  • I am currently in the final phase of building my first own built NAS.

    (I have an oooooold Intel NAS, that I don’t really use anymore…)

    I need to populate the case with storage drives, I need to add an Intel GPU, a 10gbit NIC, and possibly add an HBA to add two SSDs for VM storage.

    Currently I have a:

    • Jonsbo N4 case
    • Asrock B550m Pro4
    • AMD Ryzen 4600G
    • 32GB RAM
    • Kingston boot SSD
    • Corsair SF750 PSU

    I am running TrueNAS on it, that was just installed to make sure that it is working, but I am planning on running it going forward, as I am mostly looking to run the server as a filserver.






  • I am also working on building a new NAS, I didn’t realize it was going to be so damned expensive though…

    Currently I am thinking of going for ZFS with six drives, four pure storage, one parity and one hot spare, I would also need another drive as a cold spare…

    I am interested in ZFS due to it’s bitrot protection, I have already seen some of my photos affected by bitrot…
