Hi liked reading your article.
I have currently a ubuntu server with ZFS raidz 2 6 drives wd red 4Tb. The server is aging and I am really thinking if I should build or buy a NAS, As for NAS LOOKING AT DS1019+, So here are its cons in my mind,
1 you cant have a 10G nic card
2 Apps are installed on the pool, so In my current setup I have my docker containers including emby on a ssd for faster load times, with ds1019+ metadata will be stored on the slow disks, I know about nvme cashing but I really dont see that as a solution as files have to be accessed frequently to be cached.
So if you were in my situation would you still go for a NAS or Ubuntu server build and ZFS since I have the skills for it?
Prices in Malta no drives included as I already have them
DS1019+ 770 euro
My Build 650 euro that includes I3 quad-core and 32gb ram.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and giving me your advice
Regards
Chris
