Hello Fellow DataHoarders,

I've been working on a new build, and while I've had to some searching, I believe it will be almost complete before Christmas if I am lucky.

Parts List:
-- CPU: Ryzen 1800X (left over from upgrade)
-- MB: ASRock Tachi x370 (from ebay, spoke with seller)
-- RAM: 32GB DDR4-3600 (from ebay, same seller, even tossed in a Ryzen 1700 for free)
-- FAN: AMD Wraith Spire
-- GPU: MSI 1650 4GB PCI-E 3.0
-- HBA: LSI SAS 9300-16i
-- SSD: 1x250gb (OS/Ubuntu/Unraid/Trunas Scale) 3x2tb Samsung
-- HDD: 6x12TB Ironwolf + 8x14tb WDC H530 Ultrastar + 6x16tb WDC H550 Ulrastar (mixed batch)
-- PSU: Corsair 2021e (1000w)
-- CASE: Fractal 7 XL (Can hold up to 20 3.5"

My hope is that this will last some time before I ever have to upgrade again. This build is for family so it no doubt have a plethora of entertainment to stream from it, this will also be the third NAS I will be having running, but this will also have a lot more connected people streaming 1080/4k from it nonstop.

I also got a free cpu of it, so I could put that in my next build. Total I spent around 550$ because I had most of the parts, the drives I bought some and the family pitched in and bought some. I have my own private nas that holds 15x16tb of drives + 3 ssds for cache. I also have a networked drive that runs to another nas that is used for temp storage, (i.e. downloads, video uploads, recordings, and if I have edit for someone they can just login and upload their footage to it.

They will be excited this Christmas and it will probably be full by Feburary.

I'm using both on board and HBA. The psu I have listed has 14 sata connectors for power, and on corsair site you can get sata sleeves to plug in additional drives.

I emailed Corsair and asked if you can get them from their website for about 16$ each.

I'm not doing those cheap molex to sata adapters either.
