My dad took delivery of his yesterday, and it really is a marvel.
Of course, literally all he’ll use it for is as a Plex server so he could have carried on with his M1 mini. But it does mean that I now have an M1 mini to mess about with.
Don’t tell him about building an unRAID server on a PC. It’s a rabbit hole your dad will love.
Can scale it from cheap used hardware to top of the line server hardware.
I started mine with retired PC hardware and have upgraded it to used commercial server hardware and it’s rock solid with more storage than my office server at work. 😂. The ultimate tinkering platform.
Oh god, he’d have no idea at all. He text me after I helped him set up his new one because Plex wasn’t working.
The server hadn’t been set to launch at login.
He loves his toys, but has almost no idea how to use them.
