what a thoughtful wifey!
All I got from wifey was a huge envelope..... containing new power utility agreement from another company with a "complicated" 25% savings for the warehouse for my signature to be submitted before 1st Jan 2017. LOL!
Btw, this unraid sw, I first learnt it from LinusTechTips, for virtual storage solution, ie. multiple PCs sharing the same virtual stoarge. Have you got it going? Sounds interesting but also too difficult for my newbie level.
i seen it on linus youtube channel years back and gave it a try and it has took over my freeNAS setup
you burn it to a usb plug it into a computer assign the drives to the parity and array
let it format and setup the array
add some shares and thats all
complete server network storage
it has docker apps too like plex that runs my media services for my rokus apple tvs etc..
i was running a Virtual machine windows 10 and mined some zcash with my server cpus
(dual e5-2660 xeon) made some good profit off of those
everything in my house media wise runs off my server
and all of my important data is backed up to it too
it has a simple webui.. a ton of community support..
you cannot go wrong with it
