Hi all, im new here today, but have been visiting as a guest as my searches on google go me here, for obvious reasons, i want a NAS, well a better one than i have at the min, a WD cloud...
Over the course of a week i have been using my test machine a old HP small form factor pc, playing with the synology fw provided by here, must say on first glance really nice i like alot, my aim was to install and use plex along side rutorrent CP sonarr etc you get the idea, all new to me bar plex...
Iv seen a few sig's with there builds etc and its got me going now how i want my own NAS
1:- Silverstone DS380B 8 Bay NAS Chassis Small Form Factor 12 Drive Support 8 Hot-swappable No PSU (SFX)
2:- Intel Core i5 6600K Unlocked Skylake Desktop Processor/CPU <<< would my i7 4790k stock cooler fit on this into the above case? never used as have watercooling for it.
3:- Asus PRO GAMING Z170I Mini ITX Skylake Motherboard
4:- Corsair 16GB Dominator Platinum DDR4 3200MHz RAM/Memory Kit 4x 4GB
hdd whats best? i see red green purple WD drives? ill start off with maybe 2 x 6tb or 2x4tb more than enough space for now....
basically im at that point is this hardware OTT??? im using the NAS for my plex streaming/transcode, storage, cloud and at soome point use it for the cctv cameras , and anything else i find within the synology community that i like as im new...
any help or pointers/tips i will greatly appreciate them...
ps for anyone having issues with rutorrent like i did for 2 days....make a user called rutorrent in synology control panel then install rutorrent!!!
