So I started my journey with unraid some 6 months or so ago. Mostly used pieces I had been gifted through my job. I was just getting into Plex properly, as I’d decided to rip my 1300+ Blu-ray collection to digital. Old build was a ryzen 9 5900x base, with an Nvidia M4000 card. It got the job done, but I got to a point that I was running out of space to expand. Decided to upgrade, kinda went balls to the wall, but I had money to burn and wanted to have something that would last for a while. POOKIE 2.0: CPU: Intel I9-13900k RAM: 128 GB DDR5 5200 Ram MB: Asus Proart Z790 board CASE: Fractal Meshify 2XL CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin HBA: 2x LSI Broadcom 9200-8i PARITY: 2x - Exos X20 HDDs STORAGE: 222TB Total(3x - Exos X16 14TBs, 9x - Exos X20 20TBs) CACHE: 1x 2TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe for appdata, etc. another for downloads. POOKIE 2.0 next to 1.0. Coolermaster Haf X case served me well, Meshify 2 XL can’t be beat for HDD space. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
