Lukas777 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Is the Dell Optiplex 7010 Plus SFF with the i5-13500 a good choice for a Unraid setup? I want to run 15+ Docker containers and want to use multiple realtime transcodings for plex (4K to 1080p for remote watching). Quote Link to comment

No, it doesn't have any storage options besides USB that I can see. USB is not recommended for any drives except for the single required USB startup / license stick. All storage devices should be SATA / SAS / NVME directly. Quote Link to comment
glancy Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Thats not a very good reply, it has inside the box 3xsata ports, 1x m.2 2080, 2x m.2 2030 - and a PCI-e x16 slot - surely that would suffice, plus with the pci-e slot you can add maybe an LSI SAS Expander card of somesort??? Quote Link to comment

Sorry, apparently I looked at the wrong link. you are correct, it has enough expansion to make it minimally viable. Quote Link to comment
glancy Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Although it was someone else that posted - i am also trying this out tbh - have set up the dell part of the pc with 64Gb RAM, got lsi card - and all relevant sas cables - and just doing a test with a few random drives i have lying about - Will get back to you on the rest...
