Thanks for this - I have it running in a test system but will see what tweaks I can do to get all I can out of it.

If you want to go with a server, go with Intel for the QuickSync. GPU prices are crazy and will be that way for the foreseeable future. I would recommend going with the player direct play route over the transcode though. The Nvidia Shield is awesome and so glad I went with it. Plus the people I share with are still watching stuff at 720p and don't care no matter how many times I try and "help" them. Converting a 4k to 720p is just a waste. Have another Movie group for 4K only and keep it for you.

I am currently running a Ryzen 7 - 3700 (with a 1050ti) running Plex and all the arrr's (radarr, sonarr, etc.) I have a test server that is running an i3-9100 that has QuickSync. I have Plex up and running on both, tested it and those that have to transcode (nothing in my house does), do not notice anything different. My question is, what will I see if I swap the two? Downloads taking longer? Bottlenecks when SABnzbd finishes? A lower power bill? Anyone else made this "downgrade". Am I crazy to think about this? Thanks, -Jason

I had a power failure at my house last week and my unraid lost power. I ran a full parity check and nothing seemed incorrect. I did notice Sabnzbd was updated but didn't think anything of it. Fast forward until today, I noticed I am missing a good number of shows I have downloaded and traced it back to the download folder being /data instead of the /downloads I configured. I have several items I would like to grab from there but honestly I can't figure out how to terminal into that folder and move them. I don't see them in the appdata folder at all but the container folders are visible when browsing the /data folder. Any ideas would be very appreciated.
