In this video, I build what might be the most ridiculous NAS ever conceived. A cursed contraption I’ve dubbed "FrankeNAS". Powered by a MinisForum NAB9 Plus and stitched together with a RAID card, OCuLink interface, SAS drives, eBay parts, and a 3D-printed enclosure held together with plastic, glue, and probably bad decisions… it shouldn’t work, but it does. Follow along as I: • Source parts from eBay and Amazon • Build a DIY TrueNAS system with RAID and SAS3 • Test storage performance with FIO • Design and 3D print a custom NAS enclosure • Attempt to not melt anything (no promises) Whether you’re a homelabber, IT pro, or just here for the chaos, you’ll enjoy this absurd DIY build. **AFFILIATE LINKS TO THE PARTS USED IN THE VIDEO!** Supermicro 8-port SAS3 RAID card: https://ebay.us/hjEnbv OCuLink to PCIe card: https://amzn.to/4ns5fYd OCuLink to OCuLink data cable: https://amzn.to/44lFlN2 Chenbro RM35206 disk array (out of stock ☹️) https://ebay.us/S2MFuK Mini-SAS to Mini-SAS cable: https://amzn.to/45MGdwH Mini-SAS to SATA breakout cable: https://amzn.to/4kf2ab2 GAMEMAX SFX PSU: https://amzn.to/4lw2uDs **GET SOCIAL AND MORE WITH US HERE!** Get help with your Homelab, ask questions, and chat with us! 🎮 https://discord.gg/5TcfBWBB7S **Check out HomeLab Gear for all your homelab needs!** 💿 https://homelabgear.shop/ Subscribe and follow us on all the socials, would ya? 📸 https://instagram.com/2guystek 💻 https://facebook.com/2guystek Find all things 2GT on our website! 🌍 https://2guystek.tv/ More of a podcast kinda person?
