My fileserver is getting an upgrade. My 5x300 R5 array is getting swapped to a 3x750 array (still R5). 300GiB of extra space. Yay! right?
I dont have enough power jacks for 9 SATA drives.
So I have to order some splitters from newegg since my local CUSSR doesn't have any. As I said. Frustrating. I could free one up by losing the raptor (but Id have to install another OS on my spare 120) but beyond that, I have 0 free as is and would need 3 to install, format, and copy to the new array.
I dont have 1.2TiB (the setup as is is FULL) to temp store on either.
I are sad puppy.
