May 4, 20206 yr Hi together,  I am new to the forum and also to UnRAID. I've read a lot and planning my setup for a decent time now. At the moment I'm struggeling which is the best disk setup for my case / what I should buy. Could you please comment on this 😉  This is my current plan: 1x 10TB WD Red: Parity 3x 10TB WD Red: Array 1x 1 or 2 TB SanDisk Extreme Pro M.2 NVMe 3D PCIe: Cache *1x 256GB Intel 600P M.2 NVMe PCIe: Docker containers *1x 1TB Samsung 860 EVO SATA: VMs *1x 500GB Samsung 840 EVO SATA: Plex  *drives I already own  First of all, would you recommend moving Docker containers, VMs, Plex to its own SSD drives or is it not necessary in regards of performance? I was also thinking about getting 1 or 2 more of the SanDisk Extremes like the one above and replace it with one of the other SSDs. I plan to have the SSDs as unassigned devices in UnRAID and give the applications above the performance they need. The MB I'm going to buy has 8 SATA ports, 1 M.2 slot and 10GBit network natively. So this won't be the bottleneck.  My use case: - array stores mainly backup and media (also for Plex) - want good performance for Plex (transcoding) - need large cache as I edit photos and videos from time to time with folder sizes of 50-200GB - around 10 docker containers (for now) - aim on having 1-3 VMs active, depends on the situation - future project: move my GPU to the server and use a VM with GPU passthrough for gaming 😎  Thanks in advance! 🤗
