Hello,
I have a QNAP NAS that's been running for a little over 10 years now and have been meaning to upgrade to Truenas/ZFS for a while.
I've been reading some guides and have come up with the following hardware specs:
I'm planning to do a RAIDZ-2 with 6x4TB HDD (I'm only buying 3 new ones cause I already have 2 Hitachi and a WD)
I will be using the machine for backup. But I also have a list of services that I run such as:
- PiHole
- Unifi Controller
- NUT Server
- Plex & Friends
- SynchThing
So, does the specs hold up for what I'm trying to do with the system? Shoud I bump up the RAM to 64GB?
Should I add SSD for virtualization and opt for TrueNAS Scale?
