Hey Folks!
New to NAS storage and UnRAID. Like most, I'd like some guidance before I drop potentially thousands into this.
Here is what I'll use the build for:
-General file storage, accessible on local network as well as via internet (full cloud functionality required)
-Plex Media Server / Transcoding
-Virtual Machines: 1 Centos7 VM, 1 Ubuntu VM (both multi-user graphical)
-Docker Containers (Not sure what's available yet, but I would like the ability to run multiple.)
-Occasional Gaming
Can I use my current rig as a good starting point?
Current Rig:
CPU - i7 - 3770k
MOBO - Gigabyte Z77x-D3H
RAM - 16GB DDR Corsair Vengeance
Video Card(s) - 2xNvidia GTX 970
Full Tower Case with 8 drive bays
Desired Drive Config (Open to suggestions)
RAID 5
4x4TB WD Red
2x240GB SSD
What additional hardware will I need? I'm sure I'll need a RAID controller. Which would you reccomend?
I'm sure more questions will pop up once I read some replies. Thanks!
