For AMD, I've heard Remotr works well for low latency remote gaming. I haven't gotten a chance to test it out personally.

Option #1 - If your phone's supported microSD size is ok for you, you could install the android Plex client, sync what you want to take with you, and output via Miracast to a TV or your phone might support a type of cable from your phone to the TV: https://www.howtogeek.com/201822/how-to-connect-your-android-phone-to-your-tv/ Option #2 - If you want more storage, you could buy a cheap android box+external HD, install the android Plex client, sync what you want to take with you, and output via HDMI. Warning...Plex syncing is a little fiddly. Sometimes the options take a little digging to get to. You might consider Kodi (might check compatibility with your phone/android box depending on which method you choose) instead of Plex for a portable option. I have Plex Pass, so the remote/syncing works for me...unsure how well it works if you don't have Plex Pass.

The folks here probably aren't going to be the best resources for hosting secure websites. The hosting provider will typically have either Linux or Windows Server for hosting (more likely Linux). I don't think either Windows or Linux is inherently more or less secure at this level depending on the competence of the admins.

I tried a USB vide adapter don't bother. I did this same thing with a 660Ti. It's still giving me fits, but I got it to work. A few issues... 1) It sounds like you got IOMMU and HVM working since the card shows up in the options. 2) My PNY 660Ti was *not* UEFI compliant so it would not work. I contacted PNY and they had no UEFI bios to use...they had none. I went to Techpowerup and started by looking for BIOS' with similar hardware (660Ti/2gb memory/same memory timings) and that had UEFI implemented. Got about 5 or 6 hits...the final BIOS (for a MSI card) finally booted. You can set up unRAID to load a separate video bios in XML without having to flash your card. 3) You will also have to use a hex editor (I used HxD) to remove the header off these BIOS files. This will allow you to use an nVidia card in the primary PCIe slot. Video resource: Right now, I'm fighting the VM just going unresponsive and not able to wake up. I downloaded a video bios editor to make the timings in the MSI card the same as my PNY card, but I haven't messed with it this weekend after doing that.

I had what sounds like this problem with my Windows ISO. I used YUMI to create windows boot disk on a thumb drive and pointed it at the ISO I was using. OVMF VM booted just fine to the flash drive (SeaBIOS worked without having to do this).

I don't know how well Plex will run on a Celeron. They are single or dual core...so you'll be sharing NAS functions and transcoding on either the same core or maybe one other. If you have multiple people transcoding at once, that could be problematic. Would also depend on your clients...Plex should allow them to use hardware decoding if the client supports it (which should reduce CPU usage on your Plex server). Using a recent Android box as a client would probably work, but a Roku would likely require everything to be transcoded on your Plex server.

FreeNAS v10 will be switching to dockers from what I understand. It's the same concept as jails in that they are not full VMs. The main difference in deciding which you want to run are: FreeNAS - ZFS unRAID - Virtual machines and Gracenote support for Plex ...aside from those, either should support what you want to do.

According to Backblaze, Seagate's reliability has increased pretty substantially. WD Reds have gotten pretty bad (even though I've had good luck with all the reds in my array). I've switched to HGST, tho, because of Backblaze's reliability reports.

If your Microserver doesn't use ECC memory, then it's pointless (IMO) to go with ZFS. You didn't mention what processor or what type of memory is in your server, and the HP site lists some options for Microservers that I don't believe support ECC (you'll have to check the hardware specs on the motherboard and on the CPU). The whole point of ZFS is data integrity, and if you're not going to go all the way then I'd say don't bother. ZFS also requires a fair amount of memory...the guideline is 1gb of memory per terabyte of hard drive space, but as you get to 8gb of memory that requirement isn't as critical. If you look around, you'll also find there is a ZFS plugin for unRAID, but it's a little fiddly and there's no gui support for it. I currently use FreeNAS and I love it. I enjoy not having to worry whether my data is slowly rotting on my arrays. I'm exploring unRAID because I want to do more virtualization.

I can create a Windows 10 VM using SeaBIOS (only changes are adding 1 core, changing memory to 8g, selecting the Win10 ISO, selecting disk 2, and 60G)...then I reverse boot order for HD and CD in the XML. Doing this, Windows install will start and I can start building my VM. If I use the exact same process, except OVMF is selected it boots to the UEFI shell. If I tap space to get into boot options and select the CDROM something flashes and then it just drops to the UEFI shell. Update: Something was wrong with the UEFI boot on the ISO. I used Yumi to set up a flash drive as a Windows Install disk (it was one of the options towards the bottom of the list) and then pointed it at my ISO. It moved all the appropriate files, and I was able to add the flash drive to the new VM and boot to it with OVMF bios.

*reads some latin from an ominous looking book* *rings a bell that looks vaguely like a human skull* *lights some black candles around a pentagram* *raises this thread from the dead to thank TyantA* You saved me from having to post and embarrassing myself by asking a question that had already been answered in the forums! I have this same motherboard and I totally missed the VT-d setting even though I was looking through the BIOS for it.
