Currently have a home lab of 2x super micro servers running older Xeon’s. Problem is power consumption is terribly expensive. I’m currently running ZFS with 4x4tb 4x8tb and 4x12tb with zraid and all mapped to a single storage container.
I’m looking for a good cpu (no celeron) multiple cores, and possibly dual cpu. Must have upgradable memory (current home lab is over 184gb of ram) and 128gb in the other machine. Boot drive should be an ssd.
Looking at running QNAP or synology so I don’t have to keep dealing with os and software upgrades that I don’t have a lot of time to deal with.
Will be running plex, ai workloads, various containers for work functions, etc.
Network is 10gb+ capable running UDM SE with a powered switch and plenty of networking throughout the home.
Overall just struggling to find the right nas. Willing to use a desktop nas but not my first option as I like rackmounting these things.
