NAS Build Anonymous 2016-06-22 16:26:03 Post No. 55208242 [Report]

I am looking to build a NAS server for my house. I haven’t built a computer of any kind since I was in high school so 14 years ago. I have no idea what equipment/parts makers are worth a shit and I don’t have much time to research it. If any of you have any parts suggestions I would really appreciate it. The server will have no other purpose so no need for much in the way of sound or video.
Case
Power source
Main board with Audio and video
Ram
HD’s
No need for any optical drive I will load and FreeNAS from a USB drive.

Get a pre-built NAS box with a self-contained OEM OS. Unless you need very fine-grained management and advanced features, a NAS box from someone like QNAP with a couple of drives will work best for you.

A machine with lots of card expansion for SAS/SATA HBAs. Then add Sans Digital drive storage w/SPF8088 connectors. Add blocks of 4 drives as needed. Use linux software RAID and absolutely not ZFS.
