Comment on New OS on ugreen DH4300

Looking at the price of that Ugreen DH4300 it’s about 30% more than I paid to build my own server (Ryzen 5 3400g /w 16gb ddr4). If you can get second hand ddr4 for a decent price it’ll probably still be a cheaper option and allows you to do your own maintenance/repairs in the future.

I was thinking about that as well, but I energy costs are a concern for me. May I ask how many watts your setup needs?

My server is usually between 30w-40w (that’s about 20-25p per day electricity cost in the UK).
That’s with the aforementioned processor/ram,a Gigabyte A520M motherboard, 1 case fan, the stocker cooler, a 120gb 2.5" SSD, 2 4TB 3.5" HDDs and 1 8TB 3.5" HDD (all drives always spinning).
It’s running OpenMediaVault as OS and 5 docker containers 24/7 (Flatnotes, FreshRSS, Kavita, qBittorrent and RecipeSage). Other than that I use it for media access from a MiniPC running Debian w/ Kodi accessing it via SMB (the server doesn’t transcode).
