@testdasi Thank you so much for your valuable input. The GPU is an RX580 (as you have correctly guessed) - I specifically bought an AMD card as I have heard of all the issues with the NVIDIA GPUs when passing them through. - The Supermicro motherboard has an onboard GPU and the Xeon E3 has another integrated iGPU, so I hope that passing through the RX580 will be work. I did not fully understand the vdisk with appropriate config. Could you please elaborate? I would not add the SSDs to the pool as mixing mechanical drives and SSDs does not seem like a good idea. Do I assign the SSDs to the cache? Thank you in advance for assistance.

Dear Unraid community, I am resuming my project of building an Unraid server with a Windows VM. A quick spec is a Supermicro X10SL7-F motherboard, an Xeon E3-1265L v3 and 32GB of ECC RAM. From the components you can see how long it has taken me . As for the storage drives I have 6 - 4 TB Seagate NAS drives for a 2 drive redundant storage, attached to the LSI Broadcom 2308 flashed to IT mode. The question I have is with how to use the 2 SSDs that I have: 1 Samsung EVO 860 1TB 1 Intel S3500 480GB (hopefully a bit powerloss resistant) The purpose is to be able to have Unraid as a storage and hypervisor for a Windows 10 pro which will be used as a workstation. The USB controller and GPU (RC 580 8GB model) should be passedthrough to it, so that it can be used as if it was a normal bare metal Windows 10 install. Option 1 is to define the Samsung 1TB SSD as a cache drive, where I would install all the dockers and with the unassigned drive plugin I would use the Intel SSD to install Windows 10. Option 2 is to reverse. Use the Intel as the cache and use the Samsung for my Windows 10 installation. I would like to have your input on what you think should be the best setup. I also thought of just passingthrough the 2nd SATA controller to Windows, however that way I could not have the dockers/plugins on an SSD. I understand that all my options do not provide any redundancy to the SSDs, however I’ll keep all files on the NAS storage and just have the installations on the SSDs. Many thanks in advance for all your assistance.

Dear all, As a potential unRAID customer, I would like to know how the purchased license work with updates? When buying the current version (6.7.2), will I need to buy it again if the new release comes out (ex.: version 7 or above?) and I would like to update to it? Or is this a lifetime license, which would mean that if I buy the current version I will be able to update it indefinitely? I tried to get more information on the main page, however the only information I get is regarding the number of HDDs and which plan to choose from. Many thanks in advance for your clarification. Best regards, J
