See if you can get a used Quadro P4000 from someone local to you (eBay in the US, for example). I got mine for about $80. It's basically just a GPU for video encoding, but it's done a fantastic job handling everything I've thrown at it, and it's a huge upgrade over a CPU.
You can also post on the c/[email protected] community (I hope that link works! Here's another if it didn't)
Usualy over at reddit selfhosted sent the user asking for diy nas over to the r/NAS but it is still private and there is no lemmy chanel yet. But because of this I tried "hardware" first ^^
The quadro p4000 could be a bit over the top. And it lacks the rest of a pc ๐
I have bought this https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc4/ . I like HardKernel, they have really good support. My Nas is very cheap and thanks to armbian I have exactly what I wanted.
Are you not uo to building a PC to have lots of storage connections, 2.5Gb LAN, running TrueNAS?
Would a Pine64 board not work for you? The ROCKPro64?
No, atm only a few users (maybe 4-5 at once) should connect at the same time. The 2,5Gb lan is only a nice to have because the board comes with it.
I have only seen 2.5Gb on ATX boards, is it available on SoC? Does a Pine64 board work for you?
I guess i missunderstood. The board I linked got 2xGb-Lan not 2,5gb lan. Sorry.
It seems like the pine64 is based on android right? I planned to use "debian server" or "trueNas scale". Don't know if this is compatible. But since the raspi always needed its own version of every software because of its cpu architecture (ARM) I wanted to switch to the more common X64 platform. So I can use the usual software version for for example docker.
Pine64 is an open hardware ARM chip. It can BSD, Linux, maybe Windows On ARM, I see no point in using it for Android, but you can run the Arm version of any BSD or Linux.
There is no Pine version like Pi, anything that works on ARM will run natively on Pine64.
