I had a spare storage drawer from a previous build. It really helps out.

All hard drives were the same model. There's no difference between WD essentials, easy store, and my book. They all have whatever hard drive is available at that time.

Tuf NAS

This is my DIY NAS. This was built during the year my media PC kept having motherboard issues and I sent it back to ASUS four times. The media PC was supposed to buy my Plex server, I planned to have it plugged into the TV and turn it on to watch Plex or play games. I ran out of space for movies and this computer was built quickly. I harvested my 3800x from my personal PC and borrowed some RAM... From my computer...

This PC has been a great success and I want more out of it. I have been leaving it on a shelf and I use the TV to tell it what to record. I'm still setting it up after installing Ubuntu server. Plex and the TV tuner works. I also have cockpit to manage this PC.

I installed nextcloud and halfway through the installation, the NAS shut down after 10 minutes and keeps shutting down on me. I let it disown and I came back the next day to a GUI and no terminal, so I had to wipe and install again.
