what used office machine for unraid

Hi i found a local charity place who do office clearances and resell anything they can so i was going to give them a call to see if they had any low powered systems for sale i3,i5 type, so could you help on what to ask for if they had any for sale, failing that i have a Gigabyte F2A85XM-D3H board with an AMD A10-6700 APU running atm so will also ask if any ddr3 ram ?
Thanks

Thanks I run my unraid on an old A10 and just wondered if there was an upgrade I could look for

Mate you have no less than 7 threads on page 1 all talking about roughly the same thing.

Sorry just checked and not exactly the same but i get your point, i will ask elsewhere

My point was more so to create a thread with what you're trying to achieve, and then deep-dive into these detailed Qs.

thanks, i was just saying that i would be better reading up and posting on the unraid forums as it's that specific

I'd check I even wanted or needed unraid as it can be bloody complicated if it goes wrong.

i ran whs since it first came out and was happy with it, different drives drive pool and extender, but as they dropped support, i then tried truenas core for a year then scale for a short while but as i only wanted a media server and photo/files backup, i thought overkill, i am now trying unraid with plex and home assistant so i could remove my raspberry pi from the home setup and add to unraid, and with the disks spinning down i like it so far

Hi thanks for the replies, atm I’m using an old A10 6700fm2 with 16Gb ddr3 ram, I have 4x4Tb one as a parity drive plus a 120Gb ssd cache drive. Atm I only use this machine for plex with home assistant and to store photos and files, I would like in the future to instal nextcloud
