First, I would like to thank this community for being an understanding, open-minded and Novice friendly like myself. I have learned a lot in the past few weeks thanks to this community, unlike Reddit’s toxic communities where asking a question is illegal.
I have built most of my NAS; the only missing component (CPU) I will be collecting in the morning. I just wanted to ask general questions or tips. Dos and Donts. I will be using Unraid as OS.
Here’s my advice. The most important things are that you have a free GPU slot and another PCIE slot on whatever you get. You’re going to want a GPU for transcoding when disk space gets tight. You want the extra PCIE slot for a sas card. Disk shelves are surprisingly cheap, and you can keep adding disk that way. They daisy chain.
As far as the OS, I’m partial to Unraid and Truenas but seriously, anything you are comfortable with will work.
