I plan to build a backup NAS for my non-profit and need some help spec'ing it out. Here are the requirements:
Case - I want something small, but has the capacity for at least (6) 3.5" SATA drives. I like the look of the Fractal Array 2 Mini.
Motherboard - needs at least 6 SATA ports, max memory 16GB, SATA controller, and 1GB NIC
CPU - I prefer Intel, i3 enough for this load?
Power Supply - 300W okay with 6 SATA drives?
Drives - SATA 7200rpm 2TB or 3TB Hitachi, I've heard a lot of good things about these drives, but I see a big price difference in Deskstar and Ultrastar. Can I get by with Deskstar drives?
Did I miss anything?
