Hi.
I might start buiding a NAS as a replacement for Synology box I am in the process of getting rid of, and I am trying to figure out the hardware basics.
Primarily, Intel vs AMD.
A mini-ITX motherboard with integrated Celeron J4105 doesn't cost much, and the CPU is supposedly perfectly capable of driving a home NAS even with some extra apps running on it. It is soldered to the MB though, so no way to upgrade.
What of AMD then? A friend is building something different based on Athlon 200GE. That's only dual core, but supposedly faster than quad core Celeron. It's also a bit more expensive, but upgradable.
What do you think?
