      Hmm lame (not that 10 is a bad number)

      I dont have an exact product number yet, but googling I'm finding (what looks like the same server) with max 16GB and max 32GB of ram for the G7,

      This would just be generation specific I think? (Sorry more of a dell guy myself)

      Are you ONLY learning on it? I went a little wild with my specs but that was because I'm transcoding video to multiple sites through a plex server. Essentially my own netflix.

        And containers can increase density. 16GB will go further with LXC or Docker than with full VMs. But it's different, too.

              Plex runs SO much better on Linux. I can't even articulate it well enough honestly. Huge.

                Ya depending how this goes I could definately see myself going that route.

                So many wasted resources with windows.

                      Are you able to group harddrives in a non raid format with linux?

                      Like a stablebit drive pool for linux kind of thing?

                      Versus making raid 0

                        I know that you're asking @dafyre but just use ZFS. Software raid on Linux in the modern world has very little overhead.

                          Why would you do this, when you could use MD Raid and have a highly resilient solution?

                            I'll add that to my "look into" pile

                            Thanks!

                                the Who the heck media you could still put onto RAID0 array.

                                  I'd rather lose 1 disk and 2TB versus lose 1 disk and 6TB

                                    You raid 0 for speed

                                      RAID0 would give you a lot of read/write performance while not caring if you lose a drive (as the data is gone anyways)

                                        How many TB do you have that you can't lose?

                                          I don't get this concept...

                                          RAID0 you'd lose it all, no RAID you'd have no "protection" of a drive failing either.

                                          So unless you mean to mirror the drives in a separate mechanism for protection, while not getting any benefit of RAID, you have a backup.
