Thank you for simplifying everything. I want m.2 nvme like Samsung Evo 960. I looked at unraid but never used it. Only ever used vmware, I'm OK with buying a licence providing I can run 2 vm but I'm unshore yet how to build the Nas side of it I've seen a couple of videos but nothing on the scale and in 1 system.
It will be split up and used as
1. Missus* lol work storage(documents, accounts, templates, photos etc)
2.plex server / storage (movies, music, family photos, personal stuff)
3. Camera feed video storage
4.my work/game storage cad ect
So you recommend a xeon chip or i9. What xeon would have 16threads that won't cost a kidney lol I liked threadripper due to being 1k rather 2plus with xeon. I've just bought 4 western digital 4tb Nas drives and Samsung 256gb Evo ssd for boot drive and 2 512gb nvme Samsung 950m.2. Not getting gpu till I find a Christmas sale might save some money as they will burn a nice hole in pocket alone
