![]() ![]() Many mITX motherboards only have 4 SATA ports, which could be expanded via a M.2 to SATA daughterboard on a second M.2 slot. Might add SSD SATA drive(s) in the future. Planning on using a PicoPSU with "external" DCDC brick (probably mounted inside the case instead of the SFX PSU) for power consumption reasons and a future possibility of powering the server directly via DC (solar/battery bank). Samsung 980 PRO 2TB M.2 NVMe as partitioned OS/VM/cache drive (leftover from my SSF Desktop Build and doesn't sell for what I paid for it, so might as well use it here even though it's a bit overkill) I already have and want to use the following hardware:ĥx 3,5" SATA HDDs (2x 18TB, 2x 3TB, 1x 1TB) I've become a bit of a AMD/SFF fanboy, having built a 5600X/RX6800 gaming PC in a DAN A4-SFX case recently, however because of QuickSync the server will be Intel based. Jellyfin (QuickSync - 4k Remuxes mostly direct play on 4k TV, in case of transcoding only one stream)įuture plans may have some security cameras in stock, either with Blue Iris in a Windows VM.:/, or with Shinobi etc. LANCache VM2: Home Assistant OS VM3: Ubuntu Server with MergerFS, SnapRAID, (maybe ZFS for two drives) and Docker containers: VM1: Router (preferable even Switch) with NICs passthrough Software wise the following is planned for now, with Proxmos VE on bare metal: I value less power consumption (0,35€/kWh.) over redundancy currently. Single point of failure is okay, I use the network alone, only I will suffer if any of the services (including Internet) goes down ). I want to combine as many appliances as possible into one. It's supposed to be a "Perfect Media Server"/NAS/Router/Smart Home Hub/Hypervisor in a Small Form Factor footprint. Efficient power consumption is preferred. Extra SATA ports could be supplied by a M.2 adapter (if second M.2 slot available), extra SATA or NICs could be supplied by (low profile) PCIe card. TL DR: Looking for a Intel based mITX motherboard/CPU combo recommendations with one M.2 Slot, at least 6 SATA ports, QuickSync capable and a couple of 2,5gig NICs. I finally want to build my own home server after outgrowing my Synology DS220+ (2x 18TB HDDs, 8GB RAM upgrade) on which I'm running quite some Docker containers and a Home Assistant VM.
