    Nowadays, I think of 8GB as the absolute bare minimum for any computer (Unraid or not).  16GB I consider to be the amount necessary to actually begin to "use" the system

    Hi, yeah I knew that, but for Windows 10 and for gaming.

    So, it 8GB the base minimum for Unraid too? For Unraid as a NAS + Plex in a Docker I mean.

    How much RAM for Unraid as NAS and Plex (Docker)

    Hi all,

    I have a simple question.
    I want to buy newer hardware for my Unraid server. Only a new CPU, motherboard, DDR4 RAM and a m.2 SSD for cache.

    But the question is about RAM Only.

    For CPU I want to buy the i3-10100
    For motherboard and SSD not sure yet.

    I don't use VM's in Unraid.


    But my simple question is, how much RAM do I need?

    • Like 8GB?
    • Or 16GB?
    • Maybe buy a motherboard with 4 ram slots and 8GB (2x4GB) and later same 8GB (2x4) RAM kit?

     


    On this moment I use an 3rd gen i5 with 16GB DDR3. I use Unraid only for Plex and as a NAS. (For now)

    It got the hardware for free and was the only hardware I had for Unraid. So, I didn't pick exact 16GB for Unraid. I just had it.

     


    Thanks in advance. :)
     

    Compatible 2.5gbit NIC's (PCI or USB A)

    in Hardware

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I have a question about Unraid compatibility with 2.5gbit nics (PCI or USB A).

    I use Unraid 6.8.3. Please say it if you need more info about my Unraid server and which Info you need.

     

    My question is, which (budget)* PCI and USB A 2.5gbit ethernet adapters are compatible with Unraid?

    And what to look for? I mean, it's possible that if you mention a NIC that it's not available in my country (Netherlands) so then I need some info in order to choose a compatible one.

     

    (budget*) = about 30 - max 60 euros)

     

    I bought a new motherboard for my game pc and it has 2.5gbit nic, so I want a new 2.5Gbit switch too, but before I even buy that switch, I need to know which PCI or USB A 2.5gbit nics are compatible.

     

    Please use clear and simple information. I'm not a beginner with IT, etc, but not a Pro either.

     

    Thanks in advance! :)

    And happy holidays! :)

     

    Kind regards,

    Johan
