windows isn't the problem. it can and will run all day, every day.
your existing box isn't a server. it's a desktop pc that you're doing 'server things' on. you want a server, make it one:
move the retro gaming, the 'shitposting', the 3d design work, and the random internet use that goes with those things, off to a different pc. doesn't even need to be that much of a pc. enough for the 3d work and emulators, and a fast lan port or wifi for accessing your 'server'.
leave the existing one with the *rrs, the storage, the drivepool and snapraid.. get everything else off. disable any oc settings you have enabled. it's a server. then leave it alone.
the antiunion/buy a console instead poster was delta airlines in 2019.
why, yes. we should "audit every penny"--beginning with everything any trump, or musk, or trump nominee or appointee, or supreme court justice, or congressional committee chair or chamber leader has their grubby mitts on. every account. every asset. every large donor or source of a 'gift' or 'favor' of any kind.
it all runs on Windows 10 (which is where the issue arises)
what 'issue'? your hardware should 'officially' support win11.
the only 6bay lff cage for it i found online after a quick search was over $400usd.
as others mentioned, msa30 is scsi (yuk). along those lines, you'd want the msa60 which is sas/sata, plus somewhere on the server to connect it to. probably not cheap.
but i really don't think it's worth putting a whole lot of time or money into a 15 year box.. at least not anything that can't be used in or with newer stuff later.
i'd probably just grab some 2-5tb 2.5in hdd for media storage and use those before i bought something specific for that old hardware.
dl380-g7 is some really old stuff. 1st gen westmere. not very power efficient for the performance. there's no hardware encoding (qsv with encoding started with some 2nd gen).
how well it can do software encoding would depend on the cpu. but don't expect too much, and nothing more demanding than h264 avc at reasonable settings. you'd need a newer video card with hardware encoding for hevc, av1 or anything like that.
iirc there was a 6bay 3.5in option for those, and that cage/backplane might be available somewhere.
operative krasnov's handpicked fbi director, and secretary of state, and ag.. pushing back on old spice's asinine and over-reaching ultimatum.
definitely got some spins (ok, a lot) on my record player when i was little. i musta had all the records from the early 70s and they all got played all the time... unless it was the chipmunks, or snoopy, watching a 'movie' on the show 'n tell.
if it leaks shit out of both ends, it must be full of it.
tuna & peas with shells & cheese
just on top of smashed (baked or boiled, cut, mushed with a fork, buttered) potatoes is pretty good
peas is often added to tuna noodle hotdish
dried peas make a damn good soup.
