Posted April 29 Good Evening LTT folks. I am trying to figure out what would be best for my little NAS Setup. I am running a cw-adln-nas board with a Intel N100 CPU and 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 2 20TB ironwolf pros. I basically need to know what you all would run with this type of setup. I really so not plan on running anything in a VM or anything except maybe a pfSense setup since this board has 4 2.5gb ports. Any recommendations would be helpful as this isn't hardware to run tons of stuff on.

Posted April 29 The two big home NAS OSes are TrueNAS Scale and Unraid. Personally, I run TrueNAS Scale and have been happy with it. I sold my soul for ProSupport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been running it for over 5 years now and it has been great for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 29 Author So I have used truenas scale in the past but I didn't know with just having the 2 drives how it would be and I am thinking it wouldn't be good with an N100 Intel cpu that is so low powered CPU: Ryzen 7 3800X RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance PRO RGB SL 3600mhz GPU: RTX 3060TI SSD: WD Black 1TB NVME SDD: WD Black 500GB NVME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That CPU is plenty fast for a NAS. Don't virtualize pfsense under your NAS tho, thats not a great idea. I think TrueNAS is a great option as well, especially if you have experience with it.

Posted April 29 Author i think my biggest issue is I only have 2 of the 20TB drives and i dunno they are expensive lol. I paid $200 a piece for them and I figured it might be easier using unraid and working up to larger drives but then again i like that truenas is free ... hmm decisions to make CPU: Ryzen 7 3800X RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance PRO RGB SL 3600mhz GPU: RTX 3060TI SSD: WD Black 1TB NVME SDD: WD Black 500GB NVME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
