That you very much for considering this built and commenting.
In terms of money, I rarely spend any, but when I do I want to do it right. Therefore I don't mind cashing out a little extra to get the best brands for this build, but I need your help to keep the sanity level up
What do you mean not a quad channel platform? UnRaid?
I could go with 16 GB, and maybe even drop to the non-pro4 AB350M motherboard that only supports two ram-blocks, I just don't want to regret this downgrade later on. But then again.. If I go for 32 GB ram and the server maxes out at a 7 GB usage, then I wasted a lot of money.
Are you saying that if I get a M.2 port-connected SSD there is a risk that unRaid won't support it as a cache drive? How would I go about checking this in the motherboard manual?
I'd rather have it in the M.2 than having it take up a SATA port that I could use with a HDD. Also, its awesome to have such a small and hidden away SSD
The Ryzen 1700 wins the passmark divided by TDP game so that's why I'm going with that one.
More feedback and criticism is very welcome.
