I've been thinking about building my own NAS as well. Mind sharing how much did you pay for those hard drives, and what motherboard did you choose?
- Confiks 2mo agoIt was €329 per hard drive (through a reputable store), and I chose the ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 mATX motherboard combined with a Ryzen 5 8500G. Stock CPU cooler, replaced the Jonsbo case fans with Arctic P12 Pro PST LN. I only slightly regret the PSU (MSI MAG A650GL), which could be quieter. Not that it's very noisy, and it's a great PSU otherwise, but I should've chosen one that just shuts the fan down at low power usage.

On a typical ATX board you have motherboard SATA and can put SAS controllers in the spare PCIe slots. My first "NAS" was two 22TB hard drives in a ZFS pool on my motherboard SATA

- Brian_K_White 2mo agono. just sata & sas. There is no nvme spinning drive and flash loses bits just from sitting, it's not archival. flash is good for working not for storing.

- QuiEgo 2mo agoThis is true, but if you use a file system that does scrubs (and you should use such a file system for a NAS), and if you keep the NAS on 24*7, this won’t be an issue.
