History
A combination of a 2-bay Synology NAS and the short-lived light carrier Liliana, Sigil was built shortly after the move to Mustard Manor was completed. Designed with the aim of creating an all-in-one storage, media, and application server, Sigil was initially slated to use an older Xeon platform. SATA controller issues forced the use of a spare AMD platform instead, with a Ryzen 5 1600AF processor at the core. Later, the CPU was swapped for a newer Ryzen 3800X.
Present
Circa 2023-2025, Sigil was refit with a Titan X Pascal GPU for Plex transcoding duties, a 2.5Gbe NIC, and its array was replaced by twelve 6TB drives provided by User:Daedalus. Finally, her processor was replaced by a Ryzen 5900X briefly in service in Heart of Gold. Though pushing the limits of her chassis, this configuration has proven robust for ongoing server duties in Emerald City and beyond.
