Whatever you say... 👍

I am using this driver since Dec 2020 with HW-transcoding and Plex. There are no issues at all - so it can't be a driver bug... In my opinion, its the iGPU on your processor or an other hardware related problem because "no application" is working without a freeze...

Plex for one month is only 4,99 - maybe worth it to find the problem... But it seems (in your case) there is maybe a hardware issue.

Use Plex (for testing)? On my server, nothing is crashing - but i dont use jellywhatever...

My ASRock Board can handle 6x SATA + 2x NVMe simultaneously...

The i9 setup is a good choice - the 10th series of intel cpus needs more power at idle then the 9th gen and i am not sure, if it is already fully supported by unraid... So it depends...

Yep - i had a large binary number in it... gone... not nice 👎

If its a AQC107, it works fine 👍 And i would prefer the TP-Link TL-SX100 Desktop 10G Switch with 5x RJ-45 10GBit. https://skinflint.co.uk/tp-link-tl-sx100-desktop-10g-switch-tl-sx105-a2519258.html

Is there a "special reason", why you like to use this old Ryzen 1600?

Its possible with an open x1 slot (like on my ASRock board) because the cards have all PCIe 3.0 x4 interfaces - but with speed reduction. See this link for the speeds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express You can see that a PCIe 3.0 x1 can handle 985MB/s - not really less compared with max. 1250MB/s a 10GBit-NIC can handle. When i move data to my server over the Asus 10GBit NIC, i reach between 950MB/s and 1100MB/s.

4 sticks... but "not" 8... Thats the point...

Dont do that - @ 3200, most RAMs are overclocked and this must be avoided - use 2666 instead if stable... And read the manual first! See what it says about full populated RAM-Slots!

...unraid 6.10? ...soon... ...i see...

Avoid Crucial SSDs - some of them have problems with Linux - use the Samsung. And take a proper size - min. 500GB or bigger. I am using Samsung SSDs since a long time and never had problems with - see my Signature.

Nice Graphs - what exactly is this or how do you measure these values?

I tested my HBA on various ASRock-Boards and they worked all well - but its an original LSI-Controller... So (maybe) try this brand and Boards... But... it might be tricky to find (a working) one for this old CPU...

...using unraid since 2010 without ECC-RAM and never had problems... So for me, it's useless... but it comes "for all" with DDR5 👍

500GB min. See my Signature - using a SSD 970 Pro with 512GB. And avoid Kingston SSDs - some of them have problems with Linux (the A2000 for example).

A Cache-SSD is "mandatory" in my opinion. .) It holds all Dockers .) It caches Plex-trancoded data (if not transcoded to RAM) .) It holds all stuff what you move from your PC to unraid, and then the Mover can move it to the array - so it "speeds up" your File-Transfer. So its one of the most important drives for unraid.

Buy it and try it

Yep - Parity-disk must be in the "Parity-Slot" - rest doesn't matter 👍 In other words: Be careful to asign the "right Disk" to the Parity-Slot! This has nothing to do with the SATA-Connector - unraid identifies the disks by their serial numbers. So check the SN from the Parity-Disk and asign it to the Parity-Slot 👍

You are right... i didn't see the "TrueNAS" and was thinking about "unraid-to-unraid"

Yes - just "switchover" your disk and done - Beware the position of the Parity-Drive!

If you are an "expert", you can use AMD-hardware - when you know what to expect... I stay away from AMD since 11(!) years because there are a lot of restrictions and other strange things... Regarding Plex: If you plan to use HW-transcoding, go for Intel and a iGPU - at least a system with a Gen 7 CPU (with Intel HD630 Graphic) or newer.
