From streaming multimedia to numerous devices in the home, to sharing their entertainment collection with friends and family worldwide, the advantages in using a NAS as a centralised location for all of your movies, box sets, music and photos are pretty obvious. My Custom NAS - jelliott42's Saved Part List - Xeon E3-1275 V5 3.Choosing Between Plex and Emby on a NAS in 2021/2022ĭespite the fact that network-attached storage NAS has a vast number of services and utilities for home and business use, many users predominantly use their NAS for a media server. One can see more information on this build here. Usage Profile: Back-ups, remote file access, Plex Media Server, possible VMs idk yet Other Bits: 2x Mini SAS/SATA cables, 24 pin extension cable, 8 pin extension cable, Phantom YoYo 40P dupont cable 200mm male to female, (do I need sata extension cables) Power Supply: FSP Mini ITX Flex ATX 80+ Platinum 500 Watt (FSP700-80UEPB if build in ITX-S8 case) RAM: 32GB Kingston DDR4-2133 Unbuffered ECC (possible addition later)

Motherboard: Supermicro X11SSL-CF-B Micro ATX LGA1151ĭrives: 8x 8TB Ironwolf 7200rpm, 1x 250gb WD Blue 2.5” SSD Operating System/ Storage Platform: FreeNAS/ZFS Which would be better to build in for a first time builder? Do i have all the hardware that i will need? Thanks for your help. I like the NSC-810A case but i also found the ITX-S8 Mini-ITX case with 8 hot swap trays. IDK if the SAS/SATA cables are right to use with the MOBO or not, or if the case comes with cables that will work? The extension cables i added because i read in a thread that they make it easier to install in NSC-810A case. I plan to use it mainly as a Plex Media Server with remote file access. I wanted something pretty compact, quiet, with hot swap bays. Was going for a FreeNAS build with Plex Plugin.
