Hello all,
I've bought the D-Link 320 and put in 2x2Tb disc in it and the harddrives are filling up ridiculously fast...
That is why I want to build my own NAS capable of holding 6 or 8 hdd's. I will basically only use it to stream movies in JBOD mode. If possible maybe play the movies directly from the NAS through XMBC or something but at the moment it's not really necessary. I've got my current NAS connected to a mediaplayer which plays all files fine... atm that is.
I'm kinda up to date with building a gaming system but a NAS seems like a totally different beast having to keep in mind the low energy cost and all. Formfactor wouldn't be much of an issue since i'd put it out of sight anyways.
I'd like to have Wake on Lan but think that goes through the software?
Low energy usage, especially in standby but guess thats where the WoL would come into play.
What would a diy nas consume in wattage in standby?
Recommendations on a build would be much appreciated.
I found this build:
Intel Celeron G530 Boxed
Fractal Design Define R3 Black Pearl USB 3.0
Seasonic G-serie 360W
Kingston KVR1333D3N9/8G
ASRock B75 Pro3-M
Kind regards,
