I have a spare SuperMicro H8DME-2 Dual 6 Core Opteron board with 2 cpus 12 cores and ram.
I want to turn this into an unraid downloading machine and run a few basic vm's.
Such as pi-hole, tailscale, nzbget and transmission.
I see it has 2 pci express x8 slots. It seems it is pci 1.0 so
2000MB/s max so I want to buy a gen3 nvme 4 tb m2 drive and put it in a pci-express adapter. I also will install a mellonox 10 gb ethernet card in the other slot.
My question is will this allow me to max out the nvme and ethernet? Or is the hardware too old and ready for the trash.
