NAS or RAID for Plex server? (alien.top)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'm relatively experienced with esxi and trying to figure out the best way to set up a Plex server. To preface, I'm extremely inexperienced with networking and have a bare surface level grasp of the topics. I currently have 10 drives set up with a hardware RAID controller on RAID6 and I'm confused where to go from here. Is it possible to create a VM with TrueNAS that uses the RAID6 array or would it just be better to have the Plex server VM use the RAID6 array directly?

I've read some things that TrueNAS should have its own hardware controller or something? I have no idea.. lost in the infinite ocean of forums spitting jargon. Please try to keep it on the simpler side.
