I've already have an unRAID server but it's such a mess because of drive mappings, etc I want to just start all over with new hardware and all new config.
I just bought a used Dell D7600 dual E5-2680 Processors. It currently has 72 GB of ECC ram but with it being so cheap I can go up to 512 if I really wanted to spend the money. I'm thinking about adding another 128 GB of ram for use as a RAM drive. I have a 12 TB drive and 3 x 10 TB drives that I would like to use in it plus some others, but not sure what the best configuration would be. I currently have a 1 TB SSD, a 250 GB SSD and a Oracle F40 that has 4x100GB SSDs. I also have a small video card in there, haven't identified what it is yet, and then also have a 1050Ti to add to it.
I'm thinking about buying a card that can have multiple NVME drives and adding them if I need them for the speed.
The computer will be run downstairs in the basement so more or less it will be considered headless. I have Google Fiber so I have gig up and down for internet speed and using Ubiquiti USG firewall and Access Point.
Plex
Radarr
Sonarr
NZBhydra
Airsonic
Sabnzbd
Personal Cloud app
Reverse Proxy
Ubiquiti docker
Hacintosh VM - if it can be run remotely via vnc etc.
Linux VM
Calibre
Plexpy
Those are what I can think of so far, I like to tinker so I will want more in the future.
So I need help deciding whether I should get a 512 GB NVME, another 1 TB SSD, if I should even use the Oracle F40 4x100 SSDs and how I should set it all up so that I can take advantage of sabnzbd compiling the RSS stuff back together in memory (by maybe creating a huge RAM drive)? and Plex doing approximately 5-6 streams at any particular time.
Thanks for your help in trying to figure this out and if you have any questions please let me know.
