December 15, 20187 yr 48gb, unRaid and Docker containers, no VM, Plex transcoding to ram. Seems to work just fine
January 6, 20197 yr i have currently 32gb RAM (2x16), considering upgrading to 64gb cause i had a VM shutdown cause running out of RAM, i assume 2 dockers here are ballooning a little .... when not restarting the server ... what holds me back is my z370 board only supports dual channel, and when i remember correctly placing RAM in all 4 will not be helpful. 2 x Win10 VM´s, each 8 GB Ram, Rest System, Dockers, ... still on thinking about it

The Z370 motherboards can address 64gb in dual channel mode just like you're running now. Cheers!

January 13, 20197 yr My current system has 32GB of RAM and I am currently using approxx 30% most of the time. I will at some point probably upgrade to a new CPU, Mobo and RAM and when I do will probably opt for 64GB so I can run a few more services on it.
January 23, 20197 yr 32GB. I don't think I'll need any more than that currently. For NAS storage, a few dockers and a few VM's. The worst VM which is now a docker is the Crashplan one, which eats RAM. Think I'll turn that into a schedule rather than having it watch the file system live - should help. I have a Ryzen 1800x which is plenty of grunt. I did it this way because the QNAP equivalent was about 6k vs this at about 2-3k $NZD
January 28, 20197 yr 200 GB. I am running 3 VMs includnig a gaming vm, pfsense firewall and a vm I use for remotely administering stuff. I also run bunch of containers main ones are emby and nextcloud.
January 31, 20197 yr I've got 128GB of RAM in my current UnRaid server. Mainly just using it as a NAS/storage server. Plan on putting a couple VMs on it for stuff down the road.
February 6, 20197 yr 16gb ddr 4 kingston hyper black i think they called and i am using unraid on my daily and love it! Cant wait for payday so i can purchase my license.
February 10, 20197 yr In my old retired xeon e3-1220 (maybe 1225) v2 I had 32gb In this new and current server with e5-2697 v3 I have 64gb and hoping to upgrade to 128gb
February 14, 20197 yr 32GB Corsair Vengeance 4x 8GB cl 9-9-9-24 DDR3/1600MHz. Maximum for my motherboard/cpu (GA-H97M-D3H / i7-4785T). Upgraded from an 8Gb/ i5 (2x 4GB / i5-4670K).
March 9, 20197 yr M/B: Supermicro - X9DRi-LN4+/X9DR3-LN4+ CPU: 2x Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-2660 @ 2.20GHz Memory: 128 GB Multi-bit ECC (max. installable capacity 1536 GB)
March 10, 20197 yr 48gb on Supermicro build with 2x xeon E5640 , 7x 3tb hdd with 2x 240gb cache in raid 0
March 14, 20197 yr Question: Do people notice a difference in performance between 64GB and 128GB? I get that the extra 64GB could be used for plex transcoding but I was wondering if unraid makes good use of the additional ram for caching or something?

I get that the extra 64GB could be used for plex transcoding but I was wondering if unraid makes good use of the additional ram for caching or something? Depends. Most people with more than 32GB of RAM are using large chunks of it dedicated to virtual machines. All RAM not actively engaged by other processes will be used to cache writes, and to some extent, repetitive reads. The more the merrier. There is definitely a point of diminishing returns, where that point is will depend on the specific use case.
March 15, 20197 yr 2 x 4 GB DDR3 1866 A6-5400K CPU Unraid server, no VMs, no dockers, some plugins... mostly media server purposes, no transcoding.
March 18, 20197 yr 128GB ECC Unraid as Backup Server, 1 VM passtrough ssd, 3 docker Container (Grafana,InfluxDB,telegraf) for monitoring our vsphere environment and for the backup server, too.
April 14, 20197 yr 32GB ECC. Overkill, but it's what the box came with. I usually use around 40% of it with Plex transcoding and a bunch of dockers.
April 30, 20197 yr 56GB of ECC RAM, as one of my 8GB sticks died. I did have up to 128gb when I was running an VMware system in a HP DL360, but that as too noisey for home usage when I had to move it out of the Data centre it was in. Also when I migrated to UnRaid and never looked back!
May 3, 20197 yr 16 GB, but only because I had it lying around. It's total overkill for my needs and 8GB would have been ample!
