March 12, 20233 yr I am currently using Asus X99-E WS with 1) E52696v3, 2) P2000 (Plex and Tdarr), 3) 3070 (Windows VM Gaming) & LSI 16. I am thinking to upgrade it specific for gaming 1440p via 13600K and Asus z790. I will not use p2000 and leverage quicksync and still use 3070 for the VM gaming. However, i do not know if the LSI 9201-16i will bottleneck on the 4x Lane. Im currently on 16 disks of 4tb/8tb/10tb combination.

Even with all 16 disks concurrently active, it should give them 100MB/s each. However, if the disks are in unraid array, except for parity rebuild, all disks are almost never concurrently in use, so you will get a lot more most of the time. Your parity rebuilds will be slower (but still respectable) if all disks are part of same array
March 12, 20233 yr Author thanks! i think this gives me more clarity on my decisions, focus on gaming or parity speed rebuild. Seems an easy answer.
