October 6, 20196 yr Hi, I’m not quite sure if this is the correct spot to post this. I just wanted to post the hardware specs that i’m thinking of using, along with what kind of use the server will get at this stage. Hardware: CPU: i7 870 Memory: 8Gb GPU: Something like a GTX 1060 (Will be dedicated to the Plex Docker) SSD Cache Quite a few hard drives OS: UnRaid Machine will have 1 VM running, purely for ripping my dvd collection. No more that 3 concurrent streams. Just after some ideas from anyone with experience with this kind of setup. Thanks in advance.
October 6, 20196 yr Going by the passmark score (5341) you would be pushing the cpu hard transcoding 3 streams and having anything else working in the background
October 6, 20196 yr Author 3 was probably a over estimate. More like 1, very occasionally 2. Wouldn't the GPU be transcoding?

Of course, that would require an optical disk drive in the server. That setup works well for me. I also run MakeMKV from a desktop machine and rip disks directly to the server. 2 hours ago, JT24 said: Wouldn't the GPU be transcoding? Yes, but you would need to install the UnRAID Nvidia plugin
