Hi there STH,
Im trying to decide on an efficent Server/NAS setup for my home, I’ve been going around in circles and finaly I’ve decided I need to engage others with more experience than myself.
My goal is to host SMB shares, Plex, Sonar, Radar, Jellyseer and Home assistant OS. Currently im running all of these off my Desktop (AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 64GB, RTX3090) through HypeV. Needless to say this isnt energy efficent, uptime is an issue and I seem to be running into networking issues and I’m hoping to share these services with family once i sort out a more stable situation.
Im tossing up between a either a monolithic setup or mini pc + atx/matx machine with x4 3.5 sata drives. targeting around $1000-1500 AUD. Juggling Plex’s transcoding hardware requirements and the *arr’s needing to be VPN’d are the points that are confusing me about the whole setup.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
