I'm currently searching for a new NAS for a small voluntary organisation.
What will it be used for?
* about 200GB of files currently, most of them photos and pdfs
* file sharing and automatic synchronization(maybe Syncthing) for multiple people (up to 5)
* ftps server
* automatic snapshots
* maybe OpenVPN server
We are quite cost limited and I'm trying to find a comparable FreeNAS hardware for some commercial NAS systems like;
* Qnap TS231P2-1G 244€ https://geizhals.at/qnap-turbo-station-ts-231p2-1g-a1671490.html
* Qnap TS231P2-4G 313€ (same model, but 4GB instead of 1GB RAM)
* Qnap TS251A-2G 270€ https://geizhals.at/qnap-turbo-station-ts-251a-2g-a1495724.html?hloc=at
So my setup would look like
CPU: Intel G4400 - 48€
Mainboard: MSI H110M ECO - 58€
RAM: 1x Adata 8GB DDR4-2133 - 72€
Powersupply: Seasonic ECO-430 - 42€
Case: Sharkoon MA-A1000 - 35€
Additional: Artic F12 TC cooler - 5€
Disks: 2x 2TB WD Green - existing, will be in mirror
currently not included: USB boot drive
I'm looking at 267€ total, maybe I can strech out limit to 350€.
But besides that we need to set up a robust non cloud backup solution, which has priority above better hardware (e.g. two raspberries which sync the data over rsync and make a borg snapshot and another manual one, all off-site).
This is also the reason why I will not upgrade to "true" nas grade disks, as a proper backup has a higher value to us.
What do you guys and gals think about this setup?
