Product Information

Yes, many mini ITX NAS cases support RAID configurations. The specific RAID configurations supported will depend on the hardware and software being used, but most mini ITX NAS cases will support at least RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5. What type of cooling solutions is available for mini ITX NAS cases?

Now I realize they’re not huge capacities, but even four 4TB SAS drives in a RAID-5 array will give you 12TB of useable storage. If you need more, double that and you get 24TB of storage, your still way ahead of others buying SATA drives. Honestly, I didn’t do one. This is a home NAS, the most ‘stress’ it’s going to get is if 4 people decide to copy a 4K video at the same time. I am confident enough in the build, thermal design and the choice of components that I can skip this step. The SilverStone CS381 is a chassis we first saw from SilverStone at Computex 2018. It promises an 8-bay storage platform for mATX servers with large (quiet) fans and room for features such as GPUs. Silverstone CS381 MATX Front Bays, 2x PCIe 4 M.2 NVMe 2280, PCIe Gen 4×16 Upgrade Slot, Intel Core 12th Gen i5/i7/i9 CPU, 16-64GB DDR4 Memory, 2.5Gbe Port, 10Gb x2 Prots (Intel i9 Version), KVM, ZFS or EXT4 Setup, 3-5yr Warranty

The Silverstone DS380 case requires an SFX PSU which is a smaller version of the standard ATX power supply. I recommend the following SFX PSUs for the Silverstone DS380 case : The only thing of note is that the supposedly ‘matched’ constant speed silent fans are running at different speeds (1000rpm and 1100rpm). The fan is supposed to run at 1050 RPM so I assume a that a tiny variation in speed, probably due to static pressure, is causing one to round up and one to round down.

I went with a Ryzen 7 based CPU, and found this motherboard to be a very good fit (if you're not wanting to go with a proper server board): Gigabyte B450M DS3H WiFi During our review, we found that there were a few updates, but that system still works exceptionally well. SilverStone CS381 Front Drive Bays Never buy used SAS drives as they would have been run flat out for the entire warranty period (often 5 years) You can buy 3.5” or 2.5” drives, or even 2.5” SSD if your budget allows, but don’t mix them in the same RAID array or port/cableThis was perhaps the most logical option. There are a lot of Xeon E-2100/ Xeon E-2200 series platforms on the market, especially in mATX. Cooling is not an issue here since there are many low power options. Intel Xeon E 2276G Cover Most of the time spent on this build was online, researching and sourcing the parts for the lowest possible cost. For a long time I had 2 possible compute builds in mind, with similar (pre-owned) costings: For an always-on NAS server you don’t really want a power hungry, high performance processor, you’re better off with a power efficient model with between 2 and 6 cores and pulling less than 50 watts. Data throughput is much more important than CPU speed for NAS servers, which is why we spend the money on our RAID card and SAS drives.
