Hi !

I started my selfhosted journey with a synology nas. But the nas was crap, so I ended using it only as storage and backup solution, providing NFS shares. I added SBC like raspberry pi, then upgraded it to a elitedesk running debian.

I would like to upgrade my nas to a more powerful device but I’m also considering adding a sata extension dock and rely only on my elitedesk minipc instead of two devices.

Can I get remarks and advices?

Thanks!

    Encryption slows it down a lot. It’s just a Turion II

        Soldered in there :) also max 8 GB memory. I only paid like $30 for this box 6 years ago including the $10 for four used drives, I’m not expecting it to run Crysis.

        To be extra clear, it was released in 2010 or something. This thing is 15 years old!
