zbron Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 The goal is to use this as a NAS storage server that mostly runs Plex (3 simultaneous transcodes max, 5-7 simultaneous direct play max)/Sonarr/Radarr/Tautulli and some other dockers. I have a few 8TB WD Reds in my current set up - I would also need to figure out how to migrate things over and reformat those drives to add. I guess I should also mention this will be my first custom build. Would appreciate any comments that could either make this a better build, cooler(?), or save me some money.

dee31797 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 That hardware overall should work great for your listed applications. If at all possible I would get 2 sticks of memory for dual channel. For the purposes you listed, you don't need the wired network adapter. Link to comment
