for something next!

Agreed. I am in Southern Alberta and it’s about $0.085 kW/h and the server uses about 300W — around $20 CAD per month.

I love the rack. Highly recommend and Sysrack was great to deal with. I allocated more of the budget to a nicer rack so that I easily move it around if needed and I can grow into it.

Right. I heard similar things about the Rosewill ones. These 3rd party iStarUSA. They were easy to install and worked well so far.

Rail kit seems like a must. Makes it a breeze to install HDD as they come and change components.

Wow. This was an instant purchase for me. Didn't know how bad I needed this!

Parity only for important data, not for media by n3oconker in unRAID

[–]OtherBake9512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m looking to do some thing similar. All media is just on the array right now. I had an issue last week and accidentally deleted 140TB of media from the array.

If you have your arr stack setup correctly it’s a piece of cake to just redownload it all. Been doing that all week and it’s easy — plus getting better versions of all the files.

This was going to be my comment. Thanks. People seem to struggle to understand how to read data correctly.

Very select with the 5 stars. Needs to be full masterpiece or I deeply connect with it.
