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

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
