Insanittyx

I really appreciate the help. I'll look into the parts list and try to estimate the cost in Europe. Just one more question—thinking about power efficiency, should I go for an AMD CPU with integrated graphics? And if I want to start using Plex later, should I add a separate GPU?

I'm planning to use the nas server mostly for storage and to host atleast two apps. Immich like a mentioned before and homeassistent when it comes available. I'm currently running homeassistent on a raspberry pi with a ssd. My budget is around the 500 euros, but is not the maximum. If newer components are worth it 750 is also possible. My home network speed is 1 GB/s. I currently have 1 TB of storage files, i think 8 TB of storage will be enough. I'd like to be able to use jellyfin or plex in the future, but not right away. The case should not be too large, I prefer a case that is laying flat (don't know the case type 🙈). Power efficiency is important.

I'm also wanting to build my own nas server, but still don't know what to buy. Some say buy new components and some say buy used. I would like to use the nas to host immich, is it recommended to have atleast 2 ssd for this and would i need m2 or just sata?
