NAS Box - other stuff


 I've decided to go with 2x8GB of RAM. In my case, the most important is the amount, not the speed of the sticks. Yeah, real men are not afraid of CL11. Second hand cost ~ 70$, quite a bargain.



As for the boot drive, I went with: SanDisk Cruzer Fit 16GB USB 2.0. It is reliable, small, and cheap. You can't go wrong with it. Price ~5$
