  1. For my daily gaming rig i use ethernet as well as my laptop at work. But for my personal daily laptop its wifi.....no ethernet jack on these thinner laptops.?
  2. How do the XEON platforms transcode? Im going to try to keep everything 1080p but may some 4k mixed in especially for in home use.
  3. Ill definitely look into a older server platform. Since i wont be using virtualization i think FreeNAS maybe the better option.
  4. I was unaware you could not pass through to a VM with Nvidia desktop cards. That definitely will cause an issue. I guess the best possible option would be an Intel CPU with IGPU set up as a typical NAS?
  5. I don't abandon many projects but I guess i could build separate systems i was just hoping to knock out 2 birds with one stone. I guess i misunderstood RAID. I do under stand to have another physical and or cloud back up as well.
  6. New to the NAS idea here. But what I am looking to do is build a dual purpose NAS with a Ryzen 2700x processor I have. I was planning on running unRAID only for PLEX/NAS use but then i thought i would like this to back up as a second gaming PC during the summer while my son is home and the once in awhile HTPC use. It looks like PLEX trans-coding works better with Nvidia GPU's. So I want to run a GTX 1660 to support the 1080P gaming and also the PLEX trans-coding when I stream to my laptop or phone while traveling. My question is which OS would be best for this? I know I could run unRAID with a VM for the Windows Gaming side but I really do not want to have 2 discreet GPU's (one for VM one for PLEX trans-coding). Can I make all this work on Windows home with some redundancy (like RAID) safety net on all my saved media? TIA for any help insight.
