Some drives are older. My 8TBs are 2019 enterprise SAS and are meant to be on all day. They don’t get much workout cuz once full they’re not doing a ton of writing. So they’ll last. Lady year picked up several 16TBs before the price jumped. Thankful I pay attention and jumped on it when I did!

I’ve ripped all ~2.5kDVDs, ~1.2k BD, and ~600 4K BD (plus several dozen 3D) I keep pretty high quality copies, strip multi lang or auto tracks and stick to higher DTS or Dolby, strip subtitles, etc.

Crazily, I keep a 2nd “older” 7700K for playing the DVD and BD content for friends and family, I do the better stuff for me and a couple friends who actually care about quality. Now I need to add JF alongside Plex and Emby just bc.

Heck yeah!! Good to know as I have nearing 100TB of storage 😅. Would be nice to shave that down a little!

Do they plan on moving Unifi OS beyond just network? Because we run Access, Protect, Connect and InnerSpace, too… Would be nice to have a PC setup as a controller for the cost of their Dream Machine Pro Max etc.

ZimaOS was a love/hate relationship for me. I setup a i7-7700K, 32GB DDR4, dualc10Gb SFP+, 24-bay SAS with x2 LSI 9300-16i raid cards… Technically that’s only 12 PCIe lanes (8 for x2 cards and 4 for NVMe’s) but ZimaOS, even after paying for the premium upgrade (< 4 drives supported), couldn’t handle large quantity disks with large capacity… I had 10x 8TB drives and 8x 16TB drives, each in raid5 with a hot spare, and Zima would constantly become unresponsive with <50TB of data.

Idk if it was a power issue (850w PSU), raid card, or the OS, but I found myself struggling to keep it usable. I had attempted the arrs stacks but ran into issues. Idk if it was corrupted eventually, but I went back to my old server shell until I can resolve it and make it stable. Lemme tell you, moving 50TB+ across 2x 1GbE is excruciatingly slow… I was so thrilled to be on 10Gb for the short time 😢
