Hi folks,
I’m a total Unraid newbie. I have been running an Ubuntu NAS with ZFS Pool and would like to migrate to an Unraid setup while investing in a completely new hardware setup. My goal is an energy efficient build that still is performant enough to satisfy a 2,5GB NIC.
Hardware:
GIGABYTE B760 I AORUS Pro DDR4 (2,5GB Intel NIC)
2x 32 GB Mushkin Essentials DIMM Kit 64GB, DDR4-3200, CL22-22-22-52
Intel Core i3-12100, 4C/8T, 3.30-4.30GHz, boxed, Sockel 1700
2x 1TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus
3x 12-16 TB HDDs
Storage Array/pool: Zraid1 fully encrypted with 3 HDDs probably 12-16TB (depending on whats the best deal)
Cache pool: 2x 1TB SSDs mirrored; My idea is to use ca. 500GB as cache and 500 GB for AppData, Dockers etc. Does it work to split that way?
Extra SATA SSD as fast share: Potentially utilizing an old SATA drive with 256GB (if I ever need a fast access share)
Planned applications:
- Nextcloud
- Plex / Jellyfin / Emby
- Arr Suite
- Home assistant
- Some kind of Reverse proxy
- Adguard / pihole
What do you guys think. Is my planned hardware a good fit for the applications?
Is the 500GB enough for app data and dockers? Im not even sure if its possiblet o split the cache pool like that?!
Many thanks in advance for any help!
