Is there a way to make the internal boot share a RAID0? I am using cache drive for downloads only and it will never have any files on it. So I'd rather have it 1tb of data than being RAID1. So I would like to keep RAID1 for Boot Partition and RAID0 for Data partition, or is it impossible to do?
I've been meaning to post this for a while. I'm 18, originally from Ukraine, and moved to the US in 2022. I got into "servers" embarrassingly early, like age 7 or 9. I was running Minecraft servers for friends. At 14, I got into actual self-hosting, and by 16, I really went down the rabbit hole.
Here's what I'm running now.
Hardware
ASRock B760M-A D4 motherboard, Intel i5-13500T (13th gen, 6 P-cores + 8 E-cores), 48 GB DDR4. GPU is an Intel Arc A380, which I use for Plex transcoding and Tdarr. The whole thing runs on Unraid.
Storage
Array: 6TB Toshiba + 2TB HGST (no parity -- I know, I know. The array only has movies, TV shows, and some downloads on it, so I'm not too worried)
Pool: 1TB Crucial SATA SSD (appdata and Docker), three 500GB WD drives in ZFS for family photos and backups. That stuff I care about.
Boot/Cache: 512GB WD SN810 NVMe (for downloads (using nvme because on sata ssd nzb downloads are bottlenecked by it so have to use something with dram)
Containers
Running about 30+ containers across a few categories:
Services: Nextcloud, DuckDNS, Scrutiny, NginxProxyManager, Cloudflared tunnel, Immich, Notifiarr and obviously arr stack
Media automation: Radarr (1080p + 4K + Anime), Sonarr (1080p + 4K + Anime), Prowlarr, Bazarr, Cleanuparr, tdarr + tdarr_node, seerr, Readarr, Speakarr
Downloads: SABnzbd, qBittorrent (through VPN), yt-dlp via binhex-official-metube
Media servers: Plex (on host network), Jellyfin (stopped for now use it when have issues with plex), Audiobookshelf
Misc: Tautulli, Crafty-4 (Minecraft server), Local SpeedTest
The case situation is... not great. I'm not posting pictures. Saving up for a Jonsbo N5 to make it an actual proper NAS build instead of whatever chaos is happening right now.
Happy to answer questions. Also curious if there are other people who got into this stuff absurdly young.
Hey everyone, looking for some guidance before I pull the trigger on parts. Going back and forth between the JONSBO N-series cases, and could use some real-world input from people who've built in them.
What I'm building:
Home NAS + media server running Unraid. Running an AV1 transcoding on Sparkle Intel Arc A380 ELF. So I have no idea what CPU I should pick to replace that GPU (it's fine with me if I keep the GPU in the build, but how?)
What I need and already have:
I would also like to keep and use an HBA card instead of the backplate that I already have.
I NEED it to be a DDR4-based system because DDR5 is crazy expensive right now, and I already have 48 gigs of DDR4.
What I'm trying to figure out:
Budget-conscious but not stingy. Want something reliable that'll run 24/7 for years.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

I am running an ARR stack with trash guides and anime-quality profiles, and I currently have Nyaa, Tokyo Toshokan, and Anime Tosho. What other indexers should I use? Some of my anime are only available in 480p (Monster, Bleach), but there are versions on other indexers that are 1080p Blu-ray or even remuxes. I use torrent and NZB.
Those are the indexers that I use for anime.
What recommendation can you give me? Because recently I wanted to watch an anime, and my Radarr instance only found Bd tier 7, and then when I used https://releases.moe/, it found Bd tier 2 (on nyaa), but my Radarr did not see it, which disappointed me (the reason I did it is that the ASS subtitles were low quality and https://releases.moe/ found the greatest version)
Is anyone using them? Especially dual CPU, is it working well or not really? I'm trying to get one from eBay, but my concern is a Chinese motherboard, I fear it might be in Chinese so I would not understand anything in bios and the latest update would be really old. What do y'all think about it? Let me know because I am really curious.
