My 32 TB Plex server running on a ministack. It ain't fancy but it gets the job done. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I've been running a full tower Windows server with a dozen drives for a decade and decided to downsize. This ministack does everything I need at a fraction of the power, noise, and heat.

I use it primarily for Plex but also host a few games servers for buddies. It fits perfectly in my entertainment center.

Spent around $200 on the Mac Mini plus $600 on the drives and enclosures. I'm using SoftRAID for RAID1.

You run Windows server for Plex? Couldn't you just use a basic Debian install or Truenas?

I'm running Mac OSX.
