Weekly Share-Your-Build Post
This is part of a (semi-)weekly series of Share-Your-Build Post threads for everyone to share their builds, discuss different server solutions, and share knowledge and resources! Please be polite and helpful to beginners just getting started out, and we want to be as welcoming as we can to newcomers to this community.
Common info to share can include:
- Plex server make/model
- CPU and GPU info
- Storage solution info
- Plex add-on info (Radarr, Sonarr, Docker, etc.)
- other configuration info
Anyone who posts good starter guides, FAQs, and/or wikis may get their links added to the sidebar so the rest of the community can benefit!
Cheers!
Just added 5x18TB Seagate Ironwolf NAS (CMR) drives to my build.
it’s a retired desktop/gaming pc
Edit: along with the 5 new drives, switched to a fractal R5 case to accommodate the amount of hard drives
I’ve been having a hard time finding an r5 case (I haven’t looked real hard, but when I have they’ve been out of stock or very expensive)
$125 on Newegg https://www.newegg.com/black-fractal-design-define-r5-atx-micro-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811352048
Oh! I’m mixing this up with the r7 XL for it’s “storage layout”.
Yeah the r7 xl is crazy, and pretty pricey.
A little overkill for my needs at this point in time as well. R5 is midtower and I didn’t feel like going full tower.
I switched from a rack mount to an R5 case and it’s a lot more practical.
Agreed. Rack mount is cool but I don’t have the space for that
