Hi Everyone,
I plan to build a new NAS and use TrueNAS as my OS, and I need help on a couple of topics.
Let me get you up to speed-
I currently use Qnap TS-230 (entry-level) and plan to build the new one from scratch.
I use the current one mainly to store, organize and stream my photos, videos, and media library.
My Plan-
Case- Jonsbo N1 (already bought)
Motherboard- Gigabyte H610I (only ITX in the budget)
CPU- Intel 12400 (6C/12T) and use the stock cooler (I don't know if ill need to upgrade).
RAM - 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 3600Mhz corsair Vengeance CL18 (I don't know if ECC is an option)
Storage- 3X WD Red plus (4TB- RaidZ1), 1X WD Green SATA SSD (240GB- Boot drive), 1X M.2 SSD (512GB - cache)
PSU- CoolerMaster 750W 80+ Gold (not that expensive).
Questions-
1. Any comments about the setup?
2. What should I use, TrueNAS Core or Scale?
3. Any suggestion on the Media server platform? (Plex, Emby, Jellyfin).
I mainly use my Sumsang TV and use DLNA, which works well.
4. any suggestion for expansion SATA cards? (have only four and maybe expand).
Thanks for your help :)
