Hi,
I am planning to build myself a nas. I am planning to store all my photos and videos there. These file are very important to me and I don't want to lose any of it. I will also run ubuntu server on it. I prob will run Plex on it but nothing crazy.
Here is a list of parts I am considering.
CPU: AMD 5600x
Memory: Supermicro 16GB DDR4-2666 PC4-21300 CL19 Single Channel ECC Memory Module MEM-DR416L-HL01 - Green
Graphic card: any graphic card (considering gt730/gt710)
Motherboard: ASRock X570M PRO4 AMD AM4 microATX Motherboard
Power: Seasonic Core GX-550
Startup SSD: Samsung 980 500gb
Storage DIsk: WD easystore 14tb hard drive x 6
I am thinking setting them into 2 disk groups in mirror set. 3 disks in each group. and within each group, they will be RAIDz1.
This will give me about 28tb of storage, which should be enough for 3-4 years for me. and it will give me 2 times read speed, and withstand 3 disks in a group failure without data loss.
My questions is:
1. Is this hardware setup going to work at all?
2. Is this hardware good enough for like 8-10 years? I will not be doing any heavy duty task on it.
3. Is this kind of disk raid setup good enough to prevent data loss even when rebuilding? I have read article and post about they lose data even in RAIDz2. If not what's optimal way of setting these 6 disk up?
4. Is there any suggestion on case? I am looking for a case that's minimal and take minimum amount of space on the ground. (I want a case to fit minimum of 8x 3.5HDD for further upgradability)
Any suggestion would be helpful for me to build and setup my first NAS. Thanks!
