So this will be my first unraid build. It will be used as a media machine. Will be running dockers for openvpn, Pi-hole, rtorrent, plex (will be transcending most streams) no plans for VMs at the moment.
I'm looking for feedback on the hardware I'm looking at getting, I'm going to low cost Motherboard CPU in favor of larger drives. I have looked over the Ryzen thread.
