I plan on running freenas primarily as my file server and windows 10 VM for plex, couchpotato, torrent downloader. I know there are jails for all those but they've been broken on me too many times and permissions are always tough on a noob like me. So I was thinking of doing the VM (the hard part will be installing the VM I bet) but once its installed it will be a breeze. My question is how should I allocate ram and cpu's.
cpu: xeon 1220v3 4 cores 4 threads
memory: 16gb ecc ram
hard drives: 3x8TB i believe in raidz1
i have videos with possible up to 3 1080p streams at once.
I guess my two questions for cpu is 2/2 or 1/3 3 being the windows 10 VM? and ram should I allocate 4 gb ram to vm leaving 12gb for freenas?
