Looking for (ideally) a motherboard and CPU combo, possibly with some RAM.
Want to get an idea of what I would pay used as opposed to shelling out for new stuff.
Have to replace a Synology NAS (with non-Synology hardware) and want to keep the outlay as low as possible.
- Form factor could be uATX, ATX, or possibly ITX
- only needs two RAM slots
- would like to keep power consumption as low as reasonably possible.
- one or more eSATA connector preferred (to connect existing Synology expansion bay)
- would prefer an NVMe slot, but could make do with a SATA connection for an old SSD I have somewhere around
- needs to have at least five internal SATA ports for the drives from the DS1515+
Thanks in advance for any offers
Found a new, open box mini PC which should do the trick. Thanks for looking
