What capacity do you need?

 

Also, are you aware that 2 HDDs are going to cost like... 50-75% of that budget, depending on capacity?

[DaltonM]

You want just an enclosure or one with HDD already installed? You could get a nice enclosure with maybe one reliable HDD now and add more later.

[Tedol]

for the start 2 TB will be enough 

[Xenift]

With your price point it is better to get something prebuilt like WD has to offer.

 

Around $350 onwards on a budget would then a NAS build make more sense.

[DaltonM]

Also, how will you be connecting this? Through a network? Or directly to your pc?

Need any redundancy? What will be its purpose?

connected will be by network

THIS

is what happens when you try to build a NAS with at least 4 sata 6GB/S.

No perfect but it is good. OR you can spend a bit more on a WD Black 2tb drive.

[Ominous]

Also, how often will you use the NAS?  If you are running it all the time, I assume you would RAID 1 the storage since it would be as cheap as it gets.  This is obviously just in case one of the drives fails.  You are better safe than sorry.

You don't really need enterprise-grade HDs to a home NAS that's going to run 1-2 drives.

Get a WD MyCloud drive or something like that: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VJYTBME/ref=psdc_13436301_t2_B00RX87LJK

 

If you want a beefier one, especially if you don't need any redundancy.

I question if op even needs a new rig for storage. @OP what is the specs of ur old pc.

[Xenift]

I question if op even needs a new rig for storage. @OP what is the specs of ur old pc.

The problem usually with old systems is that they do not have enough sata ports.

 

But if he has a decent one with 2 he could get the drives first and implement the NAS at a seperate occasion.

But as of now, a full NAS rig is impossible with that budget, is what i am saying.

Atom/Celeron motherboards are also a nice solution.

 

Especially this one: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Atom/X10/A1SA7-2750F.cfm

 

But that's WAY over the alloted budget.

There are 2-bay, 4-bay and 8-bay solutions if you want, however your budget is WAY too low for this.

for future !

Sometime it better to make cluster than buy a new system

430w PSu and 4 Gb of Ram... it not overkill for nas ? 

[Guest]

430w PSu and 4 Gb of Ram... it not overkill for nas ? 

 

1GB of RAM per 1TB of ZFS array + overhead for FreeNAS. It's not an overkill by any means, especially if the array will be expanded in the future. As far as 430W CX is concerned - take into consideration that CX is a shitty PSU, I'd rather go with something better and more efficient. 

 

Face it. You have 200$ for the entire thing. You don't have any wiggle room here. You won't build a NAS for $200. If you have any disks, you can use this one:

 

http://www.amazon.com/Synology-Station-Diskless-Attached-DS215j/dp/B00OZ0CTAU/ref=lp_13436301_1_8?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1453306346&sr=1-8

 

If you don't, try this:

 

http://www.amazon.com/Synology-DiskStation-Diskless-Private-DS214se/dp/B00FWURI8K/ref=lp_13436301_1_16?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1453306346&sr=1-16

 

If you want more expandability (however, I don't have ANY experience whatsoever with that device, so it's your own risk):

 

http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Diskless-Network-Attached-STCU100/dp/B00LM6LIDO/ref=sr_1_28?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1453306528&sr=1-28&keywords=4-bay

 

They're not the greatest out there, they won't work wonders, but they will work. 

 

Network Attached Storage ain't cheap.

[Tedol]

ok, i will save some money and buy Seagate NAS 4-Bay 4TB 

[Captain_WD]

Hey there Tedol,

 

I can suggest that you check what WD has to offer and see if any of the solutions meet your needs and budget. It would really depend on how many drive bays, how much storage space, what RAID type (if any) and what purpose are you looking to use the NAS for. Here's a link: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=W36M7u

 

Feel free to ask if you have any questions
