This page is all about my current home set up, and will be updated as I make changes.
My current NAS (Server) is an 1821+ it handles the majority of my services with ease with most media related containers running directly. Now when it comes to selecting drives I tend to be on the cheap side with the majority of drives being either used or refurbished.
Synology 1821+ (The Monster)
- 32 GB Crucial Memory
MTA9ASF2G72HZ-3G2R - 82 TB Storage (Raw)
- 2x1TB NVME RAID1 Volume
- 10Gbps Intel X540-T1 LAN
NUC11 (Victor)
For Plex, I have been on the NUC train for a good few years, I am currently using an 11th Gen i3 (NUC11TNK) It’s nice and low power but beefy enough to transcode a few 4k Remuxes for remote users. It was running Unraid however I required the licence for my new project so as of June 2024 its running Proxmox with Plex as an LXC Container.
- 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1115G4
- 16 GB Crucial Memory
- 1 TB Storage (1TB NVME)
- 2.5Gbps LAN
Unraid 1815+ (Pretorius)
My previous NAS was an 1815+ model that, unfortunately, suffered from the C2000 bug and subsequent electrical issues. As a result, it had to be retired in 2023. However, I am currently working on reviving the unit for a project I’m calling “Project Pretorius.” My goal is to breathe new life into the old NAS, so it can continue serving me for years to come.
- i3 7100u
- 8GB DDR3
- 256GB SSD
- 25TB (RAW)
