How bad could it be?


Recommended Posts

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

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

Should be ok so far. The CPU only has four cores. For VMs a little bit but ok.

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.

The i7 is a better solution but be carefull - don't overclock the CPU or RAM.
