alturismo Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment

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

HNGamingUK Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
Marshalleq Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment
huntastikus Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
Phenix51 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment

AntaresUK Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment

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. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ayradd Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 2 x 4 GB DDR3 1866 A6-5400K CPU Unraid server, no VMs, no dockers, some plugins... mostly media server purposes, no transcoding. Quote Link to comment
rcm_fw Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
geraldbrent1 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
kevinm79 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 4gb ram mem usage 25%. I hardly run anything its just a huge file server for me Quote Link to comment
Defylimits Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 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! Quote Link to comment
z00100 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 16 GB, but only because I had it lying around. It's total overkill for my needs and 8GB would have been ample! Quote Link to comment
