July 26, 20241 yr Budget: no limit Drives: 5–8 SATA and max. 2 SSD Expandability: no GPU Use case: Data backup (especially for work) Plex (including hardware transcoding) Various Docker containers (including Nextcloud, a Moodle instance) Hard drives 1 x 18 TB Parity 4 x 18 TB data (films/series/music) Hardware: Case: Fractal Design Meshify 2 Gray TG Light Tint MB: ASRock Z790 Pro RS As I've read here, it should be possible to get good c states with the ASRock boards - with a little adjustment. CPU: Intel Core i5 12500 CPU fan: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5 Power supply: Seasonic Prime Fanless PX-500 500W RAM: Corsair Vengeance DIMM Kit 64GB, DDR5-5200 (2x32GB) Other: 3 x Type B, white, double pack FD-A-TRAY-002 + Seagate IronWolf Pro | 18TB hard drive as parity (all other drives are already there) + unRAID license Does that make sense? If I add it all up, I arrive at a hardware price (including unRAID license) of around 1200 euros. I should get around 500 euros for my current Synology server. That actually seems legitimate to me. I'm just not really sure about the power supply... Edited July 26, 20241 yr by Schiller
