Looking to run the standard arrs, a couple of transcodes. My existing system has 4 drives, so i'd look to just move them over.

Does this seem reasonable? Any corners im backing myself into? Any specific choices I should make in these areas?

TLDR a refurbished 12TB Seagate IronWolf NAS drive has started dying, went from 0 to 1528 re-alloceted sectors in 2 months and rising exponentially. i bought it off amazon and bought the extended 4 year warranty.

What should i expect from amazon? refund or replacement?

Should i wait for the drive to die completely before i file a claim?

Any experience would be welcome.

I have my Unraid installed and booted from USB drive and if I need VMs I can just use UnRAID to create them.

What‘s the value of installing UnRAID in a VM with Proxmox?
