Greetings.
Looking for inputs to build a compact DIY NAS.

  • Devices connected
    • Phones x 5
    • TV x 2
    • PC/Laptop x 4
  • 2 bays would be sufficient. With one drive mirroring the other .
  • Expecting to be as compact as possible
  • Will be stowing away up in the attic
  • To run 24x7

The components I have

  • PSU - CM V650
  • UPS - APC - 650W
  • Needs

    • Cabinet
    • Cooling solution
I also have
  • An I7 based Nuc with 16GB ram and 1TB+1TB SSD

Thanks for your time
