NeoFax Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 I am looking for an affordable SBC card that will work as a solid NAS system that I can also run alongside either TrueNas/FreeNAS/OMV such as Grafana, VPN, Docker. Anything above $100 USD is unfeasible for me right now.
Werner Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 What about RockPro64 with 88SE9230 based 4x SATA PCI adapter card?
NeoFax Posted March 16, 2022 Author Posted March 16, 2022 That will work, just will have to get the Marvell 9230 card from somewhere other than Pine64 as theirs only has 2 SATA connections.

Lots more info on the broader topic here, including some hardware recommendations further down. But Werner already basically gave you the tl; dr version. There is a link in that thread to another one though that is specifically about ROCKPro64 as NAS, including some discussion of specific SATA adapter cards and chipsets. Please do add your feedback there (or in PINE64 wiki, etc.).
