  • I had never used parity on the roughly 65TB of crap until I moved to Unraid and figured… meh why not try it.

    I am a benefactor of people like you passing on old hardware to less experienced people. That’s where I just got this Dell VRTX with 2x m640 Blades and 2x m520 blades and I really don’t know what to do with it. Someone else gave me the r420 and one of the MD1000s and before that I was using an R710 and the other MD1000. The R710 was my original system with a WIndows Storage Space that I didn’t know what I was doing with. Until I migrated everything to Unraid on the 420. Plan was to move back to the R710, but then the Dell VRTX showed up. Lots of options and about time to pass on the R710 and R420 to new homes I think.

    Oh and All my drives came from my local college’s Surplus Store after being decommissioned from there, so far I’ve only lost I think 3 drives in the 10 years I’ve been tinkering with this *arr collection and plex. I stared on an Old Gateway laptop… yes… Gateway!
