Thanks for the insight!

Lol sorry to feed the fire. just as curious as the general importance. I get he may be a big name but does that really affect the brand strength as much as the article would make seem.

Much in the same boat. Don't know too much about him and would like some explanation of the importance of him switching. Gonna see if I can find another forum thread or some news/videos explaining the importance.

Dude it seems like you're trolling with how hard you are reacting to this. The guy just made an assumption based on a title about someone he said he didn't know that much about. Take a chill pill.

Oooo! Thank you for more pointers on this! Fans were to beef up the rad more lol so even more reason to switch to just a nice air cooler Especially since I have no issues with acoustics, Anything will be better than my 95+ DB dying system anyways. I thought Pro was needed for RAID hence its inclusion, but if I moving away from that anyways even more reason to go home.

ahhh okay then i could go a little more spendy on a nice 4tb ssd and put saved money towards the nas. Something like a Samsung 860 Evo/Pro or another Patriot 100VPN?

Ah okay, the reason towards leaning/looking into a RAID card was pretty much all the literature/general conversation stating it would be better for write speeds and safer in the case of failures. I would still want RAID cards in future projects like the NAS? Where I would be looking at like 100TB of storage across 12+ drives, right?

Working off that info, in the effort to keep prices slightly down would 4 2TB SSDs work for the RAID 10 and could you explain more on what you mean by Storage Spaces? Would that mean no Controller Card? Would I still have increased reliability over an OS/Software RAID?

Budget (including currency): USD Preferred Range 1800-2000| Hard Cap 2500 Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Non-Games: Fusion 360; SolidWorks; Blender; Premier Pro and other Adobe Creative Cloud Products; PrusaSlicer, Simplify 3D, Cura Games: RuneScape; SC2; Civ 6; Stellaris | Upcoming: Star Citizen(Maybe lol) and Chronicles of Elyria Expected Build Time-Frame: Late August 2020; potentially waiting slightly longer to allow for new product releases / price drops due to new product releases. Other details : Background: I just want to start out by saying I totally understand that gaming and editing machines don’t mix well. While I would want to maintain the ability to game comfortably, you’ll note from the games I play that it is not as primary of a feature of what I would like to accomplish with this. I currently use a 4-display setup with 2 being 1920x1080 and 2 being 3840 x 2160 I do not remember the models as I am cross country currently from my setup. 4k gaming is not very important to me but would be nice to do as currently I can still only go up to 1080 in games even on the 4k monitors due to the lack of strength in the current system. The primary intent of this machine will to create an editing/production machine for creating video and editing 3D files for content creation and 3D Printing. Videos will be working with 4k 60 FPS RAW and exporting in 1080 Primarily and 4k if possible. I am generally happy with the build below but would like general feedback/constructive criticism and help on the local storage solution: To the actual point of the post: I would like to ensure local redundancy with RAID as I have had drives fail in the past and while data was recovered or backed up externally, it was a headache to get up and running again with any type of speed. I will be getting a NAS in the future (Q1 2021) and have plenty of external storage right now to hold me over until that point. In the list I intend to us the M.2 for a boot and main program drive; and the HDDs in RAID 6 to allow 4 TB of usable space with two redundancy. As I have found again and again hardware RAID is recommended over software and is essentially necessary for RAID 6. However, I worry about write speeds with RAID 6 especially since I am having a hard time vetting a RAID controller as much of the information seems to be older. The Questions: What RAID controller would those with the knowledge recommend? Is RAID 6 overkill in a local machine? Is it even possible? Does AMD hinder this in any way and should I look to Intel?
