How much RAM do you have installed in your unRAID server?

Thinking of doing a 16GB ramdisk for scratch/ windows 10 "pagefile.sys"

That is very much misguided. I thought these "use ram for pagefile" kinda myths should all have been debunked by now.

Just assign more RAM to your Windows VM or use baloon functionality if you want flexible RAM assignment.

I currently have 32Gb in mine mainly because I had 4 8gb sticks sitting around unused and figured that way when I start creating more VM's I will have plenty. The hardware I am using is a bit overkill for my use case, most of it is left over from my old desktop. I currently just use unraid for my NAS and have an Ubuntu VM that I use for a lab for school since it moved online

Edit: the memory is DDR4 3000Mhz non ECC I think it is G.skill aegis so pretty cheap but it works well and I have had no issues so far
