Hello,

Was not to sure where to post this, but as I'm a new member this seem like a reasonable place. I'm looking into building a new storage server, been watching Tom on YouTube for ideas and information. After seeing Hayley's build I would like something similar, I've got about £1350 to play with. My current problem is I keep going way over budget when I get quotes for parts on line. I seem to over spend buy a good £500 every time. I'm looking for a good raid 6 system with 8TB of usable storage, keeping the OS on a SSD. It should also be able to handle media streaming, as that will be it's main purpose. Hot swap is a must for swapping out drives and ease of installation. Any guides, tips, suggestions, places to shop, etc. Are all welcome, also Tom are you after a new project
