![]() I use old 9211 LSI flash IT mode cards for SATA drives. the router, switch.Īnd I would advise to stay away from the newest and untested chips.Īll current gen processors are very efficient at idle.ītw, you might also want to consider Jellyfin as an alternative to Plex.īut what if I got a SATA PCIe card instead? (the motherboard has 4 sata ports in total) Wouldn't that still solve the problem of few sata ports? If so, which card would you recommend? If not then the rest of the network would also need to support 10Gbps speeds, e.g. Is it going to be a direct connection between your NAS and PC? Yet, if the same M.2 socket is set to the PCIe mode and populated by a NVMe SSD then that restriction doesn't apply and no SATA ports get disabled. my old Asus motherboard disables one of the SATA ports if one of the M.2 sockets is set to the SATA mode when populated by a SATA SSD. ![]() So do some research before purchasing.Įvery motherboard is configured differently.Į.g. Thankfully you can find them published on the manufacturer's sites. The motherboard's M.2 slots configuration needs to be checked via the mobo's manual. I would also like to buy a 10gbps card to be able to transfer files from my pc to the nas very quickly. More than anything else, I am concerned about the idle consumption of this nas (So I need a motherboard that has more than one PCIe slot)ĭo you think an i5-13500 (14C/20T | 6P-8E) is overkill for Plex and some apps? (The cpu will be announced in January at CES 2023) (in the last few weeks I changed my decision several times so bear with me hahahh).īeing a full tower case I can put any motherboard in it and the assembly is much easier.Īre there motherboards that support 8hdd and 2ssd m.2 by default? has better airflow being a full tower case Seeing various reviews on youtube, I think I'll keep the Fractal Design Define XL R2, which: I'd say select another mATX motherboard with at least 6, preferably 8 SATA ports that also features a couple of M.2 slots that are configured by the manufacturer not to disable any of the SATA ports when both M.2 slots are in use. Thank you all for your patience and any suggestions (I'm not very experienced in this area)Īlso, I think it's very bulky as a NAS, I wouldn't mind, if possible, assembling a smaller build. I'm afraid this configuration will consume a lot of power in idle. What do you think of this configuration? Do you think it's overkill for the use I'm going to make of it? PSU: Cooler Master XG650 (650w) 80 PLUS Platinum RAM: Corsair VENGEANCE LPX 16GB (2x8)DDR4 3600 Here is the configuration I was thinking of:ĬPU: i5-12500 (maybe i5-13500 to be unveiled at CES in January 2023) With UHD 770 (same iGpu as the 12th gen) The NAS will be entirely used for photo/video storage (memories) and as a PLEX media server (Movies/TV series also in 4K).Īs HDDs I was thinking (to start with) 2x Seagate Exos 18TB (one of the 2 for parity). I would like to assemble my first NAS and i'm looking for advice/opinions on the various components I will need to purchase. Hello everyone, I'm ExNova and I've just joined this forum.
