Could you please go more into detail how unRAID differs from a "traditional" NAS? Is there any difference, regarding data security, between my hypthetical unRAID server and my qnap NAS - assuming I only run one solution? What do you mean by unRAID is not RAID? I thought of unRAID as a Software-RAID solution (like I can get on my average Desktop OS). I actually thought that the Storage part would be less problematic than the heavy virtualization´.

Hello community, I'v been having this crazy idea of putting all my electronic devices into one computer. Now I'm trying to figure out what kind of hardware I would need and how much it would cost me (guessing ~2.500$). What devices should be integrated using unRAID: RAID5 NAS with ~12TB (I would use the WD Red's from my qnap) Debian Server for personal Git-Server and Nextcloud storage Kodi Home Theater with low-end gpu passthrough Windows Desktop system for everyday use with high-end gpu passthrough and SSD passthrough (This machine must feel like a bare-metal) Linux machine for messing around Windows machine for messing around This would run 24/7 So what would you guys recommend me? I am more interested in a general recommandation like "Get a 12 core Xeon at least" than in "You should get that i7 4690K that I use!", but I still appreciate any advice and discussion. Maybe somebody already runs a similiar configuration and wants to share his experience?
