It’s why I went with TrueNAS. It has built in support for VMs and containers in K3s. So far it’s been super nice. A lot to read up on, but you seem to have the same background as me so it should be fine. I find it fun!
I really wished they made them 20+TB (I switched to Exos X20 and was pleasantly surprised with the noise profile ... tho my expectations were preset to low).

How much did you pay in total?

I haven’t dared summed it up yet. It’s been purchased over a stretch of time. Guesstimating to around €3000.

Ouch indeed! I'm sure you want to run powerful applications to justify the costs :-)
Prizephitah@feddit.nu · 5 pts · 2y
About half the cost was just the disks 😅

Jealous! I gotta upgrade mine soon, the hardware is 12 years old and I’m down to 3TB free.

Hey man, it doesn't matter how much you have, it's never enough!

I choose to believe it's 2003 and everyone envies how much storage I have.

My trick is setting a monthly saving for this a few years ago. Today me thanks past me.
Also, I started out with 2x 4TB in raid 1 in my previous server. Or really just an unused desktop with a 1TB disk before that.

Fun! I used the exact same chassis for my NAS. Thanks for sharing!

I searched far and wide for the perfect chassis. Silverstone make some awesome stuff.

Yeah, the quality is really good. It's also not cheap. I bought this case mostly because it's rather shallow and did fit into my previous server rack.
I'm now at a point where I should buy another drive cage but I'm a bit hesitant to spend 150€ for it. Well...
Edit: Any reason you decided to go with a non-server mainboard without IPMI and ECC support?
Prizephitah@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 2y
My thoughts exactly! I recon that I’ll probably keep the case the longest of all, out of all those a hardware.

That's awesome. Thanks for posting the pics and assembly.

Damn, Red Plus really are the best, so quiet.

Awesome, what server chassis is that?

Looks like a Chenbro rm-42000
