Hi All, Attempted to host SMB on a different network, its hosted on 192.168.109.201. The main network is 192.168.110.0. When a client access the share on Windows 10, there will be a random freeze. e.g when playing a video, and the freeze occurs.. the video hangs too. If I don't host it on a specific network, on 192.168.110.xx.. there's no issue. Am on the latest version and the SMB config is unmodified except that parameter. Was googling but couldn't find a solution.

Hi, Could I check if the Corsair MP510 still has any bugs in Unraid?

Did some reading, and checking with your requirements. You may want to consider another motherboard (or AMD Threadripper/fall back to your initial plans) Point to note, if you went with Intel's cpus - it has QuickSync. which could be useful for your streams. You'd probably need three GPU's (two for VM, one for Plex docker) and one/two USB cards (for Win VM) - If there aren't enough PCIE slots, you could use a bifurcation riser tool like https://www.aerocooler.com/rc27332x16c7-2u-2-slot-pcie-x16-flexible-riser-card-w-7cm-ribbon/ I'd suggest the Quadro P2000 for Plex transcoding.

Based on researching around, AMD setups seem quite stable. Check out the Asrock X470D4U motherboard, it has onboard IPMI for remote management. Otherwise.. for AMD CPUs, there's no onboard GPU. You need to do research whether the motherboard can operate headless. (I bought this motherboard,pairing with Ryzen 2700X and Noctua L9a cooler) I think AMD consumes less power compared to Intel too. Couple more suggestions: Don't forget to get a thumbdrive (for unraid) Instead of uploading to Google, you could purchase another 10TB drive and migrate data over. After verifying data integrity, add back your old drives and set one of it for parity. Consider better quality SSDs, i.e Samsung 970 Evo/Pro's. Look out for the TBW value. Consider 64GB x2 Corsair Vengeance 3200mhz RAM (RAM speed drops to 2400mhz if all four ram slots are occupied)

how about two cables, four sata connectors and one cable, two sata connector?

Some questions; How about a Team Red build, i.e AMD 3950x? It has 12 cores, 24 threads. Seeing no drives listed on the plans, how are you planning to migrate your Synology data to unraid?

What are you operating in unraid?
