Low power but fast NAS - Enquiries - 10-19-2024
Currently have a DS215J with 10Y+ old 2x WD 3TB RED WD30EFRX's. It gets very slow when browsing or backing up pictures.
Looking for a low (idle) power and a very responsive and long term acceptable platform, so was thinking of going all flash as that will earn itself back at least partially.
Also 2.5GbE would be nice.
So far have been looking into the Odroid H4 with the M.2 4x1 expansion board or an HP Elite Mini 600 or 800G9 with 13100T or 13500T.
For the storage the Lexar NM790 4TB seems to be a good option as the lack of a DRAM cache appears to make it relatively low power.
