Hello,
I'm building a NAS for my family. It has to be cheap, silent and small (I know I can't have it all). I don't need any kind of jail or VM since I already have a computing node for this and if, for example, I ever wanted Plex I'd just expose a NFS share to the computing node. The build only needs to contain files and serve them to my LAN via NFS and SMB.
Considering that I already have the 4x4TB disks I need and that I don't plan to expand it for some years I decided not to go for socketed CPUs. I encountered the Intel Atom C3338 on the SuperMicro A2SDI-2C-HLN4F and it seems a reasonable price for where I live (around 335 bucks all included) and, above all, consumes nothing.
What kind of build could it be? Will it work?
MB+CPU: SuperMicro A2SDI-2C-HLN4F
RAM: Crucial CT32G4RFD4266 32 GB RDIMM ECC ( I could expand later this way)
Disks: 4x 4TB WD40EFRX
Case: Fractal Design Node 304 or Fractal Design Node 804 or Supermicro CSE-721TQ-250B
PSU: if SM then it's already there but if its one of the Nodes? I don't know
