Thanks for the advice. So I controlled the PSU that I linked before and it has 3 sata power connectors, so that amounts to 3 x 3 = 9 HDD. I found this "MSI MAG A650GL Alimentatore 650W, 80 Plus Gold", it has 4 sata power connectors but only 2 x cables, I recently (6 months ago) bought this...

I'll read all the documentation about truenas and see if it's suitable for me, I'll also check UnRaid to see if its more suitable and to check if it's ok to add more HDD to the array, but I dont really like the idea of the OS always booting from a USB.

The drives in question are these WD Ultrastar SATA Enterprise HDD 7200 RPM, 14 TB. They are refurbished. Here is the link: WD 14TB. TBH I havent thought about the configuration, do you have suggestions? For the PSU I was thinking a 500W from EVGA.

Helllo, I'm building a mini NAS using a Fractal Node 804, which supports Micro ATX and Mini ITX motherboards. I’ve chosen the Asus Prime B660M-A WiFi D4, as it seems to fit my build. Some other info about the build: I'll be using a 12th-gen Intel CPU for transcoding, so I won’t need a...
