Hello,

 

I search new perfect, stable Hardware for my unRAID OS:

 

What do you think about this:

• Intel Pentium G4620, 2x 3.70GHz, boxed
• MSI C236M
• Crucial 8GB, DDR4-2400, CL17, ECC (CT8G4WFS824A)
• 5 x WD Red 3TB (WDC WD30EFRX-68EUZN0)
• Intel 10Gbit NIC
• USB Stick: SanDisk_Ultra_USB_3.0 16GB

 

(Have unRAID Plus licence)

 

Sentence:

- FTP with Mixplorer Android App

- Movies storage

- Play movies with libreelec OS on Raspberry Pi

- ControlR App

- WOL for wake up

- VM testing..

 

thanks for your help.

 

best regards

I'm not sure your choice of board is a good one - it looks like the basic PC MATE board with a different chipset.  If you REALLY want ECC, then go for it, but I think ECC is pretty pointless.

 

The board also has a RealTek NIC which isn't exactly server level, but I see you're using a 10Gb NIC so that shouldn't be an issue.  Finally, there's no M.2 slot for a SSD.

 

Personally I'd skip the ECC and the C236 chipset and go with something a little cheaper.  A B250 board is fine, and you can get those with an Intel NIC which would likely be more stable if you have to use the 1Gb NIC.

 

I'd go with this board instead:

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/PRIME-B250M-C/

 

Built for 24/7 use, has an Intel NIC, and also has two M.2 slot for a SSD cache without using up a SATA port.

As for VM testing, I would upgrade CPU to have at least 4 cores and adding more memory, 16 GB or more
