You need a SSD tho, other than that this beats Umbrelβs home server

Yeah. For the Dells I recommend an upgrade. For about $100 you can get a 2TB SSD nvme and a caddy to plug in place of the optical drive. That's good for a few years of Bitcoin running even if blocks are full of inscriptions.
Shit, you can buy no-name Chinese 2TB SSDs for like $60, but if you want name brand:
I've heard of many failures on the recent Samsung EVOS in past few years. Great brand usually, and probably just a numbers issue, but still makes me nervous.
Then again, I've had to return WDs and had a TeamGroup prematurely fail at 3 years.
