January 12, 201610 yr Hi I have a new UNRAID build in the works which will finally move me from my long standing ESXi install. The components i have for the new build are as follows... 1.) Gigabyte X99P-SLI Motherboard 2.) 64GB DDR4 Mem 3.) Xeon E5 2660 V3 CPU 4.) 2 x Samsung 840 EVO SSD 5.) 2 x Samsung 850 EVO SSD 6.) 1 x Samsung 950 Pro NVME SSD My plan is to passthough the NVME drive direct to my main Windows 10 VM since that's going to be my gaming/productivity VM. All other VMs and docker/apps etc will be on the Samsung EVO SSDs. Question: I want to get the best performance out of UNRAID and the componenets possible. Should I stick with my plan or can anyone recommend a better configuration? Also, can UNRAID detect the onboard Intel RAID controller if I set the SSDs up in RAID 1 or RAID 0? Thank you!

Anyone care to comment? I am keen to understand whether UNRAID can detect the Intel controller when configured in RAID mode? thanks
