I am going for something like this setup:
What are my current needs:
- NAS, of course.
- Running the PLEX plug-in, and the media storage that goes with that
- Samba target for all the Windows machines in the house for Win10 File History.
- Time Machine backup for all my Apple products.
- virtualized Pi-Hole for my network
- a Unifi Controller host via plug-in
- an Ubuntu desktop VM
- Transmission, Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Librarian
I bought these parts I’ve ordered and paid for.

What I could use help with
I could use help with the hard drives on the DAS. Does the backplate support SAS Drives? They seem the cheapest on eBay.
I have my eye on the i9700. I saw some people say they are using it in the HP. Will my fan support it?
