This would be used to house all my digital media, blu-rays, dvd&#8217;s, documents, music,  and anything i felt was important.  I eventually decided on unRAID.  Traditional NAS&#8217;s usually require duplicate drives for data protection&#8230; so to have 2TB worth of data space would require 2 x 2TB total and they would have to be equal size.  This would be IDEAL as a mirror of the drive, but not that economical.  Unraid requires 1 parity drive (biggest drive&#8230; lets say 10TB &#8211; yes that is the size of my parity drive), and anything smaller, but you can have multiple drives  of anything less than the parity drive.  This is why i chose Unraid. I am using just normal consumer parts for the build&#8230; Basic MB, 14 platter drives &#8211; ranging from 3tb to 10tb, 1 parity (10tb) , 1tb (SSD), 30G usb (unraid is runs from this).   I&#8217;ve install server grade sata multipliers to allow the 16 total drives in 2 4u server cases&#8230;. I do have multiple power supply&#8217;s running also.  All the drives are in cages&#8230;so i can remove them easily and replace if needed.  The cpu in my server is a ryzen 5 3600x.  80gigs dd4 ram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.1.193\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/serverconfig.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>   Unraid dashboard with all the drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.1.193\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/unraiddash1-1024x435.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-89\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The server rack + gpu mining rig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.1.193\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/servergpu.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the projects for the house was to create a big NAS.
