Abusinq Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Hi, I was planning on using unRAID to run an archival server with 1 VM occasionally used. Would this system be enough for that? CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 (I was thinking of using 3600x or 3600, but I don't have a spare 1600 to flash bios) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition RAM: Corsair Vengaence LPX 16GB (2x8) 3200Mhz CL16 GPU: GTX 650 Ti (Already Owned) Motherboard: ASRock B450 Pro4 PSU: Corsair RM650 Fully Modular 80+ Gold Chassis: Rosewill RSV-R4000 Maybe some Noctua highspeed fans (I wont be hearing it much, as it will be in my basement). My needs: A system that can store approx. 16TB of storage, that is accessed at least one time a day, transfering up to 20gb in one day. A system that can run a windows 10 VM on 4 cores (While leaving the other 2 cores for unRAID, and storing data) Should I change anything out here? Quote
SirReal63 Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 It should work for what you want to do. If the move of 20gb is too slow over the network you can always save to a fast usb hard drive to copy the data and use unassigned devices to move it to the server. It is pretty close to what I am running, I have had no real issues.

Also, where did you find your 1600af? I cant find that thing anywhere, and its always more than $150. Quote
SirReal63 Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Amazon, about a month ago. I see it has gone up, I would not pay that much for it, you can get the R5 2600 for a few dollars more. Quote
