The other day I securely erased my Synology NAS. Marking the start of my future with HexOS and TrueNAS after a few months of testing.
I went from three mini PC:s and one synology NAS to this:
The pic includes my main gaming rig - the NAS is the black box. The box that now runs all my services including a VM with Windows for certain windows specific tasks.
The NAS specs:
Fractal Node 304 case
Gigabyte A520I AC ITX motherboard
Ryzen 5700G (8C/16 threads)
32GB 3200mhz (memtested 24h)
3x 4TB HDDs (can expand to 6 drives as needed)
GTX 1060 for steam streaming - isolated for the windows VM
PSU 350w (The NAS draws 60w idle)
APC UPS
What’s running:
Transmission
Immich
VPN
Minecraft server
Windows VM (“Steamcache”, streaming and more)
NUT-server (as the UPS is shared with the gaming rig)
Cloud backups
Samba of course
More to come (the hardware is barely working)
Problems setting it up:
There were some but so few that I can't even remember them. Mostly with HexOS on testing-hardware not the final parts.
Looking forward to everything coming in the future. But honestly… I’m fine 😎
