I have a $60 ASRock mobo + Intel Celeron quad core combo. Stuck 16gb of Ram in it and two sata controllers. I think ran was the most expensive and the computer now costs $150 without the drivers. I have x8 4TB drives and a 60GB ssd running true nas. That gives me 24TB space and two redundant drives for failure tolerance. From there I run jails (FreeBSD containers) for NextCloud, MiniDLNA, and transmission.
Sounds pretty similar to my setup. Does your CPU officially support that much RAM? The documentation to my J4105 says it supports 8 GB max but I’ve read that some people managed to get it to run with more.
