I'm looking at building my own first NAS. Nice and compact but home built to keep cosy down but also for the fun factor. Main use he back up from PCs and Plex, with option to sue home assistant in future.
Im thinking jonsbo N2 with a N100/N150/N305 topton board 16gb of ram (maybe 32gb), reputable brand PSU of 450 watt.
Storage I'm not sure looking for around 20-30tb as think that's more than I need but allowing headroom. Probs use ironwolf drives and a cache on an nvme.
Software I want easy to use so unraid looks like the likely option.
Keen to see if this is good as a first NAS build and any advice be great.
