HW suggestions

[silvioslim]

Hi everyone, I came from a Truenas scale HW made it last year. Just wanna share it in case of some suggestion.

Case: chenbro SR301 Plus

MB: Asus LGA 1700  mini itx

CPU: i5-12400

RAM: 32Gb DDR5 5600MHz

HD: 4x4Tb Iron Wolf + 1 nvme 256gb (OS res.) + 1 nvme 512gb (application data res.)

LAN: external usb 3.0 2.5G Realtek

How i use it? 50% Plex Server - 25% backup data - 25% owncloud and Samba Share to my windows pc

Any advice? Excepted Lan usb adapter (i know realtek chipset is stuck a little bit on 2.5g and intel 2.5g i didn't find it as external adapter) what you will improve?

Other than potentially your LAN, looks like a good home build. I have a similar rig just less RAM and CPU is not that powerful (16GB and Intel N100). Good luck!

oh, I like it, though I dont really know specifics. I am looking for hardware myself, did you build this new or repurpose it from other sources? Also any idea on what your total cost ended up being?

i just ordered a small NAS with a N100 for the family. Its also available with a stronger risen cpu but it can't transcode as well as the N100 (up to 4 4k streams)

You can also just build your own NAS to satisfy your use cases

Well, I was going to try to run HexOS on a QNAP NAS, but the Aoostar comes in even cheaper.

I plan on using a 2014 Mac Mini that has 8GB Ram, 1TB HDD and a NVME that I'm not sure how much is on it but I plan to test HexOS on it.
