Hello homelabers
I just picked up a server on the cheap, it's a HPE ProLiant ML10 Gen9 with an E3-1225v5. I also relatively recently put 4x4TB drives in an old shoebox PC that I'd be swapping to this server, plus adding one more drive.
Right now the drives are configured with the windows storage spaces tool, default settings, which I have recently learned isn't the best way to do things. Given that the board supports RSTe, should I be using that or diving deeper into storage spaces and finding a good config for it? Or perhaps even get a hardware raid pcie card? Plus if anyone knows how to protect against bitrot on either of these systems it'd be greatly appreciated, I can't seem to find any info that's not specific to purpose-made NAS machines.
Currently I'm not considering switching to linux or any dedicated NAS as I have some windows-specific stuff running on that machine and quite frankly I don't have the time or willingness to learn a whole new OS right now. Maybe in a couple years' time.
Thank you.
Really? Gaming benchmarks for Ryzen 7000 seem to be pretty much flat across the board, with minimal gains upwards from the 6-core 7600. Which games are you thinking of?
