Why assemble your own NAS?
Now there are also many finished NAS on the Internet, such as: Qunhui, Weiliantong, Wanyou, Ji space...
But in my opinion are not fragrant..... The main reason for this is that the cost performance is not high
As a garbage guy, I directly choose to buy used hardware for assembly!
Here's the explanation I got from Baidu Encyclopedia:
"NAS (Network Attached Storage) is literally a device connected to a network with data storage functions, so it is also called "network storage". ”
In the vernacular, the home NAS is a computer built at home that is open 365 days a year, and the NAS usually places a large-capacity hard disk for data storage, which can set up redundancy to prevent data loss. It can be convenient for data storage, such as: backup mobile phone photos, storage of high-definition movies, etc.
I mainly use it to store learning materials and back up mobile phone photos and videos for my family.
Chassis: Snail Interstellar A four-plate chassis is more suitable for me, there is a dust panel size is also relatively small, 85 to take!
Motherboard: ASRock's N3150-ITX, 212 win! (On-board 4 SATA3.0 + can be expanded by 2 SATA) Hard solution of a low code 4k is still OK
Power supply: Liren's DC-ATX power board (120W12VDC) + a failed router manufacturer's 12V4A power supply, 60 to win!
Here I am going to talk about it, this DC-ATX power supply does not need a cooling fan is very quiet, and it is produced by regular manufacturers, it is also relatively safe, more than those on the Internet that do not even have a brand of direct plug-in power to be much more assured!
Hard disk: 2 pieces of Western Digital's 4T purple disk made Raid1 (to ensure the safety of learning materials), a 500G green disk dedicated to storing surveillance video
Memory: Idle Fish 45 casually bought a ddr3-1600mhz-4G, 50 to take! (I'm too lazy to take the picture here)
So I used the hand speed of 30 years of singleness, and that was very fast, and it was assembled, lit up successfully, and it was easy to kill!

Finish the group Raid1
By the way, I installed a movie library with docker
Some of the APP on the Qunhui mobile phone (there are some I can't use so I didn't download it)
There are many more ways to play I will not introduce, you can go to the Internet to search for yourself!
Because the NAS is 365 days a year long, so the electricity bill is also what we need to pay attention to, to give you a calculation method of electricity costs, you can try to calculate the electricity cost of your NAS:
(Power ÷1000) × 24 × local electricity price = one day's electricity bill
Multiply another 365 and that's the electricity bill your NAS consumes all year round!
I don't recommend assembling nas with hardware from before 2010, it's really too old. And the energy efficiency ratio is too low (for example, for example, to complete a task at the same time. Old hardware requires 30W, while new hardware may only need 15W!!!!! You may be able to buy several NAS units a year when you spend on electricity.
It is highly recommended to use a regular brand of DC-ATX power supply!!!!!!

PS: the first article of the newcomer, welcome to comment on the like forward Oh, the later may update some videos about nas, everyone has any questions about the assembly or use of NAS can also ask questions in the comment area Oh, thank you for watching, love you
