Hi Guys, 

 

I´m trying to build a nas from some old sas drives i have got laying around.

the only problem is that i dont know witch hardware i should use that don't makes me bankrupt.

Ive already got 34 sas drives (22 2,5" and 12 3,5") and a lot of ddr3 and ddr2 ram.
everything else i would need to buy.


any suggestions ?

What are the rest of the specs?  A file server doesn't need much, grab an old CPU w/ integrated graphics and you're good.

 

Btw, no need to double post.

Id would hold my giant steam libary Backup and keep it updated .

 

And if i need a game to play i would just saturate 10 gig and dont need to Download it slowly.

Because my internet is very slow.

 

And it schould hold all my archival data.

HOw big are the dirves?

 

Id normally try to keep the steam games off the nas, just causes more trouble than its worth

THats just a case. What ram and cpu + board do you have?

How much do you get that case for?

 

Id probably just get fewer bigger new drives, and sell the old ones.
