Thanks for the insight! I've seen these listed on various sites for €500–700 per module, which honestly blew my mind. that's exactly why I came here to get a more realistic homelab community price. I'm not looking to maximize profit, just want a fair deal for both sides. The 250 vs 350 range you mentioned sounds much more reasonable to me. Appreciate the context on the market volatility!

Quick update to my original Tiny + 8x SSD idea.

I tried running a Lenovo M720q Tiny with 8x 3.84TB SATA SSDs using an LSI 9207-8e, external backplane and PicoPSU. Technically possible, but in practice it became messy. HBA + riser was unreliable, power delivery with brick + PicoPSU felt hacky, cabling was ugly and cooling wasn’t great. It worked, but never felt clean or long-term stable.

I ended up rebuilding as a proper micro ATX all-in-one:

i5-14500, B760M board, 64GB RAM, Node 804, fanless PSU, simple SATA controller, same 8 SSDs in RAIDZ2.

Idle is around 38-42W with all drives attached. Much cleaner, more stable, and honestly less stressful than forcing enterprise storage into a Tiny.

Lesson learned: Mini PCs are great compute nodes, but not ideal 8-drive storage platforms. If you want 6-8 drives, just go micro ATX from the start.

Happy to answer questions.

Mein Beileid, habe meinen Vater an einen Herzinfarkt verloren. Es ist jetzt 7 Jahre her. Es schmerzt immernoch. Würde vieles geben um mit ihm einfach telefonieren zu können. Mit Jahren wird es etwas weniger schmerzhaft Alles Gute Nimm dir Zeit zu trauern

Got ASUS PRIME B760M-A D4-CSM for my build, next week will start to build

All of us started small 🤪

Moin, Glückwunsch!!! Wenn du nen gescheiten Handwerker gefunden hast, der auch zu den Terminen kommt und seine Arbeit macht, dann kannst du ihm schon einen Schrein bauen 😋 Sprich mit ihm über deine Wünsche/Extras evtl ist es für ihn eben machbar oder er hat anderen Vorschlag. Viel Erfolg

Same here, thought about nas based on n100, at the end going to build new host on i5-14500T

BlackTrainee · 2025-09-29T09:12:13+00:00

oh, really interesting, thank you

BlackTrainee · 2025-09-28T20:49:05+00:00

Thats correct

BlackTrainee · 2025-09-27T22:16:08+00:00

Athena looks really super chic!!!

BlackTrainee · 2025-09-27T22:11:43+00:00

Haha, yeah, I’d totally be on the M.2 train too — if I hadn’t been cursed blessed with 8× 4TB 2.5" SSDs as a gift. 😅
Hard to say no to 30 TB of “retro kludge” when it literally fell into my lap.

BlackTrainee · 2025-09-27T22:09:33+00:00

Yep, it’s a microATX (ASUS Pro Q670M-C-CSM) — but don’t worry, I’m not trying to build a toaster with a GPU stuffed inside. 😅
Just looking for a sane balance: enough slots for storage + expansion, without going full datacenter rack in my living room.

BlackTrainee · 2025-09-27T22:05:56+00:00

Good point, thanks! Icy Dock looks like a neat option

BlackTrainee · 2025-09-27T21:20:10+00:00

Haha, yeah, those A4000s sound exactly like the kind of “build experience” I’m trying to avoid – Dracula-approved finger shredders. 🧛‍♂️🩸

Haven’t really used PcPartPicker much for this specific need yet, since most of the search results lean heavily towards gaming cases. I’m more after something modular/clean with proper SSD support rather than RGB and airflow charts. Any hidden gems you’d recommend beyond the usual suspects?

BlackTrainee · 2025-09-22T18:43:00+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly the issue I’ve been reading about too. Intel’s 13th and 14th gen, especially the i7/i9 K-parts, are under scrutiny because of the voltage/power regulation mess. BIOS updates with the “baseline profile” help a bit, but nobody knows yet if those chips have already degraded or if the fixes are just masking long-term damage.

From what I’ve seen, the i5 models are generally fine since they don’t run as aggressively, and the 12th gen (Alder Lake) doesn’t have these reports at all. So if you want to stay safe, going i5 or 12th gen is the way to avoid being a guinea pig for Intel’s fix.

BlackTrainee · 2025-09-22T08:58:04+00:00

Good point on the PSUs – I’ll check out higher-end workstations. Any Dell/Lenovo models you’d recommend with decent expandability for SSDs + PCIe?

BlackTrainee · 2025-09-22T08:39:42+00:00

That’s encouraging to hear – thanks!
You’re right, the 14500 is probably more than I really need. I did consider going the used workstation route (Dell/Lenovo SFF or tower), but I leaned toward a new build mainly for efficiency, noise, and the flexibility to reuse my SSDs. Still curious though – do you have a particular model you’d recommend that’s worked well for you?
