Hello there toms hardware forum users, I have some questions about the compatibility of the drives on a Nas system for me and my 2 roommates that I came up with. Summarizing my build :
• Ryzen 5 2400G - got this from my friend who's upgrading
• Gigabyte GA-B450M-DS3H - also got this from my buddy
• 16GB ECC DDR4 RAM
• 450w 80+ MWE cooler master PSU
• ×2 16GB Intel Optane m.2 2280 pcie 3.0 nvme SSD in raid - to store windows 10
• ×2 6TB WD RED PRO SATA III in raid 0 - storing and streaming media
• ×1 1TB WD BLUE m.2 SSD - storing games & gaming off of
• ×1 128gb WD GREEN - since I have this one from my old rig AND the m.2 & HDD is constantly hosting files, I thought of using this one to download the media so that I can send the files to the HDD & m.2 later
+ Reason I'm using windows 10 instead of freenas - I'm more familiar with this OS + I can update my steam game on the NAS itself
+ Intel Optane pcie ssd - since I have 1 of this lying around from my gaming rig after I got crossfire set-up on it. Should I buy 1 more so that I won't have any problems getting windows 10 onto it?
Question :
Are the 4 kind of storages even compatible with the mobo or each other for that matter ?
Can the Intel Optane SSD be used as a regular fast storage for putting the OS on it ? Moreover is it okay if I have a Ryzen processor?
Do I really need to use the 128gb SATA SSD as an offloader for the drives ?
Thanks for reading this thread, have a good day my dudes. Also any improvement to this build would be fine
