Just to say for someone with almost zero knowledge of linux based systems and building a PC/server for the very first time is a very scary thing, what actually motivated me was this community right here, i saw so many people seeking answers and everyone gets the help they needed. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and time

Thank you for your input, after about an hour memtest shows 49 errors, just orderd new ones. One more question if you dont mind, do you think after installing and testing the new ram the system will boot up normaly or should i just format the cache drive just to safe ?

Thank you for the reply, so i just started the memtest86 a few minutes ago and I already have 2 errors showing, does that mean I need new dimms ? it's just weird that these are newly bought ones and never been used before, should I be going for ECC DDR4 or do I just buy normal DDR4 ? Edit: not sure if it matters but I have XMP enabled in bios, will that show errors in memtest or cuased the issue with the server ?

I woke up today and was unable to start any of the docket containers, rebooted the system and docker service is unable to start, tried to use the fix common problems plugin and it shows an error that unable to write to cache, cache drive is not full, not sure how to go about fixing this If it helps here is the hardware MSI z690 edge DDR4 Intel i5 12600k Corsair LPX 2x16GB 3x 18TB exos (including 1 parity) 1x samsung evo 980 pro 2TB Server was built less than 10 days ago, havent had any other issues, any help is greatly appreciated Diagnostic file attached hydra-diagnostics-20221117-0812.zip

Hello everyone, First time posting here, i have an old server using ubuntu and kinda getting slow (specially when transcoding) thats why im gifting it to a friend and building a new one, i have decided to go with intel 12th gen for the quicksync transcoding and ill be using Unraid for the first time (went with Unraid just becuase i saw how helpfull the community is in here and reddit), power consumption is not an issue where i live, could use some advice on the parts below Budget: 1500$ ish Usecase: Plex & *rrs server for 2 local clients and 4 remote (some will transcode) and i prefer my media to be stored in 4k Future: id like it to be future proof at least for a bit and i might be expirementing with other stuff like security camera setup and some vm's Current Parts: starting fresh and not using any of my current parts Drives: opted for a 2TP nvme (cache) and 2 12TP hdd and will definitely expand the hdd (i think 6 or 8 max) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ckcVH2 As you can see i have already chosen the parts with my own limited knowledge, does this list look good, anything i can change saftley (tried to get a cheaper mobo but reviews on youtube scared me) do i need a seperate nvme for plex (something ive read) do i need more RAM? can i replace some parts with cheaper ones ? Any money saved will go to a 3rd hdd Appreciate all your feed back and thanks in advance
