I'm planning to build my first proper home NAS and I'm looking for some advises regarding my planned build.
So far I've come up with this:
At first I was planing to go with HP Microserver Gen8 (G1610t), but it has kinda limited upgrade path and the price difference is around 150 - 180 euros with same kind of disk setup. So I'd rather do it properly right away.
Biggest question mark at the moment is the ASRock motherboard as it is quite new and I was unable to find any reviews or builds which were using it. Also the Crucial memory wasn't listed on the list of supported memory, but I couldn't find any of the listed memories from reasonable re-sellers.
The usage will be mainly daily/weekly backups of 3-4 computers, some media and storage of pictures and important data. I was planing to use Raidz2 but I'm open to suggestions on that part also.
So basically this is "build check", is there something I should do differently?
