One thing I'm considering adding is an SSD for Plex's transcode storage as the motherboard has an open 6Gbps port and I have a spare 240GB SSD. I am also considering spinning up a FreeNAS VM and passing the 3TB drives through to it for RAIDZ, as the performance should be much better than Storage spaces. The 10k SAS drives will store VHDXs and the 3x3TB (storage spaces parity for 6TB usable) will host ISOs and misc system-setup-related utilities. Select the Plex Media Server plugin (or Plex Media Server (PlexPass) if you have a paid license). It will also function as a Hyper-V host for other VMs. The whitebox will run Plex natively in server 2016 (not in a VM) as I need the Quadro accessible for GPU encode. This will include ~20TB of media storage which Plex will need to access. I intend to run the R710 as a FreeNAS box, 12x4TB in RAIDZ2 for 40TB usable capacity. What will you be doing with this PC Be as specific as possible, and.

Storage: 12x300GB 10k SAS, 3x3TB HDD (internal) Storage: SA120 with 12x4TB HDD attached to Server 1 Wanted to see if anything is critically wrong with my plan.
