I'm in a similar situation, either go with xeon, 2670s or with Ryzen. Going second hand xeon 2670s with ram and board works out similar cost to a ryzen 1700 and 32gb setup.
Maybe someone that has moved from xeon to ryzen would be be able to shed more light on the best option.
Myself personally, I'm waiting a little longer for ryzen to establish with Unraid.
I have the following
6tb parity
Disk 1= 2tb
Disk 2= 2tb
Disk 3= 1tb
I have purchased a 6tb drive to replace disk 1,2 and 3.
Whats the best way to do this please.
Thanks for the replies.
So can i use this current 250Gb SSD for VMs ? How do i do this, keep it as an unassigned device?
I can then then purchase a 500GB SD as the Cache
I have a Samsung 250Gb SSD. It's used fir a couple of VMs and I have around 130gb spare for my download folder, torrents. Is it normal to need to upgrade this to a 500gb, it's just it runs low most the time. Is a 500gb cache normal or excessive, or can I utilise the 250gb better. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
Hi,
When i download a torrent it is going onto the cache drive but not moving to my share folder, i have tried MOVER but still nothing.
Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong please.

Thank you.
The 8 Port LSI is too expensive,.
This is the cheapest 2 port i can find

Hi Johnnie,
That does sound like the issue,.
Squid has this card working, but also mentions its compatibility with certain hardware.
I can return the card, is there a recommended 4 port Sata card?
