Request Assist to unclutter my setup design plan


Recommended Posts

Hello

 

First of all, Thank you for being apart of Linus Tech Tips. Never would have known of you otherwise.

 

All that being said, I am a little overwhelmed and just need a pointer in the right direction.

 

Goal

Steam Games, Pictures, Videos, Docs in one central location.  Any of my devices can locate and use.

 

My systems

 

Intel I-6700K

DDR 4 RAM

Asus Z170 Deluxe

5 SSD drives 256 GB each

GTX 980 TI x 2

Corsair 1500 axi

3 Asus Rog 144 hz monitors

 

MSI 990X

AMD 9590

DDR 3

3 SSD 256

Corsair 850 AXi

GTX 970

 

 

 

Network:

 

My house is "Smart Wired".

Netgear Modem

Netgear NightHawk x8 8500

Apple Router (acts as a range extender)

QNAP 431 (attached with port aggregation to router) with 4 Western Digital NAS 3TB drives.

 

All Workstations are connected via Ethernet.

 

Downloaded and installed Unraid on a thumb drive. 

Configured Bios in Asus Z170 Deluxe for VM. 

Plugged in one of my monitors into Intel graphics display port

 

(Deep Breath)

 

 

Question: Should I take the HD drives from QNAP and put into Z170 deluxe gaming rig or could I use the QNAP drive? 

 

What would be the most effective configuration in order to get me what I want?
