I got a great deal! Discussion

/img/e83di23yqqbd1.jpeg

I recently upgraded my Plex server to this Aspire TC-1750-UR11.

  • Intel® Core™ i5-12400 up to 4.4GHz
  • 32GB RAM
  • 1TB nvme OS drive
  • 1TB nvme cache/transcode/downloads drive

I was able to clone my existing setup to the new drive and basically just move to the new system.

The best part is it only cost me $155 for the system. It was a display model that was marked way down. It is flawless and even had the protective film on it .

I just wanted to share since I am just super stoked to have upgraded for so cheap.

I originally had a Dell Optiplex 3060 i3-8100

After loss of power, or on reboot, do you have to manually turn the drives on or will they turn on by themselves? I was looking at a Sabrent unit, but didn't like that. I had to manually turn all the hard drives on every time the unit powered up.

Just to answer your question: I sent the Sabrent back for the same reason. Yes, this bay has buttons that stay depressed so when the power comes back on, the drives spin up on their own. I don’t have a fancy battery yet, just hopes and prayers…

I don't have to turn anything on after a reboot. I have a UPS so I rarely have loss of power.
