  1. I don't intend to run either at the same time, Plex will be in the evenings and the VM will be during the day, though this will also not be intensive either. Mostly for updating some PHP code and to get Ubuntu off my local disk. Most of my media files are HVEC files so the i7 3770 will not be suitable? I also have an old 1050ti I could drop in to the board as well, if that will help transcoding or is that entirely the CPU? My current NAS has an Intel Atom D2701 and runs the HVEC files without issues. As for the i3, instead of Intel I could also go AMD on a similar board of size (micro-ATX). The devices used to play the files are Mii TV Boxes if that would make a difference? Remote or on mobile, we do not use at all. The VM will not be active at all, not an all day device, I use my Mac as my daily driver and my Desktop machine for gaming and so forth. That runs an i5 9600K on an SUS ROG Strix B360-F board and 32GB DDR4 and an RTX2080, which is slight overkill for my games. Would that CPU and motherboard and RAM be more suited for the NAS? If running a VM on the NAS will be costly to my other processes I will refrain from doing so, I will then map a drive to my PC and use said as the drive for storage to be used in the VM and still keep the VM on my desktop but the storage and ISO on the NAS? My main thing is running Docker containers. I forgot to mention MySQL as well in a container and some smaller one like Pi-Hole and so forth. As for running a VM, I could spin up a docker container with NGINX and PHP and use that instead of the VM as that is what the main use of the VM will be for. Thanks @Hoopster for the info so far
  2. Hey all, so new to unraid. I currently run a Netgear ReadyNas 316 with 4 docker images but the device has become or rather feels limited to what it is capable of doing. I have an Asus P8Z77 - V LX and an i7 3770 with 16GB (4x4GB 2166mhz) that's been sitting and doing nothing, it use to be in my PVR for around 3 months before shutting it down, would this be viable for the build? Alternative to this would be a MSI B365M PRO-VH Intel B365 Coffee Lake LGA1151 Micro-ATX Desktop Motherboard and Intel Core i3-9100F if my current motherboard would not be viable. It has 3 x 6GBs SATA ports and 3 x 3GBs SATA ports which the initial build will have 5 x 10TB Iron Wolf drives and one 512GB SSD for cache. I will later add the SATA controller for more drives. Would the motherboard and CPU be suitable? Its main use will be Docker Containers, Sonarr, Radarr, SABnzbd, Plex Media Server (2 streams 2k video streams) and file storage and if possible an Ubuntu VM (for php coding) Options: Option 1; Motherboard: Asus P8Z77 -V LX CPU: i7 3770 RAM: 16GB Option 2: Motherboard: MSI B365M PRO-VH CPU: i3 9100F RAM: 16GB Option 3; Motherboard: ASRock H370M-PRO CPU: i5 8600 RAM: 16GB Option 4: Motherboard: BIOSTAR B360 GT3S CPU: i5 8600 RAM: 16GB Option 5: Motherboard: AMD B450 AORUS CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 RAM: 16GB Option 5: Motherboard: Asus B350 Prime B350M-A AMD AM4 CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 These are the options I have, I will get either of these that would be suitable for the build and to run 6 drives for now and to later add the SATA controller.
