Looking to replace the guts of the ReadyNAS 4200v2 to something more energy efficient. I have 8 HDD in there now. It's running at 130w 24 hours a day. Figure if I can drop this down to 25 ish watts the upgrade would pay for itself in a year from the energy saved.
The motherboard in the nas now is a X8SI6-NI015 with integrated LSI SAS 2008.
Looking for recommendation on motherboard/cpu and whatever else needed to support 12HDD that would work with the case.
Ability to house VMs and host plex. I use it primarily for hosting files but also run a few docker containers in them as well.
