Just having the second box sitting there running unRAID seems a little under-utilised to me, the disks are in standby most of the time (thanks to netflix) – and it just hasnt been getting the workout I think it deserves. Recently I picked up the two HP N36L Microservers, the 8GB one is my primary VMware ESXi 4.1 host and the 2GB server is running unRAID. This has been mainly for storing media, ISO’s & providing a backup target for the various laptops & workstations around the house.
I have been using unRAID for the past few years on various hardware platforms. I have spent countless hours / days / weeks building, breaking & rebuilding my VM Lab (thankfully I have an understanding wife & daughter).Ģx HP Proliant N36L Microservers (Athlon II Neo Dual Core 1.3) (8GB RAM in one box / 2GB in the other).Īdd to this an assortment of older F5’s / dual P3 pizza boxes & other no name kit – and I have a playground full of toys. This is a documentation of my mind numbing, soul destroying search for the best performing configuration with the hardware I have in my lab. No, before we even start, this is not a blog post about the 4 Non Blondes album.
