I’ve been running a full tower Windows server with a dozen drives for a decade and decided to downsize. This ministack does everything I need at a fraction of the power, noise, and heat.

I use it primarily for Plex but also host a few games servers for buddies. It fits perfectly in my entertainment center.

Spent around $200 on the Mac Mini plus $600 on the drives and enclosures. I’m using SoftRAID for RAID1.

    What are the drives enclosures ?

    I have an M2 Mac mini not really used and that would be a great idea to do something like you, instead of the huge supermicro server.

    Thanks !

    Edit: OWC mini stack

      Yep you got it, the Ministack enclosure. The brown wood base I got on Amazon - it’s a no name brand, just search for Mac Mini wood stand.
