Looking at upgrading one of my unraid servers from a dell r720xd to an HPE Apollo gen 10 - this would double the 3.5" drive bays available (12-> 24) but are there any issues or oddities with these systems? Anyone used one for unraid before and did it work well or have particular issues you ran into?
I have previously used a pi to run a display in my pc case, so I decided to get a xenon edge and the build quality is quite nice. I hooked it up to a pi 5 and this way it can be a stand-alone dashboard that doesn’t have any performance impact on my desktop - plus I can show stats from anything I want to via influxdb. I have made a web gui that the pi hosts, allowing me to add live wallpapers or images that rotate on a schedule, and add/edit widgets. I also have the pi watch for telemetry for my gaming pc to cut off when it sleeps, and uses that as a flag to sleep the xeneon edge. It then wakes back up when the gaming pc wakes up.
Pretty happy with it so far, though there’s plenty more to tinker with!
