January 13, 20215 yr I was planning on building a miniature server for my in-laws that's in another state and I was looking for a computer that has a small footprint like a QNAP/synology 2-bay NAS. I was thinking that i could try a QNAP NAS to tinker with but I wanted to check if anyone else has other recommendations. Thanks!

Some other options worth considering: U-NAS Has 2, 4 and 8-drive cases that are fairly compact and take Mini-ITX motherboards. My backup unRAID server is in the popular Fractal Node 304 case which can accommodate up to six drives and a Mini-ITX motherboard.

I would be fine with just 2 drives, so I can keep the footprint small enough. I guess no more than the size of a QNAP TS-2xx or TS-4xx series. That 2-drive U-NAS looks like it'll be perfect! Thank you! Edited January 13, 20215 yr by John Catral
