Comment on Unraid hardware upgrades (couple quick questions)

The 1070 is probably a waste of power.
IF you’re going the secondhand enterprise gear route, check which drives you can actually use in them. The Dell will likely only take a dozen or so drive models, sometimes locked down to Dell-flashed firmwares. And those can be expensive.

Thanks, I didn’t realize the enterprise DASs could be locked down to certain drive models. That would definitely be a non-starter.

Especially older models from the second hand market can get tricky, as getting supported drives will be harder each year. Also, you cannot simply put 18TB drives in there and expect them to work. Also also, a lot of them require SAS drives.
