In the past I;ve always used an HP Microserver for NAS duties, but mine is a bit long in the tooth and it;s time for an upgrade. The current Gen10 Plus is way overpriced for my needs....

So - what kind of things would you recommend?

  • Low noise and small form factor are important
  • I will be running VMs - around 16GB RAM is probably fine for current needs
  • I run Vembu on the NAS to back up devices and ODrive to send photos to Amazon storage
  • I have a Plex server, but mainly only for serving up music to my Sonos system but transcoding ability would be nice. 4k not necessary but a nice to have.
  • I have 4 x 4TB Seagate Ironwolf drives available
Case-wise - the Fractal Design Node 304 maybe? I mainly want some recommendations for Mobo/CPU/Cooling
