my [very small] home color grading suite

First real upload (do reels count!?) I'm Ryan, a colorist & post nerd in Vancouver BC. Trying to make some fun stuff on the side… here’s an overview of my small home grading suite, featuring a custom-built NAS inspired & powered by solutions made by the great people at ‪@45Drives‬

THE NAS
---------------------------------------------------  
Like I said, I’ll probably do a whole video (or series) on how I built my NAS. For now, here’s the basics. Picked up most of it second-hand. Motherboard is a SuperMicro X10SDV-4C-TLN2F with integrated CPU that I picked up on eBay. I bought the version with the CPU fan, which I removed, and replaced with a quieter Noctua NF-A4x20 PWM fan. Mounting is a challenge, but I came up with an elegant solution that involved copper wire. More on that next time.

* Case: Fractal Design Node 304
* RAM: 4x Supermicro 32GB DDR4-2133 RDIMM PC4-17000P-R
* Power Supply: SeaSonic X 400W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular Fanless ATX Power Supply
* Boot Drive: Crucial P3 500GB
