god forbid you want to make a redundant array of INEXPENSIVE drives.

Show me your power usage.

a must have for these itx nas builds: thin sata cables. there are ones from silverstone and supermicro. sas to sata, sata only, whichever you prefer. but, beware. i bought the silverstone ones and they are nice but the cable is coming from the side of the sata connector that goes into the motherboard. so you will need to bend them if you have sata oorts on your motherboard one right next to another. really silly design, it would be better to have the cable coming straight from the top of the connector, but then that would be an issue for those vertically stacked sata ports on the mobo. i didnt try the supermicro ones since they are obscenely expensive in my neck of the woods. i managed to squeeze the silverstone ones and for now, knock on woods, they are fine.

IOCREST M.2 might help, if there's a need to reserve pcie slot for other uses. But that'll require an itx mobo with at least 2 or preferably 3 M.2 slots. Jonsbo kinda dropped the ball a bit for not having this case supporting matx, but having few extra inches here & there. Having said that, my N3 build has been doing well, albeit not without difficulties.

very noiiceee

Would the Thermalright Silver Soul 110 fit okay in place of the cooler you picked for this build?

i have been planning for a month to build on N3 case. as you said it takes a lot of planing

Hi, I've been hearing some shade about those MDD drives. How are they holding up?

i like to know where you get your drive at

you should use the stock cooler, or a general small copper contact, aluminum thermal heatsink cooler, rather than the thermalright AXP-120, it's too big and waste of money

The starps on the drives are oriented differently - ocd hell! Great video though :)

If you don't need the onboard wifi, you can replace it with a miniPCIE to SATA card which has two to four SATA ports. It's usually just a single PCIE 3.0 lane, but that is capable of handling two 2.5" SATA SSDs, leaving your PCIE x16 slot free for future upgrades, like a 10gig NIC. I chose the Jonsbo N2 for my NAS, and I plan to use a pico PSU to leave room for a 3D printed 4 bay SSD cage at the back, and I have a QM2 combo card with a 10G NIC and two m.2 drive slots onboard.

Flawed. You need 8 drives and more SSDs. There are some sata port header motherboard extender with ECC mini ITX motherboards for small business. We need 8 x native SSD ports including 2 x NVM slots. Windows Server 2023 Standard will do everything.
