Build’s Name: Goodbye QNAP, Goodbye paycheck.. Errr, Hello Freedom and Performance!
Operating System/ Storage Platform: unRAID
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2620 V4
Cooler: NH-U9DXi4
Motherboard: Supermicro MBD-X10SRL-F
Chassis: Supermicro 846 w/ 920 SQ's
Drives:
RAM: Samsung DDR4 2133MHzCL15 16GB
Usage Profile: The main use I have for a server today is PLEX. I'd like to increase the size and performance of my Plex Server. In addition, I serve up all of our family NAS functions like pictures and home videos. I'd like to make sure that the server can do that as well as handle some transcoding duties as I move the library from outdated formats to MP4, and eventuall AV1. Finally, I would really like to incorporate an NVR into my system. I'd be open to getting something like UNIFI NVR Appliance and just save to the NAS, it probably makes more sense for me to consolidate onto my new server.
I'm really looking forward to starting this build, and I welcome any feedback from all of you that have done projects like this before.
Thank you!
