unRaid experts opinion needed

[Rick_K]

Hello fellow NAS/unRAID users!

 

So I have a bit of dilemma. I am currently playing around with OMV as I am dabbling in this NAS/Media server world.
I have 2 servers.

1. HP Microserver Gen8 with a measly G1610T CPU @ 4GB ram, 2x 4TB NAS Drive and 2x 2TB Nas drive, 64GB SSD for data disk

2. Compulab uSRV Microserver i7-3555LE CPU @ 16GB ram, 4 x 500GB SSD 1x 64GB SSD data disk 

So as you can see, I have a storage node and a compute node, from what I can read about unRaid is that they can seamlessly work together. I will be using the i7 server as my docker, plex host and the HP server as my storage. My question for the experts here is, what license key should I be looking to purchase for unRaid and would the above setup work nicely? In the more large scheme of things is that I use the SSD for some caching but I am not sure how this would work with 2 servers in the mix. 

Also is it 1 key per server?

Any suggestions are welcome.

One key per server, and the difference between the licenses is the number of disks.

Really, the point of unRAID is to consolidate multiple machines in to one.

 

You should look at selling your two old boxes and build one 'decent' machine to solve both problems.  Or use the i7 for everything if it can handle the storage.
