Thanks for the help. I got frustrated tinkering with bios settings for 6.9.2 to make it work and changed my install to the latest 6.10 rc, because I ran into additional problems with it not being available via webgui after my initial post. Now it boots, but I can't see the boot option menu, and it goes straight into the default unraid command line boot option. I can see the CL running once it goes, but there's no boot option menu before the CL starts. I did install the intel gpu top plugin with no changes to this behavior, but I'm OK with it for now. Hopefully I can get the boot option menu figured as I would like to be able to boot into safe mode, etc. if needed in the future. Thanks, again.

I’m a noob setting up my first unraid server 6.9.2. My system boots normally, but after the bios splash screen I don’t get any video out, just a black screen. I can’t even see the server boot process. I’m able to access it normally over web. Hardware is 11400 and gigabyte b560 mobo. I’ve checked to ensure igpu is selected for video. All my googling returns black screen issues after selecting gui boot, but I can’t get that far. I’m convinced it’s random bios setting I can’t find. Any advice?

I'm looking for some advice on how to best set up my cache drive(s) for my new Unraid server. I have 32 TB for array & parity. My cache / other drives available are 500gb Samsung SSD, 250gb Samsung SSD, 500gb WD Blue SSD, and Crucial 1TB NVME. My plans for the server are mainly Plex streaming and Blue Iris NVR. Blue Iris will be on Windows VM, and I don’t do much transcoding on Plex. Do I dedicate each of the ssd drives to a separate task - i.e 1 Windows VM, 2 plex cache drive, 3 docker appdata and unraid cache drive? Or is that overkill? Should I pool drives for Plex and unraid cache? I won’t have many downloads straight to Unraid. My current Plex / Blue Iris windows installation is only ~100 gb, excluding media and nvr recordings. Lastly, will the increased nvme speeds benefit any one of the use cases over the others? Thanks in advance.
