Any M2/NVME NAS solutions around… Looking for a silent NAS setup.

Hi,

As per the title, are there any DIY or off the shelf solutions for a NAS that uses M2/NVME storage?

It doesn’t have to be lightning fast but I want to build something as fanless as possible.

Thanks

I don't have this but it looks interesting. https://a.co/d/9QKFLOn

Thanks for the suggestion!

I have come across these before but not tried one… maybe now is the time.

Need to check if the OS can be installed on a USB/SD card, so all 4 M2s are dedicated to the RAID.

I bought a used HP ProDesk 600 G3 with an i5-7500 (not the slim version) for a few bucks and added a pcie>nvme expansion card.

I use an old sata ssd to boot and two 2TB nvme drives for storage, it works great 🙂

I just ordered one of these. Could’nt resist the small size. There is an SSD for the OS.

As for fanless, there IS a fan, let’s just hope it’s of the silent kind 😉

I got mine from here, since amazon.com don’t ship this product to my country (Sweden):

It will be a nice housing for the HexOS I payed for this morning.

Here is a place for a boot drive, the Foresee thing, basically an SSD without casing. Image I got from their support, so the Foresee brand is just an example.   When I got this mini PC the specification chosen was for a 512GB SSD which I imagined would be in addition to the four NVMe positions. But was simply one of four positions occupied.
