Dear Nas-Compares Team,
I was scrolling through your site the last days to get my head around a suitable NAS to purchase.
I sold my QNAP TS673, however kept my two Seagate IronWOlf 10TB HDDs, that a totally fine to start with.
I was looking at the Aoostart WRT Pro, Ugreen 4800 Plus or self build NAS and am not certain what could be the best pick.
10 GBE would be nice, however 2,5 are fine and given the upgrade from the old QNAP this is already a change (2,5GBE Switch will be purchased as well, got new CAT7 cables since renovation.
Low power consumption and some CPU reserves would be great, N100 not ideal.
I am using the NAS only as data storage (KODI), remote backup.
Eventually considering to migrate my HomeAssistant from a Raspberry 4 onto the NAS, alongside with Adblocker/PiHole. No virtualization planned for the time being, enough to work with at the job
Chinese mainboards as an option, if the hardware is durable enough.
Any recommendation is welcome! Best, André
