Hello there, i’m looking to upgrade my 10 years old NAS/server. I already have the HDD and the case. But i have difficulties to chose motherboard, PSU, CPU & RAM.

So far i’m looking for :

AMD CPU, +12 threads
Because it’s already a RAID6 I’m looking for a bunch of SATA ports, maybe a LSI ? Which one ? And 2 NVME slots for the Motherboard.
More than 16GB of ram, IF possible ECC
All of this available in western Europe
I’m aiming for a budget between 600€ and 900€ for those 4 components.

(I do know why i’m aiming at this kind of hardware. But I have stopped being hardware enthusiast like 9 years ago and I really need some help for this)

Have a nice day and a nice weekend :)

(If it’s the wrong place to ask for hardware advises I’m sorry)


Edit to reflect questions :

  • 8 SATA ports is a minimum, more is good (that’s why i’m looking at LSI)
  • 1Gb/s Network is a minimum, 2.5Gb/s is cool
  • The Motherboard should be at max ATX format, not larger

Have a great day

    Most boards do support it unofficially, AFAIK.

    In my Asrock B650E BIOS (a consumer ITX board), there’s literally an option for enabling/disabling DIMM ECC.
