Thank you for your answer. the picoPSU is the next point that causes headaches. I have two questions about the pico.

How to calculate how much energy is needed without knowing how much the board needs? My actual HDDs and planed parts are:

• 2x 6TB WD Red WD60EFAX -> and I found the use 5.3W under load what means even with four of them they only need 21,2W
• a NVME like the WD Blue SN570 with max consumption of 3,75W
• a fan (maybe an be quiet! Silent Wings 4 PWM 120mm) for the case with round about 4W by max Speed sums up to 27,95W But the information about the power consumption for the board is missing.

It seems like a 80 watts picoPSU should be sufficent. What I don't understand is, how can I supply the power with this psu when it is a 24-pin ATX but the board needs only 4-Pin-ATX?

Ah ok. Asrock is now an option too. Knowing they can handle 16gb of ram is a game changing information. It was the single argument against them. Because the price is much better.

My old NAS was a Synology DS213j.

Usualy over at reddit selfhosted sent the user asking for diy nas over to the r/NAS but it is still private and there is no lemmy chanel yet. But because of this I tried "hardware" first ^^

The quadro p4000 could be a bit over the top. And it lacks the rest of a pc 😅

I guess i missunderstood. The board I linked got 2xGb-Lan not 2,5gb lan. Sorry.

It seems like the pine64 is based on android right? I planned to use "debian server" or "trueNas scale". Don't know if this is compatible. But since the raspi always needed its own version of every software because of its cpu architecture (ARM) I wanted to switch to the more common X64 platform. So I can use the usual software version for for example docker.

No, atm only a few users (maybe 4-5 at once) should connect at the same time. The 2,5Gb lan is only a nice to have because the board comes with it.
