   I built a home file share server for my wife and I. It cost me nothing because I got the pc for free and repaired and sold old laptops to fund the parts. It is a fully upgraded Dell Dimension 9200. Intel core 2 quad Q6600 quad core cpu, 8gb ddr2 667mhz, GT 710 2GB GDDR6 (yes, that version exists) and two WD red 4TB drives in RAID1 mirrored for redundancy. The system kicks ass at processing and move files and is only bottlenecked by my home network speed limit of 100MBPS. All running on W10 on a 128GB $20 SSD. Totally worth it!

   I might make myself a server in the future,

   Thing is, technology in Brazil is so hecking expensive, nothing is produced locally, everything is imported, and since the Brazilian currency is so devalued, and import fees are astronomical, getting electronics is pretty hard.

   I managed to throw together a first gen Ryzen in 2019, and that's what I'm using since. But yeah, like, I'm still running mechanical drives for everything, one of them failed, and I had to go for a 5200 rpm notebook one, and there's where my system is installed.
   Most of the parts I used came from China, including the motherboard, (by a brand called Colorful, which makes decent Intel boards, mind you, but their "venture" into AMD territory caused my system instability) I do shopping from China since they can literally declare any value on the receipt, (Import fees can go as high as +78% of the product price, so NewEgg and eBay are just no go) so yeah, I committed tax evasion just to get a pc running.

   I saw my first SSD not long ago, on a new notebook, the boot times with Garuda on it looked kinda nice. I'm pretty accustomed to 6 mins boot time. and now I'm planning on getting one in the coming months.

   I might use an old pentium that I have lying around, throw some mechanical drives from China, with the proper HBA, (those things runs IDE after all) just so I can stream my "Modified" *Wink Wink* software to my computer.
   "Modified" software in Brazil is legal, as long as it's used for personal consumption. Let's not employ the P word here, since YouTube, being a US company, is subject to DMCA, and they usually delete my comment when I employ that word.

   You could fit 6 SATA SSDs + 4 3.5” HDDs.
   Also, I wouldn’t count these out as gaming PCs if one prefers the aesthetics. A motherboard swap isn’t that difficult.

    1:29 don't install your RAM like this, the channels are colored for showing where you have to put your RAM for they function in dual channel…

    (Sorry my English, I learned by myself and I'm not good :'))

    I'd actually recommend something like an HP Z230 over the Optiplex. It has a Xeon CPU, which allows for ECC memory, and more room for storage. I got one on ebay last week for £75

    I'd say that if you decide you want, let's say, 12TB of storage, I'd recommend buying 4 4TB drives instead of 2 6TB drives. This will give you options for redundancy. with 2 drives, you basically have no option for redundancy, unless you sacrifice half of your 12TB of storage. If you buy 4 4TB drives, you can use one of those for redundancy, and still have 12TB of storage. Just make sure if a drive starts to fail, REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY, otherwise you could risk losing your data. Sounds dangerous, but it's better than running only 2 drives with half the storage space. or basically no redundancy…

    Also, you bought the exact same SATA HBA that I got! Still waiting for it to arrive.

    For anyone thinking about DIY NAS. Do your research about avoiding SMR Hard drives before you buy !!

    I have the main problem I can't find a power supply that has enough S-ata power connections ^^ I currently have 5 internal drives installed and actually need more. There is enough spacein the Case. But the power supply unit have not enough connections for S-ata drives. 😞

    If you use a mirrored drive is that different than using storage spaces? And if so is there any way to tell that one disk is bad?

    not a bad NAS, I have a G3930 with 2x8gb DDR4 ram and thinking of getting a quad-core Xeon from Kabylake and an x50 card for cheap then call it good till an HDD quits on me.

    this is where i started. i’m currently switching over to a terramaster 4 drive with UnRaid. i’ll be moving from my Frankenstein HP with TrueNAS Scale. i’m doing this to lower power use and to simplify my set up. i have a ProxMox HP too which i can use the Terramaster as well. my main uses are a samba, plex, and possible minecraft. if this terramaster doesn’t work out for the minecraft i plan to get sff pc for proxmox later.

    12TB for $100?
    meanwhile my local listings: 4TB for $100 and if you want cheaper all you'll get will be broken "for parts" drives (used ofc)

    I'll never forget when I legally downloaded thousands of hours of old tv shows and let my Aero 15 (before it was stolen) go for like 3 days transcoding everything down to 480×360 at 372kbps h.265 with 128k mp3 audio (this was before I discovered how good aac and opus are). The quality is actually better than you'd think, being only a little worse than a good dvd, keep in mind though, a lot of it started out as standard def anyway, and I intended to watch it from a tv tray on a 15'' laptop screen.
