New to the site and just starting my research for a home media server build. Currently using a Synology DS1019+ and have had a handful of issues with it. Currently dealing with a volume crash which has me looking in to building a server and moving away from the synology. End goal is to run unraid, plex (6-8 1080p transcodes), darr’s, a couple of VM’s (W10 and OSX if possible) and store media. I have built a couple of PC’s in the past so I have some experience but will be reading a lot to try and figure out the best solution for my needs. If you have built something for similar use I would love to hear about your build.
Thanks
