Over twelve years ago, I built my very first DIY NAS. At the time, I had a very specific and unconventional idea in mind for my DIY NAS to be: small, with a passively cooled CPU, room for about 6 SATA drives, without breaking the bank. A bit surprisingly, I stumbled on a discounted motherboard that met this criteria, the ASUS E35M1-I Fusion. The motherboard met my criteria and it wound up being incredibly inexpensive, so naturally I bought it!| Butter, What?!
I reached out to a creator of 3D-printable computer cases, makerunit, to ask if he was interested in designing a 3D-printed NAS case. And before I knew it, he designed two fantastic DIY NAS cases!| blog.briancmoses.com
I implement an off-site backup using a Mini PC, a 20TB USB HDD, TrueNAS SCALE, Tailscale, and some space at Pat's house.| blog.briancmoses.com
I rebuilt my on DIY NAS in an awesome 3D-printed case (the MK735) featuring TrueNAS SCALE, a Supermicro X11SDV-4C-TLN2 motherboard, an Intel Xeon D-2123IT CPU, 64GB ECC DDR4 RAM, a pair of Crucial MX500 1TB SSDs, and more!| blog.briancmoses.com
