tdallen Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Hello and welcome. I haven't used any of those components, but you ought to be fine. I'd recommend looking at larger hard drives, you should be able to get a better price per TB. The CPU you've selected should be able to handle Plex and some transcoding, but it's not a monster so hopefully you've planned that out. 1 Quote Link to comment
omgitstechno215 Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Thank you @tdallen I will definitely consider the cpu. Do you have any hard drives you would recommend? I usually use wd red but they were a little pricey, but I didn't check the higher TB ones. Quote Link to comment
tdallen Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 The 4TB drives tend to have a better cost per TB than the 3's, and the 8TB drives better still (especially the Seagate Archive drives). If I were building a new server I'd use a WD Red or HGST for parity and Archive drives for data (and folks are using the Archive drives successfully for parity, too). Quote Link to comment
omgitstechno215 Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Ok cool thanks for the help, I'll go back to the drawing board and tweak some things. Quote Link to comment
