Hello,
I am a huge fan of Open Source and Self-Hosting.
"Storage-wise", I've been using a Nextcloud server built from a Supermicro 1U low-depth chassis (SC502L-200B) with a 200W power supply, a Supermicro motherboard with a soldered ATOM CPU with heatsink (X7SPE-HF-D525), 4GB of RAM, and a Seagate IronWolf 1TB hard drive (5900 RPM), and running on Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS - no issues whatsoever for the past couple of years.
My storage requirements are extremely low (I have just made a backup of ALL my data (pictures, music, video clips, ISO's, documents etc) and everything summed up at just under170 GB. Nonetheless, this data is extremely valuable to me and I want it protected, as well as ready accessible to me and my family at any time.
For some reasons, I would like to replace the Nextcloud server with TrueNAS server.
For my new build, I don't want to compromise with case, power supply, and hard disk drives, so I chose:
