Hello all,
I am wanting to build up a very budget friendly NAS for safely storing video and photo work.
Unsure with my tight budget if I could build something up that's strong enough for live files (do my Post production) from the nas itself.
Or if since budget is low get a less horsepower system and just export all files to the NAS, after all work is done just so it is safely backed up.
I do have a few older 125gb ssd's so I can easily use one of those as the Boot drive.
outside of that i was thinking a few WD reds for actual storage
Side note i do have access to a bunch of old Dell optiplex 790's but issue with them is they are small form factor and only have room for 1 HDD. I would think using USB bays with the hard drives is probably not a good solution for this though.
Apologies as I am all over the place hopefully you can all make sense of my scatter brain :)
