Hey all, Happy seasons greetings to you all!

So I've just got hold of one these from a friend who was just going to throw it away and thought it's going to be better than my i5 based rig I'm using at the minute.

The spec is: HP Z800
Processor #1: 2.66 GHz Hex-Core Xeon (X5650) - 6.40 GT/12MB
Processor #2: 2.66 GHz Hex-Core Xeon (X5650) - 6.40 GT/12MB
Memory: 24GB - (6 x 4GB) - DDR3 ECC Reg - 1333Mhz
Hard Drive #1: ATA Crucial_CT250mX2 SCSI Solid State Disk - Actual size 231GB
Hard Drive #2: ATA CT1000MX500SSD1 SCSI Solid State Disk - Actual size 931GB
Hard Drive #3: No Hard Drive #3
Hard Drive #4: No Hard Drive #4
Graphics Card: nVidia Quadro 4000 - 2GB GDDR5 - 1 x Dual DVI & 2 x DisplayPort
Optical Drive: 5.25" DVD-RW
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro
WiFi Adapter: TP-Link 300Mbps Wireless N Adapter

I'm not really worried about the SSD, optical drive or the WiFi card so they will likely go the journey.

My thoughts were yes it's got a few years on it but it's a lot more expandable than what I'm currently using from 2015 which has an i5 CPU and 16GB of ram.

Since it has two NICs on it I was thinking of running Frigate as a docker which I'm guessing I could direct cuts ait to use one NIC and everything else to the other, does that sound a reasonable plan?

So, is this a worthy replacement for my old server or should I send it to server heaven?

Not likely to start any works on it until the new year so have a little time and was considering buying one of these anyway to remove the data from the onboard sata ports on my current server anyway. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325677573475?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20221115143302%26meid%3D831118de48074e6baa2613a2932530b2%26pid%3D101613%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26mehot%3Dag%26itm%3D325677573475%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2Mobile%26brand%3DDell&_trksid=p4375194.c101613.m146925&_trkparms=parentrq%3Aca49357918b0a8d34d37089efffff9e6%7Cpageci%3Adf4c5619-825f-11ee-9639-aefcf921261f%7Ciid%3A1%7Cvlpname%3Avlp_homepage

Thanks everyone and Happy Christmas to you all.

So I've recently had a power cut that caused a few issues though I had just bought a new 8TB ironwolf to replace a couple of older 1TB drives from the dawn of time.

Typically though, this drive was DOA and the issues have taken out one of the 1TB drives.

I've bought a new 8TB WD Red that works great. I've used unbalance to migrate the old drives data to the new drive so I can get rid of them as they were starting to show smart errors.

My question is this.

The seemingly dead 1TB looks like it's working through a USB to SATA adaptor on unassigned devices and I would like to get the data from it back on my array but I'm unsure of the command to use with rsync to copy it from the old drive to the new array drive.

Obviously unbalance can't see it as it's an unassigned device.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks
