chrishorton7 Posted November 13, 2021 Posted November 13, 2021 Hi, I build my first Unraid server around 2011 - its running an old ASUS M4A78LT-M LE motherboard and and old Phenom II processor. I am looking to do a complete rebuild of a new server. My primary use is Plex and just within the one household. 1080k content has always ran seamlessly, but the machine is struggling a bit more with 4k content. I am leaning towards an Intel build from bits I've read around the iGPU. I will likely get the Fractal Define 7 XL or Fractal Meshify 2XL case as will have 10+ HDDs and currently run a SSD cache drive, but likely to get a NVME. So ideally looking for a board with as many SATA ports as possible. In my old server I ran the SuperMicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 card - I suspect that is pretty dated now so will be looking at getting a new HBA. Quote
