Comment on Help Selecting DIY NAS Hardware?
three@lemmy.zip 2 weeks agoI’ve been running an R5 for going on 8 years now. It has served as an excellent platform for my NAS and I do highly recommend it It’s come to the end of it’s life though (I have too many drives), so I’m upgrading to the Fractal Meshify 2XL.

Thanks for this! I guess that settles my case deliberation at least. But man, getting all the things you mentioned for $170 on eBay is crazy good!!! I must just really need to dig in there a bit deeper (it’s gonna be too easy to go broke with home networking as a hobby otherwise lol). I guess so long as I am memtesting my RAM and burning in drives right after getting them I should be okay. I think I also am overindexing on trying to get my power draw as low as possible instead of really doing the math out and seeing how long I’d need to be running something 24/7 before the power savings ends up outweighing the price differential. But thanks again!
