Pros

  • Or the JONSBO N4 if you don’t need quite so many drives.
  • I'd lean towards the N4 because it would be less of pain to work on long term - those front accessible drive bays beating having to pull the server out of the rack (even if was on sliding rails) and pull the sucker apart to get drives in...
  • The N4 looks awesome!
  • Case. Jonsbo N4
  • This NAS system is built for both reliability and expandability. With ECC memory, a Ryzen 3600 Pro, and a modern power supply, this setup offers both performance and longevity.

Cons

  • I have a N4 with 4 x 16TB disks in the hot swap bays, the disk cooling is a little underwhelming. Outside of that and a sticky power button that the retailer PLE nor Jonsbo want to replace, it's a great case.
  • Idk man the jonsbo already has heat issues. Those drive bays are stacked on top of one another closely and everything is so close together
  • I would be concerned about cooling on the N4, it has vent holes but might be a challenge to add active air flow to the motherboard chamber.
  • I am currently looking at Jonsbo N4 and Fractal Design Node 804.

If you want this setup to function as a NAS, the mini PC won't be viable. You can make a build using a Jonsbo N4 case.
