March 13, 20179 yr 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.

March 17, 20179 yr 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
March 21, 20179 yr 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.
April 10, 20179 yr 8 Gb of ECC ram, usage indicates 4 Gb should have been more then enough. I am not running any VM's.
April 11, 20179 yr 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!
April 11, 20179 yr 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.
April 18, 20179 yr 16gb at the moment, board supports 32 and will get there when ddr3 isnt so stupidly priced
April 23, 20179 yr 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.
April 27, 20179 yr 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.
April 27, 20179 yr 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).
May 7, 20179 yr 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.
May 9, 20179 yr 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, 20179 yr by eek
May 19, 20179 yr 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.
May 27, 20179 yr 72 GB. Bought a Dell R710, 4GB sticks seemed to offer the most bang for the buck. Fully populated it.
