First, I would like to thank this community for being an understanding, open-minded and Novice friendly like myself. I have learned a lot in the past few weeks thanks to this community, unlike Reddit’s toxic communities where asking a question is illegal.

I have built most of my NAS; the only missing component (CPU) I will be collecting in the morning. I just wanted to ask general questions or tips. Dos and Donts. I will be using Unraid as OS.

      I agree Reddit is toxic. I’d argue reddit actually stopped being Reddit around 2016. But it’s posts like this that clog it all up and are partially why it is the way it is today.

      I gotta agree with this. The toxicity in any reddit thread increases dramatically when the poster pre-emptively complains about all the toxicity they expect to receive. Whereas when you just ask straight without going into a whole speech about comment quality, you get much better replies. Particularly because it’s hijacking your own thread; changing it from whatever question you wanted to ask into an analysis of the comments.

      To your point, I clicked on this post hoping to see what OP was going to use and why because I would like to build my own NAS some day. But like you said, this post is a waste of everyone’s time.

      Well said.

      The spirit of Self-Hosting is trying things and then asking specific questions when you get stuck (stuck includes having no luck using a search engine).
