Hello! I’m looking for a bit of guidance and I’m hopeful the community can point me in the right direction. I am moving away from an old Plex setup with Gen8 HPE Microserver running ESXi to a NAS-centric media server. I was looking at just running things like Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, NZBGet, maybe UniFi controller as dockers versus VMs.
I’ve been looking at the TrueNAS Mini-X+, 8 core 64GB RAM, 2xSFP+, populate the five 3.5" drives with 22TB drives. I’m unsure of what to do with the 2.5" bays - would I be better suited to put SSDs in or elect to get the Read and Write cache, based on my use case which is predominately, a Plex media center.
Is there something that I’m not considering as to why I would want to avoid the pre-configured chassis and drives from TrueNAS? Is this something that someone else out there has already done and I can follow your lead?
Thanks!
Brian
