myongha Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Been slowly getting parts for my NAS/Plex/Gaming VM. I have never setup unRAID server before. See parts list below: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WDf8Bj +LSI 9300-16i 16-port SAS card +Asus BW-16D1HT - need to flash to libre mode May get a gpu for the gaming VM (if I do will do igpu passthrough for Plex) My thoughts so far: -20tb x 2 = parity and storage for Plex media -10tb x 3 = zfs setup (important docs and family pictures/videos - items that I cannot lose) -2 nvme drives for parity cache -1 nvme drive (could I use this directly for the gaming VM? If I want to use the optical drive to backup my media do I need a separate VM? How should I allocate cores/threads and ram? Am I using the hardware in the best way? Should I set it up differently?
