  • Earlier this year I built something similar, although with more space for hard drives:

    I used the following components:

    Mainboard Topton N100 (AliExpress) This is actually a BKHD 1264 NAS 136,69 €
    RAM 16 GB Crucial DDR5-4800 (Mindfactory) 40,78 €
    Case Jonsbo N2 (???) 138,83 €
    PSU 300 W bequiet SFX Power 3 (Mindfactory) 50,39 €
    M.2 system drives 2 X 128 GB Patriot P.300 (Mindfactory) 25,78 €
    392,47 €

    For storage I bought used 4 TB drives from ebay for around 40 € each.

    Now the system is running 5 x 4 TB in RAID 6 as well as a 256 SATA SSD I had laying around as cache.

    The system is using 25 Watts in idle with those 5 HDDs, 1 SATA SSD and 2 M.2 SSDs.

    It’s a bit more you’ve been asking for but this option would offer you more expandability down there road.




  • Oh lol I totally misread that. 🤣

    Of course you’re correct: persistence is key and much more important than consistency (as in: perfectly nail every dodge, which is my problem).

    Like many others already said: Probably the best take is to “understand” that dying is not failure but part of the progression system. But instead of grinding experience points to progress your character (which is totally possible in dark souls) you grind real experience by repeating difficult parts over and over again and progress as a player.

    It’s actually extremely clever game design.
