I purchased a license for [unraid](https://unraid.net) on 2025-02-12 to build my homelab using an existing Lenovo i7 PC from around 2017 or so.

`opdroid1234` had some recommendations to upgrade the storage:

1. get some HDDs from [serverpartdeals](https://serverpartdeals.com/collections/seagate-exos-enterprise-drives)
2. and two memory sticks [from here](https://www.ebay.com/itm/186593698471?_skw=optane&itmmeta=01JMFEQZ5AXYJB0G71CFGNWP2V&hash=item2b71d9e2a7:g:kOgAAOSw9xJmo7M-&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAAwFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1dHQ1ljYAqfDZUHxjIGpnp3qGgq9iXWB06RMa5TyPGq3kcAdoS6cqCBc9eWHrT07iFj2DDyukRu%2BnbPrs0bismUFBVKyJppvnER0NPq9rhKwpPDQJmmSPCckOMpPY6%2FWZZgVaTlEAKhBTPZ4S75hcLHNI7PDp68eICwvwNbcQZj2xWBz2LrdpQi%2FQIwyQs7xqDALWwM86iaUBry1%2BfiwiKCmQ%2Brhtk05fjFqdzTjG2Ung%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_zy3-6jZQ) (3x Intel Optane Memory M10 SSD M.2 2280 16GB MEMPEK1J016GAL PCIe 3.0 Xpoint NVMe) as [zfs] cache.
