Hi folks,
Apologies, this will be rather long.
I am looking for help with two specific questions:
-am i a candidate/does it make sense to consolidate onto a single machine, Gaming/NAS combo? if so, what can i use from my old computers to limit what i need to spend?
-if it makes sense to keep using two machines, i would love some help configuring an unraid system with around 16tb of storage that can handle 4 simultaneous plex transcodes, SAB, sickrage, teamspeak
Here i will list the components i currently have that i think may be able to be used in the future, if it makes sense:
My existing nas contains the following:
intel e6700 cpu on eva nforce mobo
4gb ram
6tb usable space over 8 drives
areca 1222 card with 512mb cache currently in raid 6
My existing gaming machine contains the following:
intel 3930k c1 (no vt-d support) in Asus p9x79 deluxe board
16gb ram
240gb SSD
dual 580gtx cards
I am excited to make the move to unraid6 to manage my storage needs. What would you the experts suggest someone like myself do? Thanks in advance!
