Which CPU and Motherboard?


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I am looking at building a UnRaid server and am looking at recommendations for the CPU, Motherboard and amount of memory.

 

I will be using the server as a media server with the following dockers. Sabnzbd, Sonarr, Radarr and Plex. I will not be using virtual machines.

 

The plex will not be used for transcoding as I have an Apple ecosystem and use Infuse Pro as my media server and transcoding is done on my Apple TV hardware, instead of plex ....Plex is only used for syncing and metadata.

 

I will be using 2 parity drives (8TB each) and 4x 8TB media disks.  With SSD's used for the caching and a non-assigned disk for my AppData. I already have a LSI 8i so amount of SATA on the board is not an issue.

 

There will also be a small share which I use for various backups..

 

Cheers
