I am planning to do a first unRaid build and wanted some thoughts on parts I had laying around. The plan for this server is for data storage (pictures/documents/programs) as well as house my movies for plex. I have the following parts:
The board has 6 onboard SATA 3Gb/s, 1 PCI Express 2.0 x16, 1 PCI Express x1 and is expandable to 32gb of ram. Would this be a viable option for unRaid? I also have a sata pci card I can use for more ports.
I plan on using 2 10tb drives for parity and then using a bunch of 4tb wd red drives I currently have for all the data.

Hi Everyone,
I am planning to do a first unRaid build and wanted some thoughts on parts I had laying around. The plan for this server is for data storage (pictures/documents/programs) as well as house my movies for plex. I have the following parts:
Motherboard GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 6.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 760G USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Processor AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5 GHz Socket AM3+
16 gb of Ram
The board has 6 onboard SATA 3Gb/s, 1 PCI Express 2.0 x16, 1 PCI Express x1 and is expandable to 32gb of ram. Would this be a viable option for unRaid? I also have a sata pci card I can use for more ports.
I plan on using 2 10tb drives for parity and then using a bunch of 4tb wd red drives I currently have for all the data.
Would love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!
