Thanks. I’m fine with with the number of bays. I’ll probably go for 3 8tb 5400rpm and a 7200 for parity then a nvme flash for cache.

I've been following this thread, thanks for the info so far.
I'm going for the ASrock rack E3C246D4U and the Xeon 2244G. I want to use my old fractal design mini case I bought in 2011. Can you see any issues?

I like the look of this motherboard ASRock E3C246D4U but it's hard to get in the UK.

plus the Xeon E-2244G

It's been a while since I've built a server (2011) so quite out of touch on the hardware side of things but I'd like some suggestions on some parts to build a server that will be on 24/7. So I would like it to consume as least power as possible when idle.
It will need to to run a windows 10vm on virtualbox (2cpu, 4gb ram) whilst running plex streams. I don't have to transcode to often as the clients I have usually are able to play the videos in native format but possibly looking for a graphics card for transcoding for mobile devices. Plus apple time machine backup.
Looking to spend around £800
I have a Fractal Design Define Mini Case and an Antec EA-380GREEN 380W EarthWatts Green PSU - 80Plus Bronze already.
I would like the motherboard to have ipmi so I'm thinking and AS rock motherboard?
Before I used an Intel Core i5 2405S, which was a low powered i5 processor do Intel still make S models?
16gb ram
1 ssd for cache
4 x 4tb hdd's.
with the cache option is it possible to say download a large nzb movie file with sabnzbd have it extract to the cache quickly so i can play it straight away in plex then over time it moves to the hdd but maintaining the file paths?
-
I'd like my library on the array but don't mind installing plex on the cache disk. Or does this cause havoc also?
-
after some heave research I've changed my mind!
gonna go for this instead:

thanks for that very helpful!
-
has anyone used this board yet?
thanks.
-
heh, ok i'll take a look at that section. What does L1 and L2 mean?
-
I like the idea of a small case.
At the mo I want to put it in a cupboard but I may in the future use it as an HTPC I'm not sure.
I think 4 bays will be enough for me.
I'm looking at the intel boards with built in atoms on their site but I can't see the power consumption anywhere! Same for asus. I'll keep looking.
I would need one with 4 sata ports or a pci e slot to put in a controller I guess.
-
well I am open to suggestions. I like the mobo combo as it says it uses 18w of power.
what other low power options do i have?
I've shad a look at these:

what would be amd's equivalent?
-
thanks. I did use the search function first but didn't find that faq from it.

This is the first time I've looked into building my own nas. In fact it will be the first time I've custom built a pc!
I'd like it to run plex media server also (started another thread here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=13522.0)
So far here is my kit list:
case: http://www.xcase.co.uk/Chenbro-ES34169-Compact-size-chassis-w-4-Hotswap-p/Case-Chenbro-ES34169.htm
motherboard, cpu, gpu: http://www.ginger6.com/asus-zacate-e35m1m-matx-p-35994.html?G6SID=n29mg21uprlutfeufued5uk6t2
ram: http://www.ginger6.com/kingston-hyperx-2x2gb-memory-1333mhz-ddr3-nonecc-p-40981.html
hdd's probably start with a 2tb wd cavier green
haven't look at a usb yet.
Do those specs look compatible/ok?
I will be wanting to access files from osx and windows.
-
I'm a big fan of plex and a few weeks ago they released a linux version of their media server. I'm about to build my own nas that can also run plex media server.
Has anyone started to use it yet?

Hoopster - so something like this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0083A0BY4/ref=psdc_430499031_t4_B00BF3S83C I've only ever put a fan on a cpu before so I'm just wondering how this would screw in?
