Home NAS - Unraid - Enquiries - 07-19-2025
Hello,
I'm looking for a silent NAS build with 4 bays to set up under a home environment. I purchased an Unraid Pro license many years ago, yet I frequently relied on using an external hard drive. I am now reaching a new storage requirement in the coming months, and I'm looking to see if I can consolidate this setup into a 2 x 10 TB RAID 1 cold storage build that will also allow me to maintain some storage for some surveillance footage.
My current budget as a general guideline is $1000 USD for the storage alongside the case, psu, and mobo. The household itself primarily uses Windows, and I am interested in having a feature-rich setup but not to go overboard as to end up building another PC. I checked the Jonsbo N2 setup but was a little intimidated and wondered if there are possibly setups without having to rely on AliExpress for the electronic parts.
Thanks,
Larry
