Looking for a good Mini-ITX NAS motherboard...


Recommended Posts

I have an Unraid setup currently caseless sitting on top of my printer. Spec will be below. I think I'm going with the Jonsbo N1 NAS case as a chassis, but I need a Mini-ITX AM4 motherboard. Does anyone have any suggestions? I need something relatively budget-friendly and with decent wired networking. If there's a better case that can fit more than 4 drives, I'd love to be in the loop. If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks!

 

Current Specs-

Gigabyte B450M DS3H Micro-ATX Motherboard

Ryzen 3 3200G

Thermaltake Smart 700W ATX PSU

16GB G Skill Aegis Memory

4TB Bulk HDD

6TB Parity HDD

128GB Cache SSD x2

I too had been considering the Jonsbo N1 but given the availability/shipping prices for my region (would have cost as much in shipping as the case itself) and after thinking it out 5 drives seemed a bit limiting I looked around a bit and ended up 3D printing an MK735.

 

Super happy with it.
