Hey Lemmies,
I’m planning to build my own NAS/Server. Because it has been a while since I last build a computer from scratch, I was wondering if you people could tell me if my setup is sufficient for what I’m planning to do with it.
This is the hardware I’m planning to buy:
Case: SilverStone SST-SG13WB - Sugo Mini-ITX
Motherboard: ASRock J5040-ITX Mini-ITX Mainboard with Intel Quad-Core J5040ASRock J5040-ITX Mini-ITX
OS SSD: Crucial P3 Plus 500GB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe + glotrends M.2 NVMe PCIe x16 Adapter
Storage: 2 x Seagate IronWolf 4 TB, NAS HDD, 3.5 Zoll, 5400 U/Min, CMR, 64 MB Cache, SATA 6 GB/s, Expandable to 16TB or more
Power: be quiet! System Power 9 ATX PC 400W
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16 XMP 2,0
I want as a minimum a capable NAS for media streaming with Transcoding for 1080p in good quality and Backup/Storage of Data in a RAID setup for data security. On top of that a few services like PiHole, Home Assistant etc. would be nice.
Is this hardware sufficient or am I missing something? Can I expect good media streaming?
Thanks!

If I’m recall correct, Sugo 13 only has single 3.5 slot. I’d say look for Sugo 14 (2x3.5) or Node 304 (6x3.5)
Make sure all of your components fits to the planned case including power supply.
