3 months agoEarlier this year I built something similar, although with more space for hard drives:
I used the following components:
| Mainboard | Topton N100 (AliExpress) This is actually a BKHD 1264 NAS | 136,69 € |
| RAM | 16 GB Crucial DDR5-4800 (Mindfactory) | 40,78 € |
| Case | Jonsbo N2 (???) | 138,83 € |
| PSU | 300 W bequiet SFX Power 3 (Mindfactory) | 50,39 € |
| M.2 system drives | 2 X 128 GB Patriot P.300 (Mindfactory) | 25,78 € |
| 392,47 € |
For storage I bought used 4 TB drives from ebay for around 40 € each.
Now the system is running 5 x 4 TB in RAID 6 as well as a 256 SATA SSD I had laying around as cache.
The system is using 25 Watts in idle with those 5 HDDs, 1 SATA SSD and 2 M.2 SSDs.
It’s a bit more you’ve been asking for but this option would offer you more expandability down there road.
Hey, great for you! Which Surface do you have and did you get the camera(s) working properly?
