February 25, 20206 yr Hey everyone, Long time Unraid user. Currently running on i5-3470 with 16gb of Ram. Box is used for storage and Plex for the most part. I was just given an R720 with Dual X5650's and 96gb of RAM. I know I will lose quicsync, but any reason not to make the switch? I plan on gutting the RAM and CPU from the server and putting it into an EATX case with a supermicro board. Thanks!
February 25, 20206 yr You will lose single thread performance and gain a bunch of cores and RAM. If you don't plan to change the role of the server and add a bunch of other duties, I don't see the point in changing.
