Hello everyone,
I'm new to the world of new build NAS and I'm looking for advice for a personal project. At work, we use Synology NAS as well as OVH and Amazon servers, but on my side, I have an old PC converted into a NAS.
Software-wise, I know what I want to do: install Proxmox to manage virtual machines (VMs) and containers. My main goal is to set up a NAS to share a storage space (Drive type) with my friends.
I've got a budget of around €1,000** and I'm looking for a solution that's both energy-efficient and capable of handling RAID 5 or even RAID 6.
Where I'm a bit lost is on the hardware side:
- Which case to choose?
- Which CPU and motherboard to choose?
- What power supply is recommended for this type of configuration?
- Are there any ready-made solutions, or is it better to assemble everything yourself?
If you have any ideas, feedback or recommendations, I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks in advance for your advice!
