I use a large array of 12 drive plus 2 parity drive. No VM (for now) Usage: Backups and Storage for large video and timelapse project. I use a Soft raid 5 volume on my main station ( a 2009 MacPro). Problem : very slow transfer speed with folder with lot of JPG (every timelapse project). Photo's:

The goal is to build o storage tower independent of my computer.

Is this totally stupid or possible. I have a soft raid licence, I can create a big raid 5 volume.

Thank you 2FA and Bacon soup. Is there is a way to have more fast storage without a thunderbolt interface. I was thinking buying a macmini with 10G erthernet and a thuntherbolt tower? Any other idea?

Hello My studio doing 4k video and very long timelapse (few years on some project). I work in a Mac OS environment and I want to stay with it. I use external (USB 3) and internal storage (Mac Pro 2012 workstation) with raid5. Without our backup I currently have 2 Raid5 volume : 12To internal & 6To external. I want to increase and centralize my storage with a unraid serveur with 10G ethernet connection. I want to re-use a old PC workstation as unraid serveur. Below the configuration of the old workstation : CPU : Intel 3930K 6 Core 3.2GHz CPU CPU cooling : Corsair Hydro Series H80i Power Supply : Corsair HX - 850W Motherboard : Asus Sabertooth X79 Memory : 32GB Corsair Vengeance 4 x 8GB PC Case : Fractal Design Define R4 - Arctic White SSD : OCZ 128Go SSD 2.5" Vertex 4 GPU : I have 3 old GPU that can fit in this PC. GeForce GTX 660 or GeForce GTX 580 or GeForce GTX 970 Storage capability of the motherboard : Intel® X79 chipset 2 x SATA 6Gb/s 4 x SATA 3Gb/s Marvell® PCIe 9128 controller 2 x SATA 6Gb/s My questions : May be this old PC is to much for a unraid serveur, we can use a much power efficient PC? If we use this old PC do I need to add a additional sas raid card? Is it possible to use NVME on PCIE card with this motherboard? Better for caching? If I read the spec of the motherboard correctly I can fit 8 HD inside? Can we have Raid with 2 different SATA controller? Is there a better solution? Thank you very much for all the answer. Sorry for all the mistake english is not my native language.
