Hey,
Im looking for a good NAS option to upgrade to from my Synology DS418.
My main criteria:
• Rack-mountable. Either a half-depth rack-mount case or a desktop case I can put on a rack shelf
• A device that runs reliably for the next 10–15 years with minimum intervention.
• Min 8 drives and space to expand in the future – for large file storage
• Ability to repair/upgrade the NAS in the future.
I am happy to go either turnkey or DIY, but have been investigating the DIY given the want for repairability / upgradability. Case wise was thinking about either Sliger CX3702 or SilverStone CS382. The Icy Dock ToughArmor 8x2.5” to 5.25 caddie looks awesome for future proofing! Thinking about a HBA or m.2 to Sata for extra I/O.
Im struggling to find good options for matx mobo/cpu. I found the SuperMicro X13SCL-F but its not cheap and neither is ECC DDR5. Happy spend a little more if it gives me the years of service.
I would love any thoughts/recommendations.
