Hi everyone,
My first UNRAID build has failed after 8 years of loyal service. I’m looking to replace it with something a bit more power efficient and quiet.
This is strictly a Media / File Server, possibly with a couple of Dockers / Plex, but no VMs or anything demanding. Most of the time it will simply feed media around the house. I don’t anticipate any serious transcoding, but a couple of PLEX streams will be the likely maximum needed.
My existing HDDs are still fit for purpose, and will number about 6/7 drives in the end, all 5400 rpm models.
Desired build:
CPU : Pentium G4560
Motherboard: MSI B250M Artic Micro ATX
PSU: Corsair 450W 80+ Platinum SFX
RAM: 8gb Corsair Vengeance DDR4-2133
Case: Fractal Node 804
Cache drive: Intel SSD 660p NVMe 500gb
Does all that seem reasonably appropriate for a basic media server feding PLEX?
Grateful for any thoughts / constructive criticism!!
Many thanks
Andrew
