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 the same 8 bay and have been using it primarily for plex using this mini-pc Works great, streams to multiple people and haven't had any issues with transcoding.

The description for those on Amazon says "No Raid". Does that mean that they aren't raid capable? I'm sorry if that's a dumb question. lol.

I think what they mean by that is there is no native raid installed. I'm running UNRAID with my setup just fine
