Amer Ali Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 hello community after about 3 years using Synology DS218play i decide to change my NAS to something more upgradable through time, and after 2 week of searching Unraid is growing on me more and more. but i have some concerns about the build that i want as it my first time i try it. The NAS mostly will be as a plex server 90% and backups for my work station (the old synology), my plex library is 1080p and some 4K and the maximum client will connect to Plex about 3 local devices (direct play) and 2 outside my home (not all at the same time). the budget if needed i can go for 2000$ but the less is good PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HPQfgt CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor CPU Cooler: be quiet!

SirReal63 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 To me it all looks fine, the only change I would make is to not use the mATX and go for the Steel Legend in full ATX for a few dollars more. That is a personal preference, you do get more PCIE (x1) slots and you have a case that will hold the ATX but you can certainly use the mATX. The extra x1 slots are not important now, but they may be in the future, to me it is better to have them and not need them than it is to need them and not have them. The power delivery is a little more robust on the Steel Legend as well though it is doubtful you will ever need it, it is nice to have. Quote Link to comment
