  • Earlier this year I built something similar, although with more space for hard drives:

    I used the following components:

    Mainboard Topton N100 (AliExpress) This is actually a BKHD 1264 NAS 136,69 €
    RAM 16 GB Crucial DDR5-4800 (Mindfactory) 40,78 €
    Case Jonsbo N2 (???) 138,83 €
    PSU 300 W bequiet SFX Power 3 (Mindfactory) 50,39 €
    M.2 system drives 2 X 128 GB Patriot P.300 (Mindfactory) 25,78 €
    392,47 €

    For storage I bought used 4 TB drives from ebay for around 40 € each.

    Now the system is running 5 x 4 TB in RAID 6 as well as a 256 SATA SSD I had laying around as cache.

    The system is using 25 Watts in idle with those 5 HDDs, 1 SATA SSD and 2 M.2 SSDs.

    It’s a bit more you’ve been asking for but this option would offer you more expandability down there road.
