How do you calculate the watt you need ?
I see only one Sata power supply on the pico psu. Can i add more ?

Well i found this
https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00178205.htmlBut i don't see how it works
Will it be enough in Watt ?

That would make a great NAS. But perhaps not a power efficient NAS?
With NVMe and more RAM it could be a great application server for virtualization.
How many HDDs do you intend to put into the case? Do you need a GPU? Do you need/want 10GbE? What PSU do you intend to use with the case?
How many Watts?
How important is high power efficency? From the title of this thread I assumed it was very important? And that the load would be very light, just streaming already encoded 4K media locally? That could be wrong?
If low power consumption really is important then why not simply a small power-sipping ARM device with a single drive and uncompromising death metal all the way?
Yeah the title may be confusingBy power efficient i mean less that a classic desktop.
here is what i had in mind
ASRock J5005-ITX
G.Skill RipJaws Series SO-DIMM 4 Go DDR4 2400 MHz => is 4go enough if some day i want to install a plex server ?
Kingston SSD A400 120 Go for the OS
Cooler Master Elite 110
be quiet! Pure Power 11 400W 80PLUS Gold
Seagate IronWolf 1 To to begin. I will take more if necessary in a second time -
What about an asrock motherboard with integrated cpu ?
4go ram
a nice case and rocknroll -

Almost any tiny NAS can stream 4K. As long as the media is encoded in a form that can be streamed directly. And as long as the NAS has SATA/USB3 and GbE. For instance my tiny ARM Odroid HC2s or RPi4 have no problems at all streaming most 4K media over my wifi as long as the bit rate is not too high.
The bottleneck then isn't how powerful the NAS is but how good your network is and how powerful the client is.
The problem comes if the NAS has to re-encode the 4K stream "on-the-fly". This might be necessary because the network or the client can't handle a very high bit rate. You might use wifi or a 1080p client that can't scale the stream efficiently.
Then you might need something like a powerful 64bit x86 NAS with a NVidia card for efficient re-encoding in real time.
It is also possible to re-encode media in advance. For instance create a lower bit rate 4K version or a 1080p version. Even a small NAS can handle that conversion fine, but it might take several times the normal playback time.
So you need to figure out if you need to re-encode your media in realtime before you can decide on what type of NAS you can buy. I suspect that your clients can scale in real time and that you don't need to re-encode in real time.
Unless you know better, I suggest you try with a small and cheap NAS first. If it isn't enough you can always use it for backups of a bigger NAS. I recommend using something with SATA or NVMe, not just USB3.
From many threads here you can see that for instance RPi4 with USB3 can be very problematic and disappointing. But my personal experience tells me that with carefully selected additions and config even a small RPi4 might be more than powerful enough.
I have 10gbit optical fiber network. I think network is ok.
The goal is that the nas only do the storage part.
Then i have nvidia shield that can read video that come from the nas -
Hello
I'm new in the nas world
I'm looking for hlep to make a OMV build which will be able to stream 4k video from kodi.
thank for your suggestions
