September 16, 20232 yr I am looking for suggestions on the best positioning on the PCIe cards and a question about Pool devices vs Unassigned drives for my NVMe. Here are some specs to help the discussion UnRaid: 6.12.4 Board : ROG CROSSHAIR VII HERO CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core @ 3700 MHz PCIe Slot 1 (PCIe 3.0 x16/x8) -- Graphics card for Plex - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER PCIe Slot 3 (PCIe 3.0 x8/x4) -- 10GB Broadcom card PCIe Slot 5 (PCIe 2.0 x4/x3) -- SAS9211-8I 8PORT NVMe M.2_1(Socket 3) Question 1 For the PCIe slots : are there changes in positioning I should consider. It is my understanding from the documentation of the MB that M2 slots will be at PCIE3.0 X4 because of the AMD 2nd gen and therefore occupying all 3 slots does not relatively impact performance. Am I right in my thinking ? Question 2 At the moment Pool devices is 2 SSD 1TB and I have 1 NVMe in the unassigned devices. I have room to add another SSD to modify my shares accordingly. 2 SSD 1TB -- Should be used for appdata (Dockers) -Primary storage - Cache The NVMe -- Used for VM Disks. The new SSD to be used for downloads. The question I have -- Should I move the NVMe to Pool devices or leave under Unassigned devices? Thanks NB Server Plex, file share and dockers. other option is to buy a new board MSI PRO B550M-VC WiFi ProSeries Motherboard With 4 pcie slots Edited September 16, 20232 yr by ximian
