Hi!
I am tech enthustiastic and I love trying to do tech-things on my own (f.e. built all my computers, modded router etc. so I know something) but after 5 - 10 hours of research, I still find myself blown away about DIY-NAS.
I would like to build NAS myself because I want customizibility and freedom of "turn-key"-companies and their softwares, especially if they discontinue. End goal is cost-effective, maybe high-upfront cost with low uptime cost (low idle/use power consumption etc). Jellyfin/TrueNas/Unraid undecided.
Ideally my dream DIY-NAS would include 12 - 24 TB storage and I've been looking into Seagate Ironwolf-HDD's. I am fond of Fractal cases and I am thinking to use Fractal Node 304. Power Supply I am looking to buy Corsair or Seanonic platinum/titanium PSU. Are these ok or do you guys suggest to change something?
Biggest thing to think about is CPU/Motherboard/RAM. I've read much about i3-N305 but also read it lacks 2 PCIe-ports. Is it still ok? What about i3-13100F?
