Optiplex 9020 MT D.I.Y. NAS - A Sanity Check
Hello all,
I am currently taking spare parts and an old Optiplex to put together a PC NAS build. I am new to the world of self-hosted storage and have done my best to make a capable NAS that didn't require additional funds. I am planning on using this for media storage (pictures, home videos, etc.), and movie/show streaming through Jellyfin. I don't know if I want to copnfigure my hdds in RAID1 or RAID5... Anyways, listed below are the components I've gotten together for this build.
Looking for any advice or reccomendations on OS or if these parts are better suited for other applications.
MBD: Optiplex 9020 MT
CPU: i7-4790
GPU: EVGA Superclocked GeForce GTX 960
SSD: Samsung 870 Evo 250gb (boot drive)
HDD: 4x 4TB HGST Ultrastar He8 Helium
RAM: 4x 8GB G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 1600 C10
PSU: Cougar VTX 500W 80+ Bronze
**NOTE: I have all required adaptors and splitters for the motherboard, drives and fans.**
Thank you in advance!
