Paul_Ber Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) I think the bottle neck is the AMD 970/SB950 Chipset limited PCIe lanes. (edit went back to 1 Parity drive to have 8TB more space) I also notice I got the second Parity disk, the read and write speeds are slower. If I went back to 1 Parity disk would that help the read/write speeds? Replace aging MB/FX-8370/DDR3ECC with something new? Case can take a ATX MB, so 2 x16 slots and 1 or more x8 slot on new MB.

Paul_Ber Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) ASUS WS C246 PRO ATX Server Motherboard LGA 1151 Intel C246 (there is AsRock Rack C246 WS 8 sata CPU & 4 sata other chip) Intel Xeon E-2288G (with iGPU can you transcode Plex and use the Video out at the same time?) 64GB ECC DDR4 (16GB x 4) Not sure why ASUS says AMD Crossfire when it is Intel?
