Original Title: I'm tired of rebuilding my storage server every so often when it fails on consumer hardware. Within a ~$3k budget, what is something professional or pro-sumer I can buy off-the-shelf that is high quality, can run Docker containers, and supports at minimum 10TB storage?
I ran unRAID for years, loved it, but their weird hatred of SSDs eventually forced me over to TrueNAS, which I know is solid and software-wise, have had no complaints.
But, my "server" is a desktop motherboard with an AMD APU and seems to kill SSDs every so often for some reason, and I'm too tired to figure out why. At the point now where I want something that can serve up raw Blu-Ray rips to Emby/Plex/whatever for watching with the family, and also double as a backup server.
I am not interested in spinning disks as I have a large collection of SSDs already, but am open to hearing an argument if there's a good use-case.
Is there anything r/DataHoarder can recommend or has good experience with that's ready to go, plug-and-play, and reliable I can pick up?
Can spend up to $3k, obviously would prefer less, but at this point am tired of having to touch it at all.
I currently have 12 TB (6x 2TB) SSDs on hand so the disk type is sort of a forgone conclusion.
