Utilizing standards based DLNA technology Plex offers out of the box support by nearly all network enabled televisions and media devices. Like a Drobo, Plex does not require advanced IT knowledge to configure and interface with the devices. This not only provides significantly increased throughput supporting multiple simultaneous streams, but ensures that data is stored in a redundant manner protecting content from data loss due to a hard drive failure. With support for streaming music, high definition video, and photo sharing, Plex is an excellent way to centralize and share all of your rich media content on a Drobo. Is spending extra $100 worth it? What advantages would I have with the Xeon build, what disadvantages? I've only built gaming PCs up to now so I have no experience with Xeon CPUs at all.Plex is a media management system that takes your entire collection of movies, music, and photos making them available to all media devices in the connected home.
Note that the Xeon build is actually ~$100 more expensive than the first one where I'm located. Also, it features ECC RAM which I read is better for critical applications (but not necessary for a media server). This - is the second build, with an E3-1245v5 on an MBD-X11SSM. Is that motherboard even compatible with unRAID? According to wiki, some Gigabyte ones aren't. This is the first build - featuring an i7 6700 on a GA-Z170M-D3H. I have two almost final builds (I think), but I am not sure which one would offer more advantages. It will feature no more than 8x 4TB HDDs including parity drive/s (but I will start with less) and 2x SSDs as cache drives.
I'm planning to build a dedicated Plex server running on unRAID.
