Planning on using an HP Z440 workstation for my first unRaid build
specs:
Xeon E5 1630v3
64GB DDR4 2133 Reg Ram
512GB SATA HP SSD
Nvidia Quadro K2200 vga
HP MNPA19-XTR 10GB Network card
I was thinking about adding 4 WD Red 4TB HDDs and 1 more 512GB SSD; 2 WDs for parity using the latest public beta, 2 for 8TB storage and the 2x 512 SSDs for caching
I plan on using one single windows 10 vm and have the Nvidia quadro passthroughed to it, would I need another vga? do I get a cheap one for unRaid interface? or no need?
Also what do you guys think about the HDDs? Any other recommendations?
And where should I plug them? the board has the C612 chipset which supports two SATA AHCI controllers, sSATA and SATA. The sSATA controller supports four 6 GB/s ports and RAID modes 0, 1, 10 and 5. The SATA controller supports two 6 GB/s ports and RAID modes 0 and 1
Newbie here so many questions
