Hardware and software suggestions for home NAS / VM server

boredom · November 25, 2019, 2:25pm

Looking for hardware (new or used) suggestions for an inexpensive home NAS with a light VM load. What is your pick for best bang for buck?
Software, as Wendell reviewed recently, I may use FreeNAS, unraid, or proxmox.

Thanks,

Used enterprise server. I can recommend dell t310 or 410 off of eBay

Ryzen first or 2nd gen. IMO

As above, cheap ryzen if you need processor power. Chinese ‘x79’ if you need plenty of memory.
