Hello i have a server with an xeon e5-2695 v4 18cores/36 threads, now
i am with 32GB of ram but the full setup will be at 64gb.

i need some tips for my setup

​

* i am planning to have a gpu for transcoding and may play some remote
games (very old games). i need it to be a low consumption board
because of the power supply i am using a 400w +-75% efficiency.

1. quadro p400 or p600 (2GB)
2. nvidia 1050ti 4GB
3. ati rx 550

​

* i used open media vault in the past, but i may change to freenas or
unraid. I have 5 8tb ironwolf drivers, and i will buy another 3 in the
future totalling 8 x 8tb. I am planning to use raid 10
   * its possible to add new drivers to the array? ive done that in
omv before, if i use zfs can i add a new hdd to the array without
loosing data?
   * i would install portainer in a lxc or vm inside proxmox, i was
going to avoid installing in nas OS.
   * i saw that unraid have a hybrid array instead of the zfs, but i
didnt undesrtand it at all.
