January 26, 20197 yr Hey, I‘m thinking about creating my first ever unraid build. After watching plenty videos and reading a lot from the documentation, I think I understand the main configurations and setup. Now is the time to really get started creating the pc. Thats where I’m not sure, if all parts will work. Can anybody check the list I already put together and tell me if something wouldn’t work or should be replaced performance wise? My main usage would be running a NAS, Ubuntu 18.04 server, Development Webserver & 1 or 2 VM running windows 10 The list: - Intel Core i9 9900k - Asus ROG Strix z390-I Gaming - 2x Seagate barracuda 2TB - Corsair crystal 280x RGB - Corsair h100i RGB Platinum SE - 2x Corsair ll120 RGB Led white - Corsair vengeance rgb pro 32gb (2x 16gb) 2666mhz - Corsair rm580x - Samsung 970 Evo 500gb for the gpu, I’m not sure yet. Maybe I’ll buy a new one or take the old asus strix 1080 from my main configuration. I hope anyone can help me with checking if everything will support unraid. Thanks! - Tjeu AKA Athyk
January 26, 20197 yr Author I think I posted this in the wrong topic, can any moderator move this post to the appropiate topic? Sorry for the inconvenience.
January 26, 20197 yr Community Expert I'm fine with it right here. Personally I would go for larger HDDs if you expect your storage requirements to grow. I always recommend fewer larger disks rather than more smaller disks because fewer disks means fewer opportunities for problems, and larger disks typically have a slight performance advantage due to increased density.
January 26, 20197 yr Author @trurl Alright, thank you. That's true, didn't thought about it that way. I will consider switching the 2TB disks to 4 or 8TB, thanks for your feedback
