High efficency power supply Mean Well GST40A12-P1J – 40Watt are plenty enough for this setup. The supply will not get warm even if the NAS is under heavy load.

Fan 50x50x15mm (mine is a NONOIse G5015S12D with only 0.08A which is not disturbing. Important, it should be a two wire fan! You can choose your favourite manufacturer as most of the fans have the same formfactor and will fit to the fan mount.

I´m still working on an own case as I can´t find any suitable aftermarket box/case which is available globally for a cheap price.

Yesterday I started a thingiverse project you can find here to get some results.

As I changed my PC setup to a small Intel I7 NUC I was in need of a bigger storage than the SSD in the guts of the NUC. My old synology NAS only provides one bay and is a closed system from Synology. Therefore I was checking around and now found a super nice solution based on a open source system. The overal consumption in standby/idle is around 6,5W. Under heavy load it increases up to 20W. So a low cost, energy saving NAS with raid and a lot of power ressources is possible in 2019. Stay tuned I will provide the next time some benchmarks…
