I am currently looking to retire my Synology DS918+ for a custom build TrueNAS Scale System. My current spec list looks something like this:
For boot / OS I would additionally opt for:
Alternative would be a Dell PowerEdge T40 (with Xeon E-2224G + 16GB) which is comparably cheap currently (also around 500€) but the case is quite cramped and does not fit 4 3.5 HDD easily and requires additional NVMe PCIe card because the port on the mainboard is locked.
- CPU: Intel Core i3-9100F (no iGPU)
- Mainboard: ASUS P11C-I/NGFF2280 (ASPEED AST2500 Onboard)
- RAM: Samsung 16GB DDR4 ECC (M391A1K43BB2-CTD > 2666@2400)
- Case: Fractal Design Node 304
- Power: ASUS ROG Strix 750G
- HDD (RAIDZ1): 4x Western Digital WD Red 3TB, SATA 6Gb/s (WD30EFRX)
- as main storage
- NVMe (Single): 1x Samsung SSD 950 PRO 512GB, M.2
- for docker, vm
For boot / OS I would additionally opt for:
- SATADom(Single or Mirror): 1-2x Innodisk SATADOM-SL 3ME3 V2 32GB
Alternative would be a Dell PowerEdge T40 (with Xeon E-2224G + 16GB) which is comparably cheap currently (also around 500€) but the case is quite cramped and does not fit 4 3.5 HDD easily and requires additional NVMe PCIe card because the port on the mainboard is locked.
