Hi all,

I put together a first home storage setup on a relatively tighter budget: ~$150 for 12TB, (4x3TB raidz2 = 6TB effective). Parts list is below, prices including shipping:

| Part | Qty | Price per qty | Price | |

|

|

|

| | Dell Optiplex 760 SFF: Core 2 Duo E8400, 500GB HDD, 4GB RAM | 1 | $23.93 | $23.93 | | HGST HUS724030ALS640 3TB 7.2k 3.5" SAS Drive | 4 | ~$10 | $39.99 | | SFF-8088 to 4x SFF-8482 SAS cable | 1 | $14.87 | $14.87 | | LSI 9200-8e SAS card with external port | 1 | $23.93 | $23.93 | | 700W ATX power supply | 1 | $29.99 | $29.99 | | 10-layer acrylic hard drive rack | 1 | $16.99 | $16.99 |

I think I got a real good deal on those drives. I've got the server up and running with EndeavorOS and ZFS. The CPU's less powerful than I would like, but it seems to run my FileBrowser and Jellyfin instances just fine. I'm pretty happy with it so far, but I'd love to hear the community's thoughts. I should probably put a fan on the hard drives, but my temps seem to be hovering around 40-50C so it seems okay for now.
