NAS BUILD

[Zero_Hour]

Hello LTT community, I am in the process of building a NAS! As exciting as that seems I'm here for some help. I have a pretty decent build so far but Id like to see if the community has something better. 

REQUIREMENTS

- At least 4 TB of storage (I'm like my NAS like I like my women, bigger and fatter) - More is acceptable.

- Hot swap capable 

- Raid 5 support

- Micro ATX case, going in a closet or under my feet while I'm playing smite to warm em up. 

- 700 $ Budget 

 

GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN BUILDING ( Will do a build log once parts are ordered )

You can get rid of the one of the 4tb hdd's to save cost.

Id suggest runing something like fedora server with btrfs for the os, but you can do what ever you want.
