How to build a DIY NAS from an OLD PC [0$-50$] Budget | TrueNAS

#trueNAS #BudgetNAS #DIYNAS
Our video today is building a Home DIY NAS with a limited budget. We can start from a 0$-50$ budget depending on what is available around us. We don't need to spend money if we have an old pc that can meet the requirements for us to be able to get a NAS up and running, however, if it needs to be upgraded we need to buy some parts to upgrade it, otherwise, we can also buy old pc on eBay that is like mine with a budget of 30$-50$. We will be using TrueNAS as the operating system. I will guide you from step one until your Home Nas is ready to use. Have fun and enjoy.

Out of all videos this man right here has walked me thru this step by step. I tried other videos but all has failed leading me to restarting each time. This man knows his stuff and did an amazing job. 10/10 good sir.

I just turned my 9 year old gaming rig from highschool into a NAS with this video. Thank you so

I just wanted to thank you so much for this! I tried to set up a pc using TrueNAS last year and got totally lost, this video was absolutely a godsend in letting me get it working - a couple successful hours, compared to a week of failure. Thank you again!

Truenas works perfectly, I turned my old pc into a network server with a 1 TB boot disk and 4 x 4 TB storage disk
this one works perfectly for my home studio projects

Thank you so much, sir. We've setup TrueNAS but for production, it's kinda buggy sometimes. The forum community is very hands-on in helping.

one of the best guide on internet for nas lovers

The real problem with this is the lack of redundancy. At a minimum, you want two hard drives in a NAS. More would be ideal. Hard drives fail, and you don't want to lose your important data because you didn't have redundancy or a backup.

I think four is the sweet spot, but you can get by with two. But, then, on top of that, you should be backing up your files away from the NAS. If you have a hardware failure (this is a 10-year-old PC, after all), you could lose everything no matter how many drives are in your array. Use the 3:2:1 backup scheme to protect yourself. Even if your backup system just consists of plugging a USB hard drive into the machine and running a nightly backup to that, you need to do it. Ideally, you would keep a backup off site. So, if you have two USB hard drives, you can swap them out occasionally and keep one of them somewhere else. I keep one of my USB hard drives from home in my desk at the office, and then swap it out for the other one occasionally.

Many routers can be used for simple NAS duties, so that could be a good way to handle backups from your NAS.

this is 100% the information I needed to start, and popped as first video. You are THE BEST! thank you!

2007-2008 PC's are amazing for it, because motherboard would often have 8 (EIGHT!!!) sata ports (for all these cd/dvd drives that were popular at the time).

One of the BEST videos about setup TrueNAS. Thanks a lot!

[smidjepeter]

No questions, everything was explained!
And certainly I learned from this video, my subscription to your channel was certainly not in vain !!
Thank you very much for this explanation.
This weekend I'm making a nas system!! 😉

This was a very good tutorial. I would suggest that you let people know how to select things in the original menu. People may not know you use the space bar to select. I will make a NAS now and use this video and recommend it anytime. Thanks again.

This video helped me greatIy. Got it all working and mapped the drive successfully. Unforunately i could not get it to find a single plugin and was not able to get plex at all.

[madhugiri]

Fantastic. Do speak about NFS and SMB shares in detail in the coming videos. Would be really helpful.

[mmtbchannel]

At .33 per kWh be very cautious on building a system like this. You need to run it for 365days a year, so you and to consider the cost of power each month / per year. On average a PC can consume 100watts. 100W uses 0.1 kWh per hour x 356 days a year at .33 per kWh. This system alone can cost you around $876 a year if the price per kWh doesn't increase. If where you live is lower than than price month over month then you'll see a cheaper cost, but not by much. The best option in my opinion is to find a Celeron processor or Amr processor and look at other options similar to TrueNass. TrueNas is great 👍 and the video is great. Just consider the cost year over year before you start your journey and commit the money.
