NAS

Table of Contents

My current NAS (NixOS) is starting to show signs of wear (constant high CPU / RAM usage). It might be time to start looking into another setup.

1. Research

1.1. Framework Mainboard

Maybe I can use my old Framework mainboard as a nas?

A similar project someone has undertaken.

1.2. Dell R610

I have an old Dell r610 that might be usable?

It has 6 ports for 2.5 inch drives, I semi-recently replaced the RAID controller with a DELL YK838 Perc 6ir Sas Raid Controller which can do JBOD.

To get full usage of the disks, maybe I could PXE boot.. or do root-on-ZFS.
