I’m coming up on another space limit and I’m taking this time to reevaluate my setup. Current setup:

Plex server: windows 10 pro 12700k 32gb ram 10 gig Nic 500gb gen 4 boot 2TB P3 plus seed drive 2Tb 980 pro seed drive Running plex, arr stack, Qbittorrent, ups software

Storage server: windows server 2019 13100k 16gb ram 10 gig Nic 500gb gen 4 boot 1tb 980 pro cache 4x12 TB refurbished seagate exos driver Running stable bit drivepool/scanner

Offsite backup: Synology ds220+ 3.7TB usable

My 44 TB of usable storage is almost full, I have personal documents/video x3 duplicated and all of my Linux ISO’s have no redundancy. I am adding 2x20tb soon but before I do I want to see if it would be smart to move to Unraid in the process.

I will keep my plex server on windows for now, but I have been learning Unraid during my 2 trials I’ve done. Should I change my NAS to Unraid? Will I still get 10gig with nvme read/write cache?

I will not be getting new hardware for Unraid as I’ll be reusing my current server. Is the best course of migration putting the 2x20 tb drives in my plex server, move data to that then repopulate the drives on Unraid?

Any other advice is appreciated.
