Hey! I hope this is the right place for this post.
I need some help and advice. So I am wanting to set up a NAS/Media Server/some way of watching youtube and/or other websites (using chrome browser) on my TV.
I have a 3 Terabyte 7200 rpm HDD I can use as well as extra (full sized) DDR4 RAM and 2 samsung 250 GB SSD's.
I'm looking for a pcpartpicker type guide that can support 4 drives (I will be buying 3 more 3TB HDDs maybe?) I would like RAID 10 in the smallest case.
That would be ideal, I think!
I'm looking at this guide right now: https://www.androidauthority.com/cheap-diy-nas-server-3348392/ and it says I could use DAS(??) with this mini PC https://www.amazon.com/TRIGKEY-Mini...0C15GD3V8?tag=at88bnp-20&th=1&geniuslink=true
But I'm also looking into using a good older i7 Ultra Small Form Factor computer I already have, but using that Direct-Attached-Storage (DAS)? I have never heard of this technology before I started searching for NAS/Media server options. Does anyone have experience with this? I imagine its not as quick as a Raid 10, or can you add on all 4 required HDDs? The USFF is too small to install a new HDD and has a 500 GB one right now.
I would also like to access it remotely with SSH or something if possible.
What would you do? Thanks in advance!
