Hello. I’m looking at building a new UnRAID server, to replace my current SAN, an old HP P4300g2, that I have outgrown. The box will mainly handle Plex streams, 3-5 at a time, and ideally be able to handle 4K transcodes as well. Additionally, it will host a file server as well. I have another server currently acting as a hypervisor for my Windows and Linux VMs, so I don’t need to host any VMs on it.
I would like something commercial grade, vs a self build with consumer grade parts. I’m thinking a used Supermicro or Dell box, but I’m looking for advice on what would work the best.
Thank you.
