I would like to build a 10GbE-capable system, primarily for ZFS JBOD (Yes, I know, no protection, but it's the nature of my data and desire to offload drives), possibly on Hyper-V (unsupported I know). I may try to run a couple of the following plugins as well: ClamAV, ZoneMinder, Open Speed Test, UnifiController, SickChill, Paperless-ngx, Guacamole, Graylog, Grafana, Frigate, etc. so a reasonable CPU is prudent.
I have done much research and searching, but I clearly do not know every caveat with the options below. Your thoughts on these build options?
Thanks in advance for your valued input.
