  • Just fyi the pro model usually around $850 ish (when on sale, amazon) if you need more powerful processor

  • If you're not going to use the OS why wouldn't you just DIY the hardware from a refurb PC?

      everytime i see a NAS deal i think this

      OS is perfectly fine for me. If I don't mention it people will have a sook and the same if I do.

      I'd go purpose-built NAS hardware for lower power consumption and (hopefully) lower noise.

        Power costs vs upfront hardware costs, throw your calculations at me.

        My nearly 15 year old Xeon box is still almost silent and I have 20TB raw of old drives jammed in (plus OS and OS backup). It is essentially free at this point. Just looking for the right software to replace Photos and Drive for the Mrs and I.

        Will be keeping it offsite at a friendly location.

          I doubt your xeon box is idling anywhere near 5w or less.

          • +1

            @JerraJones: In all fairness i doubt any NAS is 5 watts while running, and the Xeon can probably do the same sleep states as a NAS.

            Under any load a modern CPU will certainly use less power, but 5 watts is a bold claim.

            • @virtual81: Without drives yes, with drives no chance lol.

            • @virtual81: Yeah 5w with drives spun down, otherwise drives themselves would be around 5w each.

          • +1

            @JerraJones: The only thing idling at 5w is my thin client turned PiHole.

            Why all the negs people? I asked a genuine question.

      • I mean, if you go with any kind of modern Intel on the refurb setup you will system idle at <5-10w anyways, and you would be already trying to get that for the quicksync encoder.

        Only the 14nm and older stuff (and any AMD) will idle a lot higher for a desktop setup.

        I would still get the TerraMaster because IPMI in a NAS is extremely important to me.
