Hi,

 

I am looking at purchasing the following items for an Unraid build to replace my QNAP device.  I think I have everything covered but would like to check I haven't overlooked anything and that the hardware chosen will work well with Unraid.

 

Case: 4U 24x 6Gb/s SATA / SAS

PSU: Corsair HW1200

CPU: TR 2920x

Mobo: Aorus X399 Pro

Cooler: Wraith Ripper

RAM: 128GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16) DDR4 3200 MHz C16 XMP 2.0

HBA: Broadcom SAS 9305-24i

Cache: 2x M.2 NVME 1TB SSD

Parity: 2x WD 8TB (Drives to be removed from WD Essentials external units)

Storage: 4x WD 8TB as above + 8x WD RED 4TB NAS removed from the QNAP + 6x 2TB Seagate for Specific VM use

Misc: AMD RX570 8GB for VM use, Nvidia 1060 6GB for Plex use.

 

The system will be used for storage, Plex, Various VM's and Dockers.

 

Anything that I have missed or need to be concerned about?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Andy

I remember a number of posts about the RX570 not cooperating with passthrough so you might run into problems with that. Depending on how things play out, you might want to budget for another GPU just in case.

Thanks for the heads up.  I already own the RX570 so I will give it a try and see what happens.  If it doesn't work it won't be the end of the world as I can get by with RDP or VNC.
