Now, my main question is, are there any solutions I'm unaware of or overlooking? Can SnapRAID fulfill enough functionality that I can use Arch as a NAS and just drop in drives at any time, or is there some free program or OS that can do this? Would I be better served by splitting GPU loads into a separate workstation machine? Any guidance would be appreciated.Ĭouldn’t agree more with these recommendations to buy unRAID. I haven't looked at storage efficiency if there's a difference between the two approaches. is that correct? It seems that unRAID is a bit more flexible of the two, because if I start with 4x8TB, I can add 4TB/2TB/1TB freely. Right now, I've looked into running Arch bare-metal with SnapRAID (although I don't fully understand how SnapRAID works yet), and I've also looked at unRAID and XPEnology, with just running Arch on top of KVM and passing through a GPU.įrom what I can tell, unRAID lets me add drives lesser or equal to one parity drive, and XPEnology lets me add drives greater or equal to all the drives in the SHR array. running out of SATA ports and drive bays in my desktop tower, though. I used to run my home server stuff (Subsonic, Samba, Calibre, VNC, etc.) on Arch Linux since 2012, JBOD style. (This eliminates FreeNAS as an option.)Ģ) $0.00 (Bonus points for open-source or libre solutions, but I'm willing to compromise if none exist.) So, here's what I'm looking for primarily:ġ) Add a drive any time I want, when I can afford it, of any size. I'm not really too jazzed with unRAID's pricing or licensing schema, but I've got a bunch of hardware around which I want to build a storage/VM/media server, and unRAID looks like the closest thing to a good fit.
