My issue with ZFS/freenas when evaluating was having to add X drives at a time (likely 6 in a vdev). The QNAP is still nice but definitely overly pricey and I think I could resell it and build a better, faster, and larger unraid box as a backup for less cost. Got tired of the heat, noise and power generated by the rack servers. I'm going the opposite direction, I was on esxi with a R420 and a qnap NAS previously (moved the vms to unraid but still on the qnap for data and transitioning to the unraid box). (the shucks are kinda set in stone as they're hard to beat on price). I'll be posting more pictures and updates as I start moving the parts and pieces into the case.Ĭomments, suggestions, and feedback is welcome ~especially around PSU/parity drive selection Only missing a few pieces bolded above (I'm waiting for the BF/xmas deals to pick up some more easystores).Īll said and done should be just over 200TB usable.

and yes, that is 15 hard drive slots plus the 3x 5.25" bays : I like the drive spindown, ease of use, single drive expand-ability, and dataloss handling in catastrophic scenarios ~ particularly since a large portion of the usage is for Plex so performance is back burner to efficiency. While trying out various OS'es and collecting parts the past few months I finally settled on unRAID. While the QNAP is great it was really pricey and I'm not getting the value out of it I was hoping for. I've been researching and hunting for a solution to replace my QNAP NAS. I've finally found a groove for my NAS and part selection for my build for my first 'real' STH post. I even had the opportunity to meet at the HPE conference in June ~ really smart, solid dude, and is as awesome as he seems. I've been floating around the forum for a few months now offering and seeking advice when I can. Howdy guys, lets start with a couple of teaser pictures (ignore the clutter and mess I have 2 kids under 5 ):
