    What year were these brought out?

      8th Generation CPU, I guess it would be around 5 to 6 years ago? I think it would be a great buy if it could be reduced a bit further, around $285?

      • BatmanAU on 28/06/2024 - 17:49

        Thanks :)

      you'll need to add a GPU. something like a used 3060Ti would be perfect.

        How much would that be?

        • xyron on 28/06/2024 - 17:50

          They seem to sell for around $300ish on Facebook Marketplace.

        Almost just better off buying one of these if you're looking to add a GPU

        • xyron on 28/06/2024 - 17:49

          Yes, I agree with this.

  • Proliferation on 28/06/2024 - 17:52

    C246 chipset, noice
    This is actually really good value, because you can replace the i7 with an i3 8100 or 8300 as an example, to have a low-power NAS with ECC support plus iGPU transcoding.

      Hey mate is this any better then a synology ds423+?

      • Proliferation on 28/06/2024 - 19:37
        +2

        By supporting ECC RAM it's closer to the DS923+ in terms of 'enterprise' features, but like the DS423+ you also get the benefit of the iGPU; however, this has the potential to have way more actual storage drives connected, by default slightly less but many more depending on whether the PCIe x16 slot supports bifurcation or you can plug in a HBA. I haven't checked, so you may want to look into the possibility of that- or for any potential issues with the power supply (in case Dell have done something funky like switched the pins in the ATX connector around, to prevent you from using a different one if the included PSU ever dies or you find the power budget insufficient). Also you will have to deal with setting up Truenas/Xpenology/OpenMediaVault yourself, and there's something to be said for how easy Synology makes the task of getting their hardware up and running.

        • Elanzer on 29/06/2024 - 10:16

          Thank you for the response!

          With the 923+ you can't do any hardware transcoding is that right? What is the benefit of ecc ram? My main purpose is a plex server

          • Proliferation on 29/06/2024 - 11:30

            @Elanzer: The 923+ can do some level of transcoding, if I'm recalling correctly 1080p should be fine and you can maybe get away with a single 4K stream, but it wont be as robust as with the 423+ where you can have multiple 4K streams due to the difference in capabilities between the AMD embedded chip in the former vs. the Intel iGPU of the latter.
            And yeah for a plex server you don't really need ECC. The benefit is, it allows the NAS OS to detect and correct for bit-flips when they occur (tl;dr - cosmic rays occasionally collide with your PC and might turn a 1 to a 0 or vice-versa). These are rare, and it's more of an issue if you're using TrueNAS because ZFS is a filesystem created by aliens that loves keeping data stored in RAM, and the main risk of corruption due to a bitflip is while the data is being moved into or out of RAM. And yes, all of that is important if you're serving an enterprise database, but not if you're only storing media files- which get written to the disk once and are never modified. In that case, even if a flip happened while moving your media files across to the new NAS, you probably wouldn't notice as the video file would likely still play fine. For comparison, Synology systems use BTRFS which has a lot of the benefits of ZFS and a few less of the potential downsides, so from a simplicity and ease-of-use perspective you might be best off with the DS423+.

      Any idea how many HDDs it can accomodate? Thanks.

      • MasterScythe on 28/06/2024 - 23:05

        2 stock.

        4 if you mount them on TOP of the drive bays too; but it blocks expansion cards if you need any.

        • Sfh1975 on 28/06/2024 - 23:38

          Not many, then. Thanks.

    Do these have noisy fans boss?

    • wonderboy4 on 29/06/2024 - 07:13

      I have one of these Dell's with the exact same specs and it also came with a GTX 1080, great computer, but does get noisy under load, which is usually only when running certain games, doesn't happen much at all when running normal tasks.

  • Weshouldgetsushi on 28/06/2024 - 18:38

    This is just too expensive, given that you will end up spending more to upgrade parts. e.g. the PSU. I haven't checked if it is proprietary.

    decent specs
    but need $50-70 off from this price to call a bargain

  • Grippit on 28/06/2024 - 19:36

    Ahh, just got the 16gb version off eBay store for same similar price a week ago. Any chance OP can do me an upgrade and send out extra 16GB?

      Why would they do that?

    Anything with GTX/RTX graphics cards? Need a ok gaming rig for my kid!

  • slam6000 on 28/06/2024 - 22:06

    ? With the nebula etc deals going ? Not really that much more but budget and use purpose yes.

  • Lonewolf1983 on 28/06/2024 - 23:33

    bought one of these back when they were on sale with a GTX1080
    PSU is ATX standard but space makes it tight to replace
    stock cooler is ok at low load but gets a bit loud under heavier loads and a pain to upgrade due to space constraints

    Ok for general use but there are cheaper SFF options, and if you want to game then as mentioned there are good cheap PC's with more modern hardware and graphics cards
