I am also new to this. My understanding is these slower SMR drives work well in unraid because you have a cache drive (SSD). Files get transferred to the SSD then the files get copied to the other drives. I bought this raid controller so I can run 8 drives. Make sure it is in IT mode.
If you want to run plex you need an Nvidia GPU. GTX series GPU's will only do 2 streams but you can patch them to do more. A GTX 1050ti will go up to 15 when patched.
I also plan or running somthing like nextcloud so i can access my files from anywhere.
