Once drives are added check the box at the bottom and format the drives since they will say they are 'Unmountable: No file system'. so it's best to stop your current dockers before invoking the Mover. To the current data to the cache, click ' Move Now' at the bottom of the 'Main' page that will invoke the Mover. Stop your dockers / VMs in case you have any running. system, domains share to Cache = Prefer. Add your NVME M.2 under Cache Devices ( format if needed). Assign Parity Drive (Must be as large as your biggest Data Drive). #Unraid setup cache drive trial#
A trial key isn't needed for this so this can be done on any computer or laptop.)
Preclear any new drives (10TB drives could take 1-2 days. #Unraid setup cache drive install#
Install community Plugins (paste into URL address bar in the install plugin section). You can enter in the browser either the IP Address or the Server name (Http://Tower). Once booted up, it should display a .x IP Address. Reboot and set BOOT to the flash drive in the BIOS. Click 'Customize' to give your Unraid server a name. Open the USB Creator to set up Unraid on your flash drive (1GB minimum to Max 32GB). I'm going to give TrueNAS Scale a test and see if that might also be a good fit, but I'll be suprised if it can replace Unraid.Unraid Official Wiki For more 1 on 1 help Click here Steps to Setup for initial setup Nvidia Quadro P400 for Plex stream transcoding. Supermicro AOC-SLG3-2M2 PCIe Add-On Card (Bifurcated). I had an old Silerstone TJ08 lying around, and even after I searched hard for a better mATX case I still ended up using it. You can setup things like usenet and torrent dockers that route all traffic over vpns, or get plex with hardware transcoding working It is trivial to get so many different docker apps working and they can be spun up and down in seconds. The main draw to Unraid is the docker and plugin ecosystem, and getting to use more of your hard drive space I have a 1TB NVME drive as cache backed by 3 x 10TB SAS drives, and performance is perfectly fine for network shares, and Plex etc. I have it connected via 10G to my network and directly to my workstation at 40G using a cheap Mellanox CX3 card I recently tested just about everything out there to see what would work best as a home NAS for me and I settled on Unraid. 
Thoughts on all this, is unRAID the way to go? My initial plan was to go with TrueNAS but the more I look at it the more it looks like the FreeBSD base of it are going to be a real limitation if you want to use it for more than just a NAS which has lead me to unRAID.

For Plex I'd like setup Plex live TV and and use it as DVR with a Hauppauge QuadHD or something similar. I don't have any high performance expectations for the NAS side of things as I only have 1GB networking in my house but I'm guessing the S3500 as a cache drive should scale pretty well into the future of 10GB networking.
Maybe a couple of VMs and I'm sure I'll play around with Docker containers but probably nothing too intensive. The goal of this NAS will be a Plex media server, and general file storage and backup location. So far I have a Xeon E3-1245 v6, Supermicro X11SSH, LSI 9207-8i HBA, 8 3TB Seagate Constellation SAS drives, 800GB Intel DC S3500 SDD, and an 8 hot swap bay iStar 2U chassis. I've been collecting a bunch of hardware for over a year now to put together a home NAS.
