Hi,
I’m planning on building my own DIY NAS
Using: - Jonsbo N5 case
- ASrock TAICHI Lite x870e mono
- AMD Ryzen 9600x
- Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120SE cooler
- I’m looking for a Corsair PSU with more 4 Molex connectors.
- A Samsung Gen4 or Gen5 M.2 SSE as a boot drive.
- 32GB or 64GB Kingston Server Premier ECC ram
- M.2 to SATA adaptor or SAS PCIe card
My questions is as following:
- What kind of cables do I need?
- how do I know how Powerful PSU I need?
- How long Molex cables?
- I’ve see several videos warning against using Molex (fire hazard, frying the HDD connected to it) thoughts?
- On the Jonsbo there is both Molex and SATA power connectors on the hard drive backplates. Do I need to use both? If not, which to use?
- Do I need extra “grids” the other places I install fans? Like the 3 that is supplied with the Jonsbo?
- If SAS PCIE card (extra SATA connections). Should I get a RAID or HBA card?
- Anything else I have forgot to include? Extra fans (front or side panels)?
