Nice. I ran my Plex server directly from my NAS for a while. Pretty decent, but I started letting my siblings stream remotely and it killed performance. So I just built a dedicated server and use the NAS purely for storage now.
I have a gaming rig, would love to upgrade it but parts are outrageous. Better now though that crypto mining has died off.a good GPU was well over a grand just 6 months ago. Still looking at around 700 for one now.
Yea, I looked at a bottom of the barrel card because someone wanted me to play Fallout 76 with them and I said eff that.
Nice. RAID5? Everything I keep reading says I need about a hundred drives, and 4 or 5 redundant backup storage locations, 9 of which should be air gapped at all times.
Raid 6. I’m ok taking a performance hit for media storage for the extra redundancy. Especially cause the drives are 10TB.
Think of how insane this would have sounded just a few years ago. We’re talking about 10 TB of redundant storage for home use. But at least the baby pictures will last. A millennium.
You don’t need redundancy on something you have a physical disc of, and even if you are torrenting those movies... you don’t need redundancy. Just download it again.
I can’t put a price tag on not waiting around for a movie to rip, so I get it. It’s why I don’t want a Plex. But oh well.
How many questions will you answer? If a question is asked on this thread in a year, will you return to answer?
