    Hardware recomendation for painles update?

    Looks like i will have to accept the high power consumption. When i want a low maintenance machine it has to be server grade hardware. I will look for a used supermicro machine on ebay.de. Thank you for the help.

    Hardware recomendation for painles update?

    How about this workstation? Workstation S 128GB RAM | Intel 8 Kerner | 2 TB NVME | NVIDIA QUADRO | OFFICE PC Would this be more energy effective?

    Hardware recomendation for painles update?

    Sorry, forgot to mention that i am working next to the server so it should also be very quiet. But maybe the rack versions can be modified to be quiet too. I will take a look at ebay.de for some used servers.

    How to replace pools? copy data or replace disks?

    @UdoB Sorry, i missunderstand your 'single drive vdev' statement. I will try this. Redundancy would be great but i would need at last two additional 18TB drives and the system is allready at max with its 32GB ram. Arc uses 15,6GB of 15,6GB, and the hit ratio is at 76%. I don't think it can...
