March 24, 20215 yr Here is my build, which started very modest a few years back. On the right side of the chassie Unraid Server build on a workstation xeon mainboard: unRAID 6.91 Pro CPU: 2 x Xeon Gold 6226R Motherboard: Asus C621E Sage RAM: 4 x 32 GB Samsung DDR4-2933 RDIMM PC4-23466R Dual Rank x4 Module Case: Lian Li DK-05F Drive Cage(s): 2 x 3 HDD cages Power Supply: CORSAIR AX1600i SATA Expansion Card(s): Using the motherboard NIC: Mellanox MCX314A Cables: ...of God..... Radioators: 1 x EK 480 and 1 x EK 360 Fans: 4 x EK-Meltemi 120ER and 3 x EK-Vardar X3M 120ER D-RGB Parity Drive: 18TB Seagate ST18000NM000J-2TV103 Data Drives: 3x 10TB details later Cache Drive: 4 x Corsair MP510 960GB. Total Drive Capacity: 30TB in the Array. Primary Use: Data storage, Plex streaming, Roon Server, FaH. Likes: No need for apartment heating. Dislikes: No need for apartment heating. Add Ons Used: Details later Future Plans: An AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro build maybe. In the left side is the Game Machine: Windows 10 Pro CPU: Ryzen 9 3950X Motherboard: Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero RAM: 4 x 8 GB (4000Mhz) GPU: Zotac RTX 2080-ti water-cooled Case: Lian Li DK-05F Power Supply: XILENCE Performance X 1250 Watt SATA Expansion Card(s): Using the motherboard Cables: ...of God..... Radioators: 1 x EK 480 and 1 x EK 360 Fans: 4 x EK-Meltemi 120ER and 3 x EK-Vardar X3M 120ER D-RGB OS drive: Samsung 980 Pro NVMe SSD. Data Drives: Samsung 970 Pro NVMe SSD. Primary Use: Gaming, more specific Dirt Rally 2., checking what mining is. FoldingHome. Likes: It works great. Dislikes: Original plan was run run a Game VM on the unRAID server, but I had trouble with the wheel. Which turned out to be the wheel and not the VM. Plex setup: I have setup a Supermicro SuperWorkstation 7049A-T (Mini) as a file server running Windows Server 2019. The content is stored on a 3 tier Storage Spaces share. 2 x 1 TB NVme ssd as cache, 8 TB SSD and 2 x 10 TB. Mini is connected directly to the Unraid server with Mellanox MCX314A-40Gb. I am running a Plex container and Quadro RTX4000 for transcoding. I have followed @mgutt setup for Plex transcoding in RAM. Plex media library is a "remote" share, which is the media share on Mini connected with 40Gb NIC´s. Plex is crisp. Cheers, Frode Edited March 25, 20215 yr by frodr
