I have a Synology Nas with an unencrypted 80tb volume. I also have some spare drives. I'd like to build a power efficient nas out of the drives I have plus some new, move data across and build the volume from scratch. I like n100 because od how efficient it is but looking at cwwk mobo it can only handle 6 drives while I'd need at least 8 to get enough space and that is with no extras I think (would need to have another look at what drives I have available).
Would you have any suggestion for something that fits the bill?
After moving the data over I'd likely keep this built on top of the Synology or might sell syno and build another custom one as I'm growing tired of it but energy efficiency is a priority for me.
Do I need n100 for transcoding? No I have another pc for that but just like the idea of the n100.
An alternative is putting something more powerful in to replace the i7-6700 or whatever it is I have running frigate at the moment but it has it's own powerful DC ups so that would open another can of worms.
