Hey all,
I'm looking to rebuild my aged hardware and considering a migration from Core to Scale in the process. I'd want to keep my existing mirrored pool of 4x disk and ensure I can get effective hardware acceleration from my Intel iGPU for video transcoding. I'm also happy to stay with Core entirely, but considering Scale for docker ease.
A few questions:
Probable new build:
Much appreciated!

A few questions:
- Should I bother with Scale at all? I've not had luck with hardware acceleration in my existing jails and build, but I haven't tried since Core 11.x
- Should I start with a fresh install of Scale on the new hardware, then import my existing Pool?
- Alternatively, would it be better to install Core on the new build, import my Pool, and then migrate?
- Any issues with my future hardware you might notice?
Code:
TrueNAS Core 13.0 Mobo: Supermicro X10SLL-F (C222) CPU: Xeon E3-1275L v3 Memory: 32GB ECC Disks: Paranoia-fueled mirrors of 2x ST16000NE000 and 2x ST12000NM001G

Code:
Mobo: Supermicro X11SCL-F (C242) CPU: Xeon E3-1275 v5 Kaby Lake or a Xeon E3-1245 v6 if a Coffee Lake is truly needed Memory: 64GB ECC Disks: Migrating my existing 2x ST16000NE000 and 2x ST12000NM001G
Much appreciated!
