  1. Is this where I come for support with Plex in unRaid? I don't think I installed the binhex version but I didn't see a support thread for the official Plex docker. I don't know the difference in the binhex version and the official version. I'm having trouble getting Remote Access to work correctly and I know that I've forwarded each port that Plex uses correctly in my modem settings. I had Plex working on a Windows server prior to moving it to unRaid and I had the same port forward rules setup for my Windows machine. I have the Plex docker setup as "Host" network type so it should be using my server's IP address. Can someone help me get the remote access working correctly? I think its causing all my clients to connect indirectly. Plex Docker Port Mapings: Modem Port Forwarding Rules (AdamNas = 192.168.1.189) This just show how the rules above are defined in the modem/router. Plex test for remote accessibility. Modem NAT for Plex Server IP (192.168.1.189). I post this because it looks like other ports about being used.

  2. I think that means the 2 12TB drives would be okay in my setup then. The largest drive size I have in the pool of data drives is 8TB. Does this also limit my ability to install larger data drives in the future? For example, if I wanted to install a 14TB data drive in the future, does that mean I would need to upgrade my parity drive to something larger? Or would Unraid simply assign the new 14TB drive to the parity drive and the old 12TB parity drive becomes the additional data drive? Are you saying I could lose 2 data drives simultaneously without losing data if I have 2 parity drives?
  3. Thanks. I think I read that in the setup but assumed it stored something on the hard drives. That's good to know that the OS won't need its own SSD.
  4. I'm looking to build an Unraid server and move all of my data over from my Windows Storage Space. The Windows Storage Space performance isn't that great and I feel like Unraid would be better to host all of this data. The server will mainly be used for Plex and I'll probably go with a decent graphics card for transcoding. I have two concerns/questions about the hardware to get started. My Storage Space currently has 14 hard drives, each varying in capacity, for a total of 72.21 TB. I'm using 27.9 TB of the Storage Space. I'm curious what is the most economical way to build an Unraid server without buying a bunch of extra hard drives to temporarily host the 27.9 TB of data while I'm moving everything over? I'm thinking I'll need a minimal amount of storage to get started and I can slowly remove one disk at a time from the Storage Space to be added to the Unraid server. Also, what would be the best motherboard and case to use for all of these drives? I'd like to have them all connected via Sata but I don't know if that's possible. They're all 3.5" drives and I don't know if there's a case that can hold that many drives or maybe there's a better way to do it? I'm curious about the parity and cache drives as well. The documentation shows that you should have two large parity drives. Would two 12TB drives give me a good amount of parity for a pool of this size? How many drives could I lose without losing any data? I would like to install cache SSDs in the server. Can one of the SSDs host the OS or should I have 3 SSDs (one for the OS, two for caching)? Any advantages or disadvantages for using AMD versus Intel processors? Also, any advantages or disadvantages for using NVIDIA versus AMD GPUs? Sorry for all of the questions and thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond.
