hblockx Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 64GB wanted 32GB but girlfriend said she needs 32GB alone for her VM :'D Quote Link to comment
AnnabellaRenee87 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Old Server is at 16GB new server is 48GB but I can max that one out at 384GB which I may do, depends on if I need it more or not. Quote Link to comment

Justin_ Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I have 16GB of Registered ECC DDR2 RAM in a 4X4GB configuration, but have never come close to using it all. I recently reconfigured my drive arrangement form 8X4TB drives and 2X2TB drives down to 3X2TB drives, involving the need to transfer 3TB of the files off of the server onto an external HDD attached to my computer over a gigabit network connection and the server never used more than 29% of the available RAM Quote Link to comment
GeekMajic Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Bought a used SuperMicro box with 64 GB installed. this was a move from 24 GB on previous hardware. I really feel the improvement and the stability improved. Quote Link to comment
megna22 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I have 8 Gig I use my server as a media server only no dockers. Quote Link to comment
praaphorst Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 8 Gb of ECC ram, usage indicates 4 Gb should have been more then enough. I am not running any VM's. Quote Link to comment
dannygonzalez0861 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 16GB for me, I run two VM's, five Dockers and I have NEVER needed more RAM than that. 8GB for a Windows VM (Always On) 2GB for Remix OS (Always On) 6GB for MCMyAdmin2 Docker (Dockers only use what they need at the moment and I only have 3 Players) Sickrage Docker sabnzbd Docker Plex Docker ProFTPd Plugin Love my Server but 384GB!! LMFAO I remember when 512MB was the funk! Quote Link to comment
Harro Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 16GB for me with running some dockers and plugins and have never run into any problems so far with lack of memory. Highest usage I have seen is 3GB. Quote Link to comment
TheMannequin Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 8Gb....3 VM's, but only 1 active at a time, when needed. Quote Link to comment
TBSCamCity Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Main Server has 192GB DDR3 ECC. Backup Server has 48GB DDR3 ECC. Quote Link to comment
miniwalks Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 16gb at the moment, board supports 32 and will get there when ddr3 isnt so stupidly priced Quote Link to comment
FreeMan Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 16GB as noted in .sig Seeing how much others have, I'm a tad jealous, but really, I don't know that I need it. CrashPlan backing up nearly 1 million files at 2.7TB ran me out of room when I had only 8GB. Everything's been smooth since the upgrade. Quote Link to comment
Fire Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 had 48G DDR4. but i switched my motherboard, now i only have 8GB DDR3 Quote Link to comment
art-informa.pl Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 64gb ecc ddr2 . Seems to be a huge overkill when using VM's close to none... Quote Link to comment
Tiger770 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Iteration 1 AMD Athlon XP 2600+ 2GB DDR 266 ram Iteration 2 Dual Socket Xeon E5410 8GB DDR2 667 ECC ram Iteration 3 Dual Socket Xeon E5410 32GB DDR2 667 ECC ram I guess I upgrade in multiples of 4. Quote Link to comment
progrock Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 32 gb ecc ddr3... because that's all my motherboard supports, running Xeon E3-1225v3 (quad core, but 1 thread a core, so only 4 threads... kinda wish I had more, especially if I ever start using my windows 10 VM).. on a Dell proprietary motherboard with an Intel C226 chipset (Gutted from a Dell Poweredge T20) now in a node 804 case, with 2 x 4tb WD Red, 2 x 3tb WD Red, 2 x 2tb WD Gold, and 2 x 2tb WD Blue, and a Crucial MX300 750gb SSD.. with a flashed Dell Perc H310 to support all the HDs. All powered by a Seasonic Prime Titanium SSSR-750TD PSU. Also got an Intel X540-T2 10Gbit dual network card about to be delivered... not sure if it'll make any difference, but figured I'd at least try it out. Waiting for a good deal on a second .5-1tb SSD to complete my storage, got the 750gb Crucial for $100 last November... wishing I had bought 2. After that, I think this system is good to go. Have also considered getting a Supermicro Server motherboard, but unless I want to buy all new RAM and CPU, not sure if it would be much of an upgrade considering the LGA1150 socket DDR3 boards are Intel C222 or C224 chipset... and just doesn't seem too practical based on having a C226 already (even if it is a dell proprietary board).

DjangoInChains Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 16GB DRR4 non-ECC Mostly use the server for virtualization and various microservices in docker containers. Might upgrade to 32GB once RAM prices become sane again. With the current setup, I have to shut down most of my other VMs so I can give my render slave 8GB of RAM and I'd probably even want more than that in the long run. Quote Link to comment
eek Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) 32gb having bought an additional 16gb last week. That's for a couple of VMs I'm planning to add as soon as I get a chance... Until now the 16gb available was enough for the Dockers I'm using... Edited May 9, 2017 by eek Quote Link to comment
thany Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I can imagine a very small amount, like 1GB, should suffice when unraid is used purely as a fileserver. I personally have got 16GB installed, because I'm running a few VMs and a couple of dockers. I also like the idea of filecache in memory, and a bit of overhead in case when something really needs it, has never hurt anyone. Also, memory is quite cheap, so why not. Quote Link to comment
bamhm182 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 72 GB. Bought a Dell R710, 4GB sticks seemed to offer the most bang for the buck. Fully populated it. Quote Link to comment
