Hello, i’m looking to upgrade my 10 years old NAS/server. I already have the HDD and the case. But i have difficulties to chose motherboard, power supply, CPU & RAM.
So far i’m looking for :
- AMD CPU, +12 threads
- A bunch of SATA ports, maybe a LSI ? Which one ? And 2 NVME slots for the Motherboard.
- More than 16GB of ram, IF possible ECC
- All of this available in western Europe
I’m aiming for a budget between 600€ and 900€ for those 4 components.
Have a nice day :)
That’s not a NAS, that’s a full-on PC.
What you want for a NAS is a low power CPU, minimal memory, and hot swap capability.
If you’re looking more an application server, then that’s a different story. In either case, you probably want the lowest end non-APU chip.
