Hi guys,
I want to build a home NAS part by part and I'll like to ask for some advice.
First of all, the main use/purpose of the NAS:
-I'm a content creator, techie and a movie guy. I create content which to be honest with a 2-3 TB drive I'm well served as for now my content is about 700 GB.
As said before I'm a movie guy, I've got about 600 Blu-rays....and 80 UltraHD Blu-rays. The server function will be JUST as storage. I'm thinking on buying an external 8TB drive to so some backups. My main storage would be a backup of all my Blu-ray movies as well as UHD BD movies when there's software able to backup them. My movies are usually 2 streams, an 8-10 Mbps AVC MKV with losseless track and a HEVC 10 bit 4-5 Mbps stream (when HEVC 10 bit becomes mainstream I'll delete all my AVC Backups). Action-Blockbusters movies such as Transformers, Avatar, Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings are backed up as MKV Remux taking 30+ GB well because...It would be a crime not letting these movies at full quality.
No transcoding is needed from the server as I already do transcoding with my PC (i7 4790K and GTX 1070, that's how I create my encodes, CRF allways) although I would like the server to be able to handle a 100 GB UHD BD HEVC 10 bit 100 Mbps HDR BT.2020 file. I would also like the NAS to be strong enough to access two of these files at the same time. Files will be accessed from my PC, from my laptop and from my Oppo UDP-203.
My storage needs:
Not really got the money for a 600 Blu-ray collection backup, I already got 30TB worth of external drive backups (There's little left to backup from my collection) so my total content would be something around 25TB, I was thinking of starting with a 10TB Seagate Ironwolf which in my country is 360€ not that bad. As this leaves me with more upgradable space (8 bays = 80TB).
So this is the setup I was thinking:
-CPU: Intel Pentium G4560 52€
-Motherboard: Asrock B250M Pro4 85€
-PSU: Aerocool Extreme Silence 700W Modular Bronze 60€
-Case: SilverStone SST-CS380 145€ (It's got an 8 bay hot swappable)
-CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L9I 35€
-RAM: That's where I'm stuck...ECC is expensive, how's the 1 GB for every TB rule for ZFS such as FreeNAS???
With out RAM and Hard drives the setup is about 380€ (aprox $350) I would like to stay on a 500€ budget just for the setup itself (not drives) (about 520-530$)
What do you recomend guys?
Is there something I'm missing or something I should be aware of?
