September 29, 20205 yr Hi I am new here, and want to build my first Unraid server. Mostly from some spare parts. I will use 6 x 4tb nas Seagate IronWolf disks (2 is parity) and 2x500 gb samsung ssd as cache.... I got an i5-4460 Processor and a Fatal1ty Z97 Killer motherboard laying around. Think to use 16 gb ram. Will use it as a fileserver and vm windows 7. Will that be good enough? Regards Gartner Edited September 30, 20205 yr by gartner
September 30, 20205 yr Hi there, it should be enough, I'm currently running Unraid for vms (windows desktop and linux server) , dockers, plex, music, fileserver and so far it worked well with this config : i5-3570K (but non OC) 16 Go DDR3 Gigabyte Z77-D3H SATA2 kind make this slow when I transfer big data but it works so I see no problem with your configuration

October 3, 20205 yr Author Hi and thanks for answering me. I found myself an i7-4790K for free, so I will use that. Hoping it will be enough for my project. Regards Gartner

Regards Gartner The i7 is a better solution but be carefull - don't overclock the CPU or RAM. Edited October 8, 20205 yr by Zonediver
