Hi guys,
I'm trying to build a home NAS. I saw some threads over the internet, but .. I think I'm more confused than I was before. I've a feeling this is kind of off-topic, so I rather put it here instead to the HW section. If you have this kind of storage at home, please do share your experience.
My goal: build ZFS based storage with ~ 9TB free as quiet as possible (passive cooling + passive PSU ?) keeping the power consumption at minimum. If possible made it as a home router too (1Gbit LAN to 40MBps uplink).
It seems it's impossible to meet my demands. If I set the highest priority to silence - what board will suit my needs ? Is it possible to power 3 x 3TB disks + aux on it (ATOM based)? If not and I need to buy something more powerful - what about power consumption?
I want to ask somebody who built this storage to share his (her) experience what _not to buy and/or what to avoid in general.
Thanks.
