I mainly use my system for Plex and all the transcoding is handled by my Nvidia Quadro P2000. You're using your RAM as the temp transcoding directory right?

All the parts on my UnRAID server are actually my old system parts since I recently upgraded my personal machine. My old UnRAID server was an Intel 3770K with 16GB of RAM. 😁

August 28, 20214 yr 120 GB got a bunch of ram for free from someone else's decommissioned server project.... filled up my mobo.
September 20, 20214 yr 64GB I currently use aprox. 16GB with a couple of VM's and a few Dockers running.
September 23, 20214 yr It’s funny to look through from the beginning on May 14, 2014 up to now how the amount of RAM increased. Started with often 2GB and now sometimes above 200 or even 300. Actually I am up with 16GB and seeing no need to have more. Using some docker (increasing) and no VM.
September 23, 20214 yr 48gb I use a VM on it for dev work and started with 32GB total (4x8GB), 28GB assigned to my dev VM. Ran perfectly fine for almost a year til I had to work with some MatLab stuff that REALLY needed the extra 4GB I was used to having. Luckily found a 2x16GB kit that was the same brand, speed, and timings as my original 4x8GB, so managed to end up with a matched set without needing to blow nearly $400 USD on a 4x16GB kit

I have no need for the 64GB in my server. The maximum I have used was around 32GB with alot of VM's running. The normal is closer to 16GB with both PLEX and a Windows 10 VM running. The only reason why I have it, is that I got a good deal on a used motherboard/CPU/RAM combo, that was too good to pass. Since it was ECC RAM I could not really use it in any of my other machines.

November 26, 20214 yr 16GB of ram in a ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AMD FX™-8350 Eight-Core @ 4000 MHz and I only use the server for only one thing... plex. I don't transcode. I don't share my plex outside of my lan and it only pushes plex to one client at a time.
