UNRAID's non-standard RAID sound good to me. The data I will be backing up is important documents and files (pictures/videos/files), I will be also backing up the data on an external hard drive just incase, but yes the files are very important.

Hey witalit, thanks for the reply, i am looking for a small form factor build and trying to make it as quiet as possible but some fan noise is ok. what raid do you recommend for a nas, i was thinking raid 5 thank You

Hello, Sorry if this is a repeat post, I am new to unraid and never built a server before and need some guidance. I need a nas, 4-6 drives and instead of buying a synology/qnap thought it would be better to build my own using unraid, both to learn and have some fun. I am trying to build a kit list but getting confused with the different motherbord/cpu/ram and wondering if anybody has kit list i can copy. The prime function of the server is for a NAS and will have a couple of virtual machines for plex server/pi hole. I dont think 4k transcoding is a big deal for me, also it will ramp up the cost of the server. I was thinking of getting 4 x 4tb hdd and raiding them to raid 10. Can someone please help with a kit list, trying to keep the cost to around £1000, the lower the better, also getting a low power consumption server is a key requirement. thank you in advance, it is very much appreciated. regards a fellow future unraider
