Hardware für einen Heimserver?
Hallo zusammen
Ich schlage mich in letzter Zeit mit dem Gedanken herum, mir einen Heimserver zusamenzustellen.
Die Anforderungen sehen etwa wie folgt aus:
- Möglichst leise und stromsparend
- Filme und Serien downloaden und zum privaten Streaming zur Verfügung stellen (Genügende Speichermöglichkeit)
- Anwendungen wie PiHole, etc.
- Platz zum “Experimentieren” oder Erweitern mit verschiedenen Applikationen via Docker (SmartHome bspw.)
- Optional: Möglichkeit einfache GameServer zu hosten (Z.B. ARK: Survival Evolved/Ascended)
Als erster Aspekt käme mir hier die Verwendung eines NAS in Frage (Bspw. Synology DS 923+). Hier habe ich jedoch gehört, dass NAS nicht gerade Stromsparend sind und auch eher lautere Lüfter im Einsatz haben. Ebenfalls unterstützt es kein Hardware-Transcoding, was Streaming einschränken kann.
Die zweite Idee wäre es, einen eigenen kleinen Server zusammenzustellen. Das kann Stromsparend und leise sein. Hier sehe ich jedoch die Schwierigkeit bei dem Speicher.
Hat jemand von euch Ideen, Erfahrungen oder Empfehlungen für mich?
Das können NAS, oder auch gute Hardware für das Zusammenstellen sein.
Danke im Voraus
Why? There are enough housings that have space for lots of hard drives. You can easily install more storage in your own home server than in any available NAS.
e.g. https://www.caseking.de/jonsbo-n3-nas-case-black/GEJB-143.html
In addition to the case, you need a SATA HBA to connect the entire disks
This fits into an M.2 port, so the PCIe X16 port remains free for a graphics card.

As a graphics card for hardware video encoding, the cheapest Intel ARC is also enough.
Then there are only
The RAM is actually better. TrueNAS can use the RAM as a cache to increase performance and if you want to run several virtual machines on it via Proxmox, I would already think in the direction of 32-64GB. That’s enough.
You are on the right path: Take a Synology!
Make sure the processor is Intel-based. (It makes sense for Docker and Gameserver)
Due to data security, the DS should have at least 2 or more plate inserts.
I have a DS218+ and I am very happy. “Laut” isn’t that, but the plates are already heard. SSD’s are a price question. The power consumption is, of course, always a compromise. The more power, the more energy is consuming, but each “home server” consumes just as much.
To what extent should your Celeron now offer advantages over my Ryzen?
No one! I just wanted to warn against an ARM processor with which the “small” are still equipped. The Ryzen also has Intel architecture. Whether it’s Intel or AMD at the end, the Ryzen will be even more powerful. Perhaps I have expressed misunderstanding
Okay, then it was actually misunderstood.
Then you might have better pointed to X86 instead of ARM architecture.
If you’re not willing to walk around and build a lot, whereas this question actually speaks, I would also recommend a Synology Diskstation.
I do not know the DS923+ myself now, but I have the old 412+ standing plus now for 1.5 years the 1522+, but that they should be loud from the fans I cannot confirm.
What you really hear is the hard drives. But if you put the DS in a containment cabinet or even a server cabinet, you shouldn’t hear anything.
Even better would be to use SSDs, which should be a costly undertaking in view of film collections.
As far as the lack of hardware transcoding is concerned, I would have agreed to this 5-6 years ago, as an argument, but in today’s time all devices should be so powerful that they can stream directly.
In this case, only your Internet line would be limited.
In this respect, a reasonable NAS supports all your claims.
I’ve been running 2-Bay NAS from QNAP in the living room for many years. A TS-253D. The fan is not heard, it is economical, meets the stated requirements. Only the hard drives are heard occasionally, but not really disturbing, I find.
Look at the AOOSTAR WTR PRO 5825U

Take a normal tower case and pack components as quiet as possible.
You don’t get problems with the storage space so easily. Normal motherboards already have 6 Sata connectors without problems. That’s enough for lots of storage space. And you can still have Nvme connections.
A power-saving CPU so you can use a passive cooler ensures very low loudness. Then the only noise comes from the power supply.
And from the hard drives.
If he doesn’t want any noise, he’ll take SSDs.
In view of the fact that the FS apparently does not even know what it would require, I would start from under-average knowledge, e.g. about storage capacities.
But is not to decide what he needs or what pre-knowledge he has. If he wants to take a quiet system he wants SSD he takes a favorable system he wants HDD he wants both he must set priorities.
You can speculate for years if he takes SSD or Hdd I have lt. His priority list answered. And there was the first “Leise”.
Right, but if he had money like hay, he wouldn’t need this question, but would go to a special store, grab money on the table and say, “I want that and that, no matter what it costs.”
Those who really want to load films and series, and also to provide them to others, have 16 TB quickly full.
A 15 TB SSD currently costs ~ 1,800 €.
I believe in the fact that you wouldn’t take SSDs either.
Except of course you have money like hay. Then I wonder what you’re doing here. Because money like hay must come from somewhere. 😜
He called it first.
Who wants to have it quietly takes SSDs. It’s really frightening what a noise Hdds do when you get used to the “newer” sound coulisse.
If he wants to download movies and series, he does not take SSDs for cost reasons.
