On a real machine, normally, os drivers will normally talk to hardware using memory mapped io. In reality, software on the host/unraid/kvm/qemu will be processing and translating what the windows/guest os drivers are asking for. windows will think and act like it’s talking to real hardware. Network somewhere, or it might compute the contents and substitute it in reply, the guest OS e.g.
KVM (using something called QEMU and virtio) will emulate hardware, so when uefi looks for disks, it’ll get a file or one /two/three partitions or even something that might be ona
It’ll copy a “fake?” UEFI in there, and it’ll run it. Unraid (it’s using Linux/KVM underneath) will reserve some ram, let’s 8G. How does the hardware work with accessing widows on a separate drive from the unraid os? With my current hardware specs (aside from case and HDD changes), what are my best options to accomplish this? Is virtualization necessary or better? Is a software solution better than hardware RAID? Thanks in advance. I’ve built a couple of PCs and am comfortable with Windows 10, but virtualization, alternative OS, and RAID (hardware or software) are all foreign to me. Researching related forum topics has brought about many unfamiliar topics such as VMs, Linux, unraid, freenas, etc. I want to incorporate >20tb NAS with redundancy capabilities to this system. I now know Intel would have been a better solution for both Plex and BI, but live and learn.
Plex typically runs 2-3 direct play streams, with occasional stream recording and single remote transcoding.
#Plex operating systems 1080p
BI runs two 1080p 2MP cameras, recording on activation only. Currently it is dedicated to Plex and Blue Iris duties. Win 10 on 500gb WD m.2, with WD Purple 4tb and WD Red 4tb for storage. Right now my setup is as follows: Ryzen 5 2400g, Asrock b450 Steel Legend matx, Noctua NH-L12s, 16gb Corsair 3200, Seasonic Focus Gold 450w PSU, all in a Silverstone ML03 HTPC case. I’m looking to add storage space and NAS capabilities to my server PC.
