I see, so let's say I was going transcode. Would running a VM to live stream with OBS on the same system even be doable or worth it? Or would they kind of fight each other for network traffic and hardware performance?

I'm new to NASs so thanks for your reply! So running that VM should theoretically be no problem?

Here are my current PC specs CPU: 4790K (OC'd to 4.5 GHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S GPU: EVGA GTX 980 SC RAM: 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3 2133 MHZ Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 7 SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB PSU: Thermaltake TR2 600W (My EVGA fully modular PSU died on me like 6 months ago) If I were to build a new gaming PC, how good would my current hardware (with additional drives) be if I converted it into a NAS for media storage and a PLEX server using UNRAID? Also in addition to that would setting up a Windows VM to live stream to twitch or mixer be possible?
