Bit of background: I recently got my hands on a SuperMicro X9SCL Mobo and Xeon E3 1220 (power supply, case and 500GB) hard drive for cheap I originally intended to put freeNas on it and realized (through both thinking and discussion with a server admin) that it'd be better to put macOS on it and...

- I'd love to have server that last for decades (part of this versus of the shelf NAS)....but I need it to be quiet and preferably not a power hog. Currently I have a place I could store it that the noise won't bother me (not my preferred place but still a spot), but I move every 5-7years or...

It's two parts: I don't like the limitation to number of bays. I have had my new computer for a year and a half and filled 3TB total, I accept that you can upgrade with bigger drives, however my rate of file size expansion and accumulation is increasing, especially as I dedicate more time to...

I used word storage server because I want to avoid being suggested NAS products. I have yet to see a NAS that is extensible and cost effective enough for my current and future needs. Problem/Situation/Plea for help I want to build a extensible storage solution that I can easily upload and...
