Nas build requirements: I'm wanting to replace my old and slow QNAP for something that is a bit faster.. Specifically I want to use it mostly as a storage device.. I plan on storing 50mb photos and editing them from lightroom. I also plan on editing 2k footage from the device. Further more, I want to be able to transcode to my mobile. Mostly 1080p footage. I will also use it to stream at home. I'd also like to run the following containers, maybe more, maybe less... This is just a quick on the fly guestimate. Plex Sonarr Radarr Lidarr Lychee OpenVPN Home Assistant Maybe some more further down the line Parts being considered: Xeon E3-1230L V3 4x8gb ddr3 pc3-12800e SU720 adata cache SSD Supermicro X10SLM±F (10Gig NIC I don't know what one to pick) (Excluded in budget) 2X 14tb NAS DRIVES WD reds (Excluded in budget) 3x 4tb Old repurposed seagates (Excluded in budget) 4X 8tb WD reds (Excluded in budget) Case is not relevant Gold/Platinum PSU (Want low cost operation, hence platinum) Cooler is not relevant I'd not want to spend more than 500 tops. The PSU might make that difficult, but I may stretch to cover that What do you all think of such a build? What could I change, what else should I consider? I've been planning this for months and can't really conclude the build...
