So i want to do a large uograde to my “homelab” but since i dont want to spent 1200€ on an empty synology nas and another 1200€ on hdd, i saw this on amazon (sorry site is dutch) I have a synology ds416play with 40tb and want to use this new one with 80tb hdds and a lenovo m600 i5 attached with some nas software. Probably running on mint linux (no linux expert, heared this was the most newby friendly). Would this be good enough? Or should i just buy a synology rs1221rp+ My network just got expanded also to 2.5g internet and 10gbit network. There is so much out there that cant choose.

EDIT: tnx. Didnt need a lot of convincing but the usb is the killer. So gonna look further.

EDIT 2: thanks for all the advise and tips!! :)

Can use the ssd, memory and maybe the processor

[–] thejevans@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The M600 uses soldered-on mobile CPUs and SODIMMs for RAM. You won't be able to remove the CPU and the RAM is the wrong form factor for 99+% of desktop motherboards. You're right that you can use the SSD, but I wouldn't, given how cheap NVMe drives have gotten these days. You can get really great 2TB drives for under 100€.

I could use the ssd for cache mem in a qnap or synology. I dunno, i basicly wanted to use the thinkcenter as a mb for hdd. Say an upgraded version of a nas which have way less mem capability or cpu. But after watching those vids maybe best to go for something new and not refurbished. Now in”just” have to choose what for what price. I was originaly gonna buy a dell san or something refurbished but thats going to a whole other level and cost way more time.
