November 23, 20196 yr Hi, I'm building my first server and want to run it with unraid, but would first like to check if the build makes sense. CPU: TR 2920X 12 cores 3.5ghz-4.3ghz MOBO: Gigabyte X399 Designare EX GPU: 2x Gigabyte GV-N710D5-2GIL RAM: 64gb (8x8gb) SSD: 2x 2tb M.2 Corsair MP510 HDD: 6x 8tb WD Red Pro I want to use it for two Windows Pro virtualisations (one running Unifi Controller and Unifi Video with 8 cameras), storage/back up server, Plex server and Steam cache server. The two gpus are for the two virtualisations. The ssds are for cache pool. Two hdds are for parity. The hdds I am planning to run on sata3 ports on the motherboard. (or should I run them on pcie card?) Is there stuff that I should improve, overkill, tips?

Leave them on the motherboard. No point in adding extra complexity until the storage requirements demand it. Only thing I do whenever building systems is to always make sure that the memory (and configuration) is listed on the motherboard's QVL list. Minimizes problems that way.
