I’ve been convinced to build my own NAS again instead of going with a Synology and I’m thinking there are probably parts that don’t matter if you buy used vs new but I’m curious what your thoughts are?

    Oh wow, that’s awesome. No concerns buying used CPU, RAM, or MOBO? I’m assuming you buy a new power supply though right?

      Not OP but, CPU and RAM have incredible low failure rates. Mobos are pretty rare too. A PSU Id but new, and make sure it’s the highest efficiency.

      No concerns here.

      I buy used server chassis and power supplies for my NASes.

      The only new items in my primary, backup, and offsite NASes are the 500TB of HDD’s and a couple of fan splitters.

      The only new items in my 3 Proxmox nodes are…nothing actually. All SSD’s, HDD’s and everything else is used enterprise hardware.
