Hi Everyone
I looking for the feasibility to build a DIY NAS module that can readily host USB Drives over my home network (refer my earlier thread titled Synology USB Station 2 http://www.hifivision.com/media-str...ology-usb-station-2-a.html?highlight=synology ). On this I want suggestions on what motherboard should be used with the following constraint
1. Has to be mini-ITX for lesser power consumption and small space
2. Has to have at least 2 SATA 3 (6gbps) ports and is fine even if that is not more than 2.
3. Has to have at least 1 USB 3.0 port (2 ports would be nice to have)
4. Must be a combo pack (Processor + mobo combo) since otherwise the cost goes high up.
5. Video out may be VGA only and not necessarily HDMI / DVI compatible, whatever helps keep the cost low
6. Must have on board Gigabit LAN Port
On this I found out the following motherboard MSI E350IA-E45 Mini-ITX Motherboard, Compare and Buy latest AMD Motherboards Online in India: bitFang.com having all these features and costing around INR 8K . But I want your suggestions if something similar can be achieved at a lower price or is highly recommended at a close range with this.
Thanks in Advance
