Been eyeing these up for a while, but given the price, also been considering rolling my own with a N100 board and TrueNAS/Unraid (TBD).
Anyone know a 4 bay NAS case that is similar sized to a Synology that fits an ITX board?
You could always roll with the Terramaster D4-320 DAS that's on sale, if you don't mind the USB-C connector - let's you just get a mini pc though.
They were back in stock yesterday.It's going to an MS-01 so I'd prefer to use ethernet than USB. I mean I'd love a 10GB NIC but not going to happen with my current space/price restrictions! :)
You do you, of course. I'm curious about your reasoning if you don't mind.
I'm not sure what the connection has to do with it going to an MS-01 though. I mean, if you bought an N100-type mini box and connected a DAS to it, I doubt you'd see a whole lot of difference vs a NAS, if they're both on a 1Gb connection, especially if you're on spinning disks.
I get your argument from a reliability perspective I guess, though USB has come a long way. In terms of bang for your buck, it's a hard-to-beat solution I think.
Horses for courses and all that though :)
Take a look at the Jonsbo or Aoostar wtr pro
I'm planning on getting the AOOSTAR WTR PRO 4 Bay is N100 unit about $300 US - out of stock currently though
I did see them and saw a review as well, seems to be a pretty good ready-to-go solution, the 2x2.5GB aggregation is nice!
If you have have spare hardware (eg hp microserver), you can build your own synology with tinycore/redpill

I have been looking at a very similar setup. Which supplier on Ali did you go with, so many resellers with hardly any orders.
nice build
Im in the same boat, Ive been waiting a long time for that 4 bay to hit that price again. It seems Synology are very confident in the product so they rarely go on sale. For now I have an old gaming pc with an i5 processor as my dedicated plex server so no rush. Ill just continue to hold out.
Same here, their previous NAS products continued to drop in price, but not this iteration for some reason.
Have you measured power use at the wall for idle and activity?
Low power usage is the only thing keeping me with purpose-built NAS hardware.
Thanks for sharing those links. Very interesting.
Are you thinking Unraid for the OS?
Edit: nvm I saw you suggested TrueNAS
@GS-RN: I'm currently looking to buy a DS923+ or DS423+ if I can get a decent price. But if not, I'll probably set-up a similar solution to you.
What type of RAID are you planning to implement?
@kizzaaa: @kizzaaa hey i have exact same plan as yours! I wish we both live nearby so can built nas together
Doesn't that case need a sfx power supply?
Distress??
NAS from the big 2 brands are solid and reliable, but never 'cheap'. You're probably paying almost as much for the software as much as for the hardware.
