IMO at least, this is one of the few clear places that Intel is easily the best choice - any intel system since coffee lake and newer is about as good as it gets as far as bang-for-buck when it comes to a plex server. I concur with above - since you're running Intel, that iGPU is about all anyone could ask for when it comes to plex transcoding. I wouldn't expect anything in the short term tbh - this entire GPU generation has been such a friggin heartache for so many folks, I wouldn't expect anything until either the next gen, or if we're lucky, the super refresh. It's still a WIP - you can follow the dev work on it here: Plex for those interested is currently filled with about the following:īTW - anyone know if the RTX 3060 XC 12GB can be unlocked for unlimited transcoding sessions? Tried in past unsuccessfully and wasn't sure if things had changed since earlier in the year. Sorry in advance for picture quality/glare - think my phone's camera lens just recently cracked or was scratched.Īnd for the record these Ironwolf Pro HDDs are super quiet! Has high entry price for these drives but well worth price for the warranty and data recovery should I need it. Just wish the HBA card was black too vs that green. Tried to do my best at cable management without going extreme with custom cables or loads of zip ties - just stuck to what they included as part of the case for straps. Not sure how it takes before I have this 7th drive nearing full and needing a 8th for 72TB usable and just hope it happens after HDD prices come back down to reality since these babies aren't cheap! Now here we are in October and I am waiting for the estimated 12 hour disk clear to finish on the 7th 12TB Ironwolf Pro giving me a total usable space of 60TB. In June I was ordering a 6th 12TB Ironwolf Pro and couldn't believe I was getting such a high usage % (trying to keep under 80% on all data disks) of the original HDDs so quickly.
It started with 5x12TB Ironwolf Pros (2 parity, 3 data) and never thought I could realistically fill that despite ambitions of grandeur to build most immense 4K library assembled anywhere. In April the 14TB drive was getting full and when they released the 11th gen Intel CPUs I pulled trigger and built my first UNRAID. So what started my Plex adventures out using an 8TB external HDD that I had plugged into my first Shield TV Pro which I figured I would never be able to fill up which slowly became a 10TB external HDD and then a 14TB external HDD.
