March 21, 20215 yr Hi all, I currently have an old server that is about time to upgrade. I've been out of the hardware game for way to long and I am at a loss of where to begin. I currently have 11 HDD's as follows; 1 parity 8 disks 1 SSD cache 1 unassigned device Hardware specs: Intel® Core™ i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz 16 GiB DDR3 (max. installable capacity 32 GiB) ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. P8H67-M PRO Version Rev X.0x Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 Marvell 6480 8 Channel SAS/SATA RAID PCI-E Card The primary purpose is to stream plex for friends and family, store data and run a couple of VM's. Ideally, i'd like to keep the SATA PCI-E card but I get a sense it's not highly recommended with a new upgrade. I have a budget of about $1,000 ... it does not have to be cutting edge but keep me going for another few years assuming the use case remains the same.

See my signature as an example - maybe it helps 😉 My machine is only for Plex and HW-Transcoding The Marvel-Controller is "not" recommended - use LSI instead With v6.9.1 you can also use 10th gen intel CPUs and NICs Edited March 21, 20215 yr by Zonediver

March 21, 20215 yr Hello guys I am using this thread to post a question; currently I have on my server a MSI X2999 PRO it is not a bad mainboard card but there is no way to do KVM Passthrough for video cards has anyone tried the X299 Taichi or the X299 Taichi CLX Thank you.
