This build is the perfect NAS / Homelab starting platform. It has ECC support, a fast, power efficient CPU with an iGPU, plenty of SATA connectors and the potential to expand.
List of Parts:
Ryzen 5 Pro 5650G
Asrock B550m Pro4:
Kingston Server RAM:…

Thanks for the demo and info. Happy New Year Jim. Have a great day
Unless your existing case is pathetically small, who doesn't have at least a pair of internal drive bays they could not mount a pair of mirrored (via Storage Spaces or thru DIsk Mngmt) drive in? 🙂 (If needs for storage that small, I'd question needing the expense of another PC/NAS/Server to be built at all… unless you just want it as a tinkering system, which I perfectly understand…!)
My Ryzen 2700x supports ECC memory..
What about Gigabyte MW34SP0 ECC + Intel not Xenon required . Check video Gigabyte MW34SP0 Motherboard Review Level1Techs
Oh nice, i actually have the same build as a home server. Didn't know what is ECC support and by luck i have it. I am not sure about my ram cuz its different and i dont think it have ECC. I Dint find info on internet. I have Kingston FURY Beast Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL17. Looking forward for the next episode
Haha, just pick up a case from the trash he says, while I have delayed my build for month now, bc I can't have my ideal case 🙈😅 apparently it's inconceivable to want easy access to 4 HDDs and 6 SSDs in a SFF (<40l) 😔
hello James, love your videos. Will you measure idle consumption of the final build?
doesn't the system have it’s own error correcting algorithms, how it is possible to be able to upload something and arrive corrupted on the nas without ecc memory?
It's also worth pointing out for future reference, Asrock Rack make itx boards with ipmi, integrated processors and ecc support.
I have built systems like this to import customer data into my hosting platform, inspired by the azure data box. I also run 1u versions built on supermicro as onsite backup targets to ingest veeam backups before any onward forwarding. TrueNAS core and native zfs is great – not too take away from Scale.
people, but especially businesses really need 2 nas….
The best thing to do is
Reduce
Reuse
Repurpose
And then only ♻️ if all of the former are exhausted.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
For just couple of hard drives you could go with 8L AsRock DeskMeet X300. It support ECC RAM up to 128G and costs around $170 including 500W 80+ bronze PSU.
That will be a great build! Looking forward to see the next episodes!
Last year I was hesitating to make a similar build with a ryzen pro. I finally opted for a 3 node intel nuc cluster and 2 synology nas. It draws 8 to 10 watt per node and 15 watt per nas (with crucial SSD's)
there is one minus of APU, version of pci-e nvme drive, only 3.0, but ryzen cpu's has pci-e 4.0. I've ryzen 7 5700x headless server with 128GB RAM ECC on X570 ATX board and consum in ide 30-36 Wats 🙂
Gosh, You're really crazy, just like me in that homelabing 😛 I'm just wonder how big is Your lab.
Where did you source the CPU on with warranty? Is it a vendor everyone can access?
oh yeah… i'm trying to repurpose my old i7-2600K. gonna make a test server and try to learn promox and networking. Thx Jim for your educational videos.
Cool, these videos should be perfect for me. Now I create a nas/server with xeon processor and ecc memory.
Waiting for operating system, i think install proxmox and virtualize the nas passthrough sas card (it mode) and that proxmox should have tailscale so i can trobleshoot it. But never done for someone so no experience 😢.
I can't replicate same setup with that price because here refurbished market is flaky at best.
Hay Jim another banger
Honestly great build it’s funny I was going to do this exact build but I went for the 5700g instead and didn’t do the ecc memory route since I already had 128g of ram in a old Build and I wanted to reuse it
Just be careful when buying the 5650g! A lot of them on the second hand market actually are vendor locked, because they came out of Lenovo products.
I ended up going with a 5600. I had an extra GPU lying around that I had lying around for set up, and I might pick up a 5650g later.
Did I get it right that you went with a single ssd/nvme as boot disk? Maybe that could have been a mirrored set?
I personally think a
R5 1600 or 2600 new or used
16 to 32 GB memory
A cheap matx a320 or b350 Mobo new
A gt 1030 or anything cheap gpu new or used
256GB m.2 SSD new
4TB HDDs as per needs new
450 watt PSU new
Cheap matx case new or used
Just 2 thoughts from me depending on budget.
1. Icy Dock FatCage 3 bays fit 3.5" drives takes 2 x 5 1/2" bays. Easy for them to add hard drives and you remote configure if ever required.
2. Cheap UPS I live in UK rarely a power cut but worth it for a safe shutdown just in case.
And how about the OS?
