Hello,
I have had a HP microserver n36l with 4 SATA 3.5″ HDDs for many years.
I've been thinking for a while about setting up a NAS based on intel n100 or n305, with a couple of ethernet Gb2.5 interfaces. Mostly for storage, and dockers, also transcoding.
I was in love with the Helios64 but the project was abandoned and it was not x86.
I am thinking about a budget of about 250€.
I am looking at several options:
Odroid H4(+,ultra)
topton/cwwk 6xSata board
ASUS Prime N100I-D D4
Mini pc
like GMKtec NucBox G3 (Intel N100 107mm x 107mm x 28mm))
Some of them would need expansion cards, or additional power supplies for the HDDs.
What would you choose and why?
