Sorry for not replying been busy. I’ll give what jkirk a try and see what happens. I do not use radarr or sonarr. @Mihle yes that’s what I did. The only thing I’ve done in the meantime was I updated the Plex docker. Already tried rolling back to the previous version I was using and it did not fix the issue. Thanks for the replies.

I have used this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Y2MYK4N/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it worked fine for me and got me full speeds. I can not say if it truly was WIFI6 as my home network is not WIFI6 but it did the job for the build I put together and sold. It used Intel drivers if that matters for anything and the bluetooth worked fine as well. The bluetooth has to be connected to a USB 2.0 header on the motherboard so make sure you have an extra one available or you have to route it outside your case with an adapter that converts to a USB A connector. I would read the Amazon reviews and go from there.

Hopefully this makes sense, if not I can try to clarify more. When I add content to my Unraid server I usually just add it through the Windows Explorer. I do this for Plex mostly. I used to access my Plex Media share and it would show all my movies, tv shows, music etc in Windows Explorer (not by disk just as a whole). When I access the Plex Media share now it does not show any folders or files. I can still play the files from Plex no problem so they do exist on my server still. I installed the Dolphin Docker to investigate as best I could. What I found is all my files are in fact still there. When I go to add media to it, it puts it on disk3 (not an issue). I have Unraid setup as High Water for where it puts the files. So when I navigate to each disk, I can see the Plex Media folder all my movies and tv shows that are on that particular disk. So I believe my share that I am seeing on Windows Explorer is from this path root->mnt->user->Plex Media since there are no files or folders there. Is there a setting I am missing to fix this? When I look at the share through Unraid it also shows nothing and I have it set to include all disks. EDIT: Just to add some more info when I copy items to my Plex Media share it puts it in the root of Plex Media on disk3, I can not put it in my TV Shows or Movie folder for example. I can workaround it for now with Dolphin and move it to whichever disk but I liked having Unraid do this for me.

The stuck in neutral comment was more about Intel vs AMD when Intel got stuck from now competition from AMD. Don’t want AMD to fall into that. Which I don’t think they will as they still want that market share.

Haha. I’m just glad to see competition happening again for GPUs. If only Intel can get into gear. Don’t want AMD to get complacent like Intel did because the other guy is stuck in neutral.

I should have clarified that the GT 710 is just to use as a video adapter for UnRaid. I was still undecided about running Plex in a VM or not and know that you can’t pass the GPU to the VM you use for UnRaid. I got one free so that’s why I mentioned it. The 1060 6GB is what will reside in it permanently. Might end up being a 1070 if I upgrade my 1080 Ti and give it to my wife.

I was looking and still think they are gonna be a tad out of the budget. However I do think I’m gonna grab some 8TB ones to shuck. I can get them for $20 less than the 6TB ones I picked.

I could swing those but I like the idea of having drives that are made to be running near 24/7. I’ve had some bad luck with external drives in the past year as well which is the other reason I’ve been leaning towards a server build. I almost lost my entire original Xbox ISO collection, I had it all backed up to Mega however was able to redownload since my DVD drive on the Xbox is on its last legs for ripping discs.

I can’t quite swing the 12TB without needing a divorce lawyer as well lol. I’m only going to be buying 3 of the 6TB to start with and adding more as funds allow. Thanks for the reply!

I’ve been lurking the forums here without ever making a post till just a minute ago so I figured I might wanna introduce myself. I’m 26 years old and from the US. My username has nothing to do with a catch22 but rather my position I played for baseball and my 2 favorite uniform numbers I had. Some of you may recognize my name from the now dead TIZ forums. It was there that I was introduced to actual PC gaming and not just Windows 95 solitaire and free cell (well I did play the heck out of Dangerous Dave) I love building computers and modding “retro consoles”. My favorite console to mod is the original Xbox or the PSP. I make my own PS1 modchips still. I used to be a collector of the old consoles but between no time and limited space, I’ve sold off most of the consoles and emulate the games.

I’ve been wanting to do a server build for Plex and to host a Minecraft server for the past 2 years and money never quite lined up. Well now it’s starting too but I still don’t wanna go too over the top. My part list I am thinking of going with is this. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/catch2030/saved/89Cnt6 I have the case and cpu already. The motherboard and GPU price is from some used sales I have seen locally. The GPU would be for Plex transcoding (gonna use a gt 710 or whatever I find for cheap for initial setup) at mostly 1080p with some 4K here and there for our favorite movies. The SSD would be a cache drive as I do plan on backing up my fathers and my YouTube videos to the server down the road (when I’m able to splurge for a rack mount). My main questions are: Should I use a docker for Plex and the Minecraft server or run them in a Windows VM? Is the cache drive something I would benefit from? I have set up both a Plex server and Minecraft server on my personal rig but I want something I can leave on (my wife’s young cousins play on the Minecraft server) and not have to worry about my custom loop springing a leak. Any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
