--> Quick Questions Quick Replies Why would I want a NAS/Homeserver? If you ask why, then you don't need it.
>I want a NAS/HTPC/Plex what should I get? RPi3 or Odroid XU4/HC1. Odroid upper models has USB 3 and USB bus separated from the Ethernet one.
>B-But muh ARM Then check the onboard x86 like J4105B-ITX, J4205B-ITX or J4205-ITX. All of them have SATA and USB 3.
>What's the best [software] for doing [ask]? Specify you question and elaborate. If you want help put something from your side.
>Which disk is better for my homeserver? Seems like Green WD are not sold nowadays. So WD Reds are okay for the price if you want "NAS Drvies". Otherwise HGST and Toshiba are your friends.
Depends on your use case user...duh? What're you trying to accomplish? Just general fuckarounditry? Raspberry pi because it has the most support and docuementation. Want to get away from that? Tinkerboard S is probably best value

So my current setup:
NAS: Old PC case with about 20 TB worth of HDD in running snapraid and Debian. I do all my downloads, torrents, Plex, etc. on here.
Odroid: Running openlec kodi, connects via Ethernet to modem so can access NAS.
Works well.
I have some questions: Why are HDD so expensive in aus? Fkn sucks. What's the best value hdd size?
I'm almost out of sata ports. Are there mobos with a heap of them? Or should I get a PCI sata extender thing?
Should I encrypt my HDD? All they're really used for is pirated movies games etc. What's the best way to do this while still having raid?

>SBCs Does anybody here reuse old desktops for home servers? I like jamming my stuff into 19" racks.

apparently the up core is also a thing but without onboard connectivity. I'm forced to buy a pci wifi adapter for the job
