Hi guys,
I'm a novice about NAS and i'm looking for some advices/suggestions. I've read a lot (!) of topics but i'm can't find what is the best solution for my needs.
Needs :
- Use : 4 HDD, Home file Server (3 users MAX but probably 1 most of the time), some download and Software Raid 1
- Budget : ~140€ (200€ Max) without HDD
- Requirements (in best the case) : A good MB/s (>20MB/S), quiet, low power
Also, i will buy a WD Red and want to install OMV (after i've try it on a Rasp'PI )
After my search, i found some solutions :
- Banana Pi : 1 SATA, 25 MB/S max, (but cheap and low power)
- Thin client : Is that ok with my requirements ?
- HP proliant : ?
- Desktop computer : Not my first choice, Great performance but high energy consumption and a little bit noisy
I always feel lost about pros and cons and you guys look like to have a lot of experiences...
So that's why i'm asking for help : in your opinion, what is the best solution for my requirements ?
Thanks for your help !
PS : Also thank for your great job !
