My use cases will be running truenas scale on it, and running Immich, jellyfin, Tailscale and maybe nextcloud inside.
Ideally id like like NAS drives from an enclosure or something to connect to the mini pc [not sure how to make it work yet] for the zfs storage
Anyway, Id like to buy it under 20k, ideally at max 15k…
@FortiCore might help.
Almost no Mini PC comes with enough SATA for you to connect the NAS drives.
You can connect a DAS if you want, which connects over USB
Other option could be an N150 ITX board which comes with 6 SATA
or if the mini pc has 2 nvme slots we can use an nvme to sata adapter
Yep, How would one get out the SATA cables from mini pc, without cutting a hole or keeping the bottom open ?
One option could be, to 3d print a custom bottom panel, or side
Mini itself wouldnt have space to hold 3.5 HDD
Yep so else it will be an massive setup or get an sff
I’d be interested. This plus one of the N100/N150 ITX boards seems great for plex. Do you have the dimensions for this case? Need to check if it fits in my nightstand (It currently houses a SFF PC with a 20TB disk).
Good to hear, dont wait for it though…. I am working on it, but dont have a timeline, there are many trade barriers
Then you need a mini PC and a NAS box or an ATX cabinet with 4-8 drives capability .
