I just purchased a dedicated Plex HW box (HP S01) and looking to build a Unraid box to be my Plex NAS, Sonar/Radarr, Home Assistant, and potentially some storage for interior cameras.
I was originally going to use an old Dell T7500 (2x Xeon 5650s, 48GB RAM), but that motherboard doesn’t support SATA III. I’m considering just building a new system based on a i5/i7 CPU.
Another option is to use a AMD 5600X CPU that I have sitting around and build a system around that, but it seems like Intel is the preferred CPU when it comes to Unraid…and I would have to get a GPU for that system.
Thoughts?
