  Amazingly cheaper after #inflation

  Wonder whether the extra slot on the board/card can still be used

  Any good for Home Assistant ans Plex Server alongside the NAS?

    Plex maybe if you don’t need any transcoding. Home assistant would be ok. The ram is a worry, would want to beef it up.
    I doubt the system is much more powerful than a raspberry pi 4.
    However running x64 architecture makes certain things easier

      looks like the cpu supports intel quick sync, it might do some ok trans-coding if plex uses intel acceleration.

        Quick Sync is pretty nice, just watch the IO still on those J series, they aren’t beasts.
        Still for the money, it’s hard to complain.
        I’d personally never buy a two bay NAS because it precludes any type of RAID save a mirror, which probably isn what most people want

          @[Deactivated]: yup, i'm interested cause i have an unraid and SCALE server, but i kind wanted a small backup NAS just in case (exos16tb mirror), then i remembered this doesnt have zfs and the memory isnt ECC, i love the 10gbe nic though :(

            @Aarent: A lot of boards are coming out with 10gbe these days.
            Personally I’ve recommended most people I know to buy something like a fractal 304 and AMD Ryzen 5500 or similar.
            The cost is probably similar to most NAS but you’ll get far better hardware and upgrade flexibility

              @[Deactivated]: Yeah you can DIY a NAS on the cheap and have far more room for extra features, problem is power consumption especially on chiplet design cpus (AMD) which have higher idle power usage. Not an issue if you just turn it on when doing backups but 24/7 usage will add up.

                @JerraJones: The higher idle power usage is only going to cost you a few tens of dollars per year, and even less if you have solar.
                It's a none issue.

                  JerraJones on 23/01/2023 - 23:28

                  @Nom: With rising power costs/higher cost of living it all adds up. Majority of people don't even have the option of solar (renting).

                    @JerraJones: Don’t forget the disks will probably use a higher share of power.
                    But even so you can choose your CPU carefully, there are some options 10-15W options

  This setup doesn't make sense to me. Need a pair of SSDs to keep up with a 10Gbe link, but if you have the funds for that then why not get a NAS with more bays (thus more futureproofing) instead?

  honestly just get an old optiplex and put some HDDs in it, flash debian / unraid / trunas and your done

    Yep this is a good alternative . I recently bought a QNAP 464 after having a crack at a DIY and at the end of the day the learning curve isn't that massively different from my experience . I was just more committed to the QNAP as It actually cost money compared to just using my old system .
    Previously had a readynas 212 that was so simple to use and configure but got far too slow after ~7 years of faithful service .

    • 

      chartparker on 23/01/2023 - 08:14

      I too jumped to QNAP after my Readynas 104 died an untimely death. Luckily everything was backed up to external drives

        I would of bought another Netgear if they were still doing domestic appliances . I was still getting updates in the last half of last year and although getting slow it was only the hard drive that was actually dieing .I paid $99 for it (ozbargain for the win) and served me well for many tears .Super simple with just the features I needed ..

  Hanging for a deal on the f4-423 or even the 2 bay variant

  Just not sure the point of having 10gbe in NASs with this or similar NASs as there's no way it can take the advantage of the NIC. It's cheap enough, though.

  On the other hand UGREEN has DX4600 that is ~$100 more expensive (well, I believe it's China only at the moment) with 4 bays and 2xNVMe and 2x2.5gbe, while (not officially) working with TrueNAS, UnRAID and other Linux distros.

    The latest Terramaster models like the F4-423 have 2x NVMe and 2x 2.5G in them. I have mine upgraded to 16GB RAM with TrueNAS.

  I ended up purchasing it. Buy now, regret later.

  So, should this be fine for my first NAS? What else do I need to purchase? I really just want this to run Plex and host media for playback with tablets/phone/computer over LAN.

  Can this also be used to run sonarr/radarr and so on?
