TL;DR

Linus roped in William Osman for what might just be the wildest, jankiest portable NAS build ever—think a Deep mini-ITX server board, AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, heaps of NVMe SSDs (up to 15.36 TB each) alongside 18 TB hard drives, all squeezed into a compact chassis with a GaN ATX PSU and beefy PoE switch. The two hash out every step from drive mounting and custom paint jobs to adding a second backup NAS, complete with plenty of “did that just happen?” moments and “painful drops of 2025.”

On top of the build shenanigans, they preview William’s upcoming Open Sauce event, share merch and sponsor shout-outs (Odoo, Sauce Plus, all those affiliate links), and drop the final reveal at the show. If you’re into over-the-top storage solutions and commentary that leans heavy on nerdy banter, this one’s for you!
