NAS Data Storage | File server built on the desktop version, what do you think?
Good day, I'll try to be brief.
The bottom line, about a year ago, I got the idea to create my own file exchange / file storage service.
I decided to start small, namely to build servers on the Desktop version. (Computer components).
And what is the question itself?
The question is:
What components are not unimportant besides drives.
Namely.

It all depends on the planned load on this server. If you are going to put it on the Internet, then Core2Duo of the T6600 type and 2-4 gigabytes of RAM will be more than enough. And a disk controller is not required for a home - just find a motherboard with more SATA ports. And fault tolerance can also be provided at the software level, for example, using the FreeNAS distribution kit that uses ZFS.
In principle, if you are going to drive files over gigabit in LAN, then Core2Duo and 4 gigabytes of RAM will still be enough in abundance :-) Yes, and there is no point in using RAID to increase IOPS on disks. Your bottleneck will still not be disks, but the network.
