February 12, 20233 yr I've got this older 2-bay NAS that's been running on OpenMediaVault for a couple years. I was wondering if I might give Unraid a try and install it on this system: Intel Celeron J1900 4-Core 2,0 GHz 64-Bit CPU Intel HD-Grafik Z3700 with QuickSync 2 GB DDR3L My main use cases would be: 95% Plex Media Server + TV-Headend 5% network storage with cloud backup to pcloud Since I'd like the system to be as quiet as possible, I'd use an SSD for the Plex database and tv recordings as well as a much bigger HDD which would act as cold storage for older, larger media files. I'd also would like to keep using Quick Sync for the occasional hardware transcode when I'm accessing the NAS from on the road. Any suggestions wether this setup is going to work with unraid?
February 20, 20233 yr Community Expert The minimum RAM requirement for current Unraid releases is now 4GB.

If you think you will frequently use Plex transcoding or allow other remote users access to your Plex Libraries, you might want to consider an i3 with QuickSync. You should also have a minimum of 4GB RAM and perhaps more if you want to transcode to RAM or run multiple docker containers.
