OLD i5 Mini to Server with TB raid, DIY, or prefab?

#1
I have some older i5 Mac Minis and they feature 16GB RAM can handle two internal SSD’s feature TB2, and I’m wondering if I wouldn’t be better off converting them to a roll my own setup vs. either off the shelf or DIY as you’ve outlined on your YouTube. I want to get away from using OpenCore Legacy Patcher and I know *nix runs insanely well on these well appointed systems I’m just not sure how a franken-nas would compare in price and performance to something more traditional in either DIY or prefab.

The volume of information you present is awesome and much appreciated but I find that after watching several of your videos (and numerous videos about the same topic from other people) I’m left with more uncertainty than not.

I’d love to have the option of adding 10G if I can ever afford it but I’m also not sure if getting “future proof,” is the more prudent approach than just getting cheaper for now and addressing the issue later when I’ve run out of expansion options.

THANK YOU!
