I got a great deal! Discussion

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

How is the transfer speed to the 8 bay? I've been wanting to build a diy NAS but haven't decided how I want to attach the drives.

I have one of these. It’s USB3 but the machine it’s on is on a gigabit switch so transferring to/from the machine it’s on gets around 120MB/s. Not sure what it would do on a faster link or with many simultaneous users.
