Hello,

 

i have a few questions.

- Can i use a hardware raid controller?

- Can i make a raid 1 for the ssd cache?

- Can unraid work with Ryzen?

- Can i use the 8 Sata ports with unraid?

- When i passthrough one Graphics Card to a virutal machine. Can all the others use the onboard graphics or a second graphics card

 

I created a build. Can anyone check if it works?

 

I want use the M2 SSD for the OS and the Sata SSD for Cache. 

The Graphics Card is for  gaming. I want to passthrough it.

 

What Intel Xeon can you recommand with 8 cores and 16 threads in the same price range?

 

Greetings

Hi.

 

All the questions are alrady answered on this forum, but let me overcome this and help you a little.

 

Not all raid card work with unraid - you have to have the ability to run a card which can pass the drives to the system (not in Raid Mode). Some cards do this off the shelf, some can be flashed to enable this - Dell H310 is a good example of cheap hardware raid card which can be flashed to support the required functionality (IT MODE) you will find instructions on the forum for that

 

You cannot use any raid VD as any part of the unRaid array

 

unRaid works with Ryzen

 

Yes, you can use 8 sata ports

 

You can pass one physical device to one VM, if you want to have 2 VM for gaming simultaneously, you have to have 2 graphic cards and pass them 1:1

 

You are missing case and psu in your build

 

For serious job i would go for a ECC-enabled system and ECC memory.

 

A good advice -> physical HDD's which should host the drives for VM should be outside of the unRaid Array.
