April 4, 20206 yr I've used Unraid for a few months with my old x399 and 2950x prior to upgrading to a 3970x. Same 3x 2080 Ti setup. I had experimented with gentoo and arch as server hosts but neither offered any advantage other than access to newer versions of libvirt and qemu. My only need for Unraid is as an easy to deploy kvm host. To that end it is hard to beat, especially with community plugins. I also tried out multi seated setups for windows (aster) and linux but I was surprised that two virtual machines seem to be much more responsive than a multi seat configuration. No benchmarks to back that up however. The only thing I'd like to see is striped storage for my VMs. I noticed the network psuedo connection is 100Gb so host virtual network operations won't be arbitrarily restrained, like when I used kvm on gentoo. Qemu 5.0 also has direct access to host folders which might be easier than NFS. Anyway I really like the implementation of Unraid. Good work!!
