I'm in the process of updating my Unraid server and looking at one of the options below. My current setup is an X9SCM w/ E3-1280v2 and 32GBs of RAM.
Option 1
CPU: Intel E-2176G (6 cores, 12 threads)
Motherboard: Supermicro X11SCZ-f
Option 2
CPU: 2x Intel E5-2620v3 (12 cores, 24 threads)
Motherboard: Supermicro X10DAi
Option 3
CPU: 2x Intel E5-2696v3 (36 cores, 72 threads)
Motherboard: Supermicro X10DAi
Usage
- Simple file storage and serving files to a bare metal Plex server
- Dockers are Sonarr, Radarr, Nextcloud, Sabnzbd and Unmanic (this is the one that got me thinking about upgrading)
- Currently have 32GBs of RAM and there are a maximum of 16 disk connections (using only one LSI 9211). Would like at least 64GBs of RAM or more.
Besides Unmanic, I've been getting errors on the native FireTV Plex app lately saying that my read rate is too slow to stream and starts buffering whenever the server is doing anything besides being idle. To keep the boss (aka wife) happy I need to fix this before she gets too annoyed.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
