Win10 VM for 3D rendering via unRaid ?

[em_lab]

Hi recently i discover this video from LTT channel 

showing a solution to virtualize Windows 10 via Unraid.

 

My pc at home its a i6800k + 64Gb Ram + GTX1070 8Gb vram..

i use this PC for rendering archiviz 3d stuff

but i need to have some NAS functionalities to access from the office

without loosing 3d power..

also i need a solid system to avoid unexpected errors 

 

so i would like to ask if this solution about installing unraid then a VM of win10 

its a practical solution... and if it could reduce the 3d performance of my machine.. 

 

 

Thanks a lot

Why not just leave windows 10 on the hardware, and make a network share in windows? You can easily make a network share in windows under folder properties.

 

You can also use storage spaces to manage raid if you want to use multiple disks.

Well i would like to have access to my files from the internet... Not only from my local network.

Thats the point

What protocols do you want to use? 

 

Id probalby setup a vpn between the networks, and then use the sharing with smb over the vpn. Pretty easy to setup, secure, and reasonble speed.

FTP would be fine 

Something similar to a nas

 

Ill look for the vpn documentation

Yea you can easily add a ftp server to windows, id advoid ftp due to the lack of security, scp is better, or use sftp atleast.
