Hi JDM
Since it’s BF today, I want to “try” to get some deals, if possible.
I did see your updated OTiS U-NAS guide. I may go that route if I can’t find any other chassis.
I also have an old PC I may be able to use for parts, the MB is a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H and the CPU is an AMD 955 Black. Do you think this would be OK for a NAS. I was thinking of getting a HBA SAS adapter like in the article… Are there any with 10 drives/ports?
What do you think of the Orico 10 Bay NAS from AliExpress? Worth it?
I was thinking of buying it and then updating/modding it, if it proves to be under-powered. My concern is the 10 Drive bay backplane and whether it allows SATA/SAS passthrough, or whether it is one volume/array.
Thanks and Happy American Thanksgiving!!
