Nas Advice - Enquiries - 06-02-2025
Hello.
We're a family of 6 people and we use the google cloud services 200gb. with the family photos, school works and more, the limit is already reaching.
I believe 2 TB for 99 euros is too much for our family budget
So, I came up with the nas solution and I think even though it will cost a little bit, it will give more space, more stuff to tinker with for me and my family.
I'm having trouble to choose the right board and cpu.
N100 I think it would be suffice but checking the media solution like what jelyfin does and downloading media, I think I need something better. but checking the prices for motherboard with LGA 1700 and i5-12100, it surpasses the 600 euros even if I buy used nas HDD.
Is there any advice you could provide me so I can be more certain of what path to follow?
Many thanks
