Hard Drive Update

My main NAS has getting full over the years, and it's now time for an upgrade to happen. Originally the drive structure for the NAS server (Amuro) was a few miss mashes of hard drives I've acquired through the years. The CPU, motherboard, RAM, power supply, and case are recycled from a workplace where they were updating to newer machines in the fleet.

The new configuration going forward would be on a SHR or a RAID5 configuration with 4TB disks. If possible I would like to pickup an Intel i5-7500 or a i7-7700 to get better multi-core performance, which may or may not have an impact on file server performance. The NAS Box would look like this...

The new build will run on Xpenology 7.1, in my earlier deployment for it, I found it to be pretty solid for a file server. I know that I will use the photo sync function for it to gradually move away from iCloud and Google 200GB tier plans. I'm going to reuse the two 4TB drives from the old configuration for more raid space and if they fail then thats life... Though I have thought about doing another quick run to my computer shop to grab another 4TB's and that way I can just dump the files without having to worry about the method of ingesting the data. Current data usage is a little under 5 TB's of data. Most of that is on a singular 4TB drive while the other 4TB drive sits underused, zero data on it.

As earlier stated the new NAS will be running Xpenology for serving files and a backup. The vast majority of power will be used by the second server, Kamille. Kamille will be using another i3-6100, with 32GB of DDR4 Ram, and two 250GB SSDs and 1TB HDD for storage. Kamille will run Jellyfin, Docker, Nginx Proxy Manager, Portainer, Multiple Ghost Blogs, and other containers. I've tried running Jellyfin in a container but due to the network volume limitations of the OS or Docker it didn't fit right with me.

Here's to fun.
