What do people use for a NAS nowadays?

- Touche 2y agoNo sorry, I meant which NAS are people using to run music servers like Blackcandy. I used to run a FreeNAS but need to upgrade badly.
- pimeys 2y agoI've been using TrueNAS for six years already. I've built a custom server - Intel dual core Atom CPU - Passive cooling for the CPU, two fans for the HDDs - A small Supermicro motherboard with IPMI and six SATA connectors - 16 gigabytes of ECC RAM - Six 14 terabyte hard disks - Fractal Design Node case - ZFS with RAIDz2 But this setup is getting old, I've had a few errors already from the CPU. My plan next year is to build a rack server with a modern AMD Ryzen CPU, 64 GB of RAM, Proxmox with TrueNAS scale in a virtual machine and re-use the disks I have in the current setup. Proxmox is much nicer for virtual machines and LXC, and if you need Docker, you can run them in the TrueNAS Scale VM.

- Sphax 2y agoHardware wise I bought a TerraMaster F4-423 used last year for about 300€. It's a great device. Software wise, I use Fedora Server, although if I had to reinstall now I would use AlmaLinux because I don't need the new stuff coming with Fedora Server on my NAS.
