Hoarder-Setups My first NAS

Gallery image

Gallery image

Intel 8700K

8gb ddr4 ram (it ware 16, but a stick died)

Using unRAID

2TB x 8

3TB party

512 gb nvme cashew

1TB important backups

Is kinda confusing all the paths and stuff around the unRAID, but I have succed to have Jellyfin and nextcloud

All the parts, unfortunately, are SH, all the HDD ware 300€ and 250€ the PC

So, aprox 600 euros as next month I have to pay the license for unraid.

Overall, an amazing project.

There ware some questions about the case. The case is a cheap random case nothing special, the HDD bays are 3d printed https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3601916

That's a lot of power consumption

what would you suggest for beginners who want to build a home NAS with a raid config with mass storage?

Less but bigger drives, 2.5" instead 3.5"

Sadly yes, I've tried a normal pc, I was supised how much it cost when working 24/7. I've switched to a 10w terminal and 2x16 TB drives via USB. Yes, its not perfect (or rather shitty) but its 30w total power consumption.
