If this is the case, I'd suggest you get an appliance instead.
ASUSTOR (and others) make NASes with Intel processors and upgradeable RAM. In addition to having a wide selection of apps/servers, they can do Docker and VirtualBox and can be up and running in a matter of minutes.
- pdimitar 8y agoThese look well-supported. A bit bigger than what I hoped for but if they are indeed whisper-quiet then it's well worth it. Thanks!
- slantyyz 8y agoI don't know that they're whisper quiet though. You'll probably hear the clicking of the mechanical hard drives when they're doing I/O. I'm not sure you can avoid size when you're dealing with multiple NAS appropriate drives, i.e. those in the 3.5" form factor. My 2 drive unit is about the size of a small toaster.
- pdimitar 8y agoI don't mind the drives much but the constant stronger fan noise from CPU / GPU / motherboard can really tick me off. For my NAS I would bet that I would have to put it in a storage room, yep. Especially having in mind I would want to expand it with further drives in the future.
