So fast you want to go where?

Which OS you using for the build? Got running any dockers?

I’m not sure which section to post this in, but I think it would be relevant to ask it here.
I’m just trying to bounce this off you smart folks here.

Currently I’m running a single PC as my media server/NAS like storage, 24/7 torrent, gaming PC, general work all in one, specs as below:
OS: Windows 11
CPU: i7-11700F
Mobo: B560 steel legend
GPU: Asus TUF RTX 3080
Storage: Two-way mirror storage space – 4x 8TB + 2x 4TB,
Other HDD: 2x 3TB, 2x 2TB, 2x 1TB, 2x 500GB
NVME drive: 500GB + 1TB

I was thinking if I need to separate out the media/torrent part from the gaming/general work side? Any issues running all from a single PC, aside from the higher power consumption, ~130W idle/torrenting.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

I've 6 Synology servers at home. Each running mostly for file storage.

Oldest is the DS-410J and newest is the DS-215J. Most powerful is the DS-1010+. All bought used online. 5 are online 24*7. My average electricity bills is RM 400 monthly with 2 fridges and 2 aircons daily.

Very soon, will offline the DS-410J because 3 of the drives already hit 50000 hours.

Hi guys
I just discovered this tread

I am planning to buy synology previously, but after research I think better if i do DIY style (buy second had used PC and install TrueNas)
And I require good enough processor and at same time energy efficient
What do you think about i3 4160? is it ok?

Planning to use it as my home Plex server & media storage
