I'm a new user to Unraid (I'm an embedded software engineer by trade), I replaced my Synology NAS with an Unraid server as I'd filled all the drive bays and it seemed a better option to build a PC with adequate space for disks, I'm already familiar with docker and stuff. Didn't take me very long to not only get set up and running, but to fall in love with Unraid, I love the fact it's JBOD with parity, if I happen to lose a disk and parity then I just lose what's on that disk, no biggie, as opposed to the synology where I'd lose everything.
I fitted a blu ray 4k friendly drive in my machine as well, I've successfully used the MakeMKV container to rip both blurays and 4k blurays.
Very happy with my decision to go to Unraid. I'm having some issues with Linux VM's at the moment, but I have a workaround, my Windows 10 VM works like a trooper.
Thanks soo much for info. I think I will be rolling this way.

I recently purchased a dell R710 PowerEdge.
Dell PowerEdge R710 LFF 2U Server
2x Intel Xeon X5670 2.93GHz Six Core Processors
24GB RAM (6x4GB)
PERC 6/i RAID Controller
6x 3.5" Hard Drive Bays
No Hard Drives
iDRAC Enterprise
DVD-ROM Optical Drive
2x Power Supplies.
got good deal on it so gonna start from here and see how I like working with server. Any ideas, recommendation’s? Plan on probably upgrading ram and taking raid controller out. Want to do the media route with unraid till I can buy all the drives I want. How easy is it to use unraid and navigate through for a newbie? Is there a auto dvd rip plugin or app I can run?
