Since my current desktop tower is getting quite old, I decided to upgrade it soon to speed it up. The older parts in my current PC can be used to create a separate NAS server (to replace the old Synology DS1815+).
My current desktop/server tower has the following components:

- Fractal Design Define R5 Black Silent ATX Midtower Computer Case
- Fractal Design Silent Series R2 Black/White Silence-Optimized 140mm Case Fan

- Samsung 840 SSD (working drive)
- LSI Logic SAS9260-8i SGL Raid 8PORT Int 6GB SAS/SATA PCIe 2.0 512MB Raid Controller
- 6 x Hitachi HGST Deskstar 8TB Hard drive
- Razer DeathAdder Essentials wired mouse
- SIIG Wired Keyboard (JK-US0412-S1)
- Windows 8.1 Pro x64 License Key/Windows 10 Pro

For the NAS server, I would use the spare parts from my existing PC to build the following or purchase a new Synology DS1621+:

- Asus Z97-PRO LGA 1150 Motherboard (re-use)
- 16GB (8GB x 2 DDR3 SDRAM (re-use)
- Samsung 840 SSD (boot drive)
- 5 x Seagate 16TB HDD Exos X16 7200 RPM 512e/4Kn SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5-Inch Enterprise Hard Drive (ST16000NM001G) for RAID-5
Since the current AMD 5800X is out of stock, I must wait for more availability.
For NAS usage, there are multiple possible operating systems:
Since I am familiar with Synology DSM software, I am considering using Xpenology for my Home NAS build. Neither Freenas nor Truenas are desirable because of the OpenZFS file system, which requires ECC DRAM. Without ECC, the file system could be easily corrupted.
12/29/20 Update
I have decided to postpone my build until there is more availability for AMD 5800X CPUs or Intel Z590 Series motherboards. Also, the latest generation of graphics cards is difficult, if not impossible, to purchase.
