Hi im building my first diy nas box and need help to choose hardware. This is what i've have come up with so far

I would apreciate comments and sugestions!
I dont know that language but it looks like you are getting 2X2TB drives. I would suggest you get 3X2TB drives and use one as parity and the other 2 as data. That is what I did so I have 4TB of protected data using unraid, As log as you have an additional bay in your case it makes sense to do that now instead of expanding later.
I would suggest buying a pre-build NAS system.

Definitely some wise advice! and this is exactly how I started my first unRaid box.

I agree the cost difference between 2 and 3 GB drives is so minor right now. Also unraid rocks. I just build my first unraid server with 6GB of storage and 3GB parity drive.

I'm sure you meant TB right? Haha
I find myself doing the same thing at times.
Just shows our age,....and at least you didn't say K.
