In my opinion, if you want a turn key solution with the best apps, and a solid alternative to something like MS OneDrive, Google Drive, Drop Box, Nextcloud, etc. then Synology is hard to beat. Their hardware doesn't have the best specs as noted above, but their software sets the bar for NAS and...

Yes 30 watts. My other hobby is welding. Everything is measured in amps when you weld. LOL

I love it. It has been rock solid. It took some trial and error to get LACP links set up between my two NAS boxes and between the switch and my pfSense box (Hunsn N100 box from Amazon). But once everything was set up, I have literally been able to ignore the switch. I did upgrade my main Proxmox...

The management console looks pretty identical to the switch I bought, except the Mokerlink I bought has a few more 2.5g ports. I am sure they are all the same basically. This is my second Mokerlink. I have been happy with them. I thought about going with the Ienron, but wanted the added ports...

Are either system 1 or system 2 hosting a shared folder? or is only the Synology hosting a shared folder? Just because you have SMB running doesn't mean you have configured a folder to share.

Honestly for basic NAS stuff and Nextcloud, the OP could get by with core i3 processor, or less. It's the dev stuff that is the wild card. I run 2 instances of Openmediavault, ansible, and homeassistant on a N100 CPU, and that is overkill. My main Proxmox node runs Nexcloud, three separate...

Do you really need 10gbs? What kind of hard drives do you have in your Proxmox nodes? If you have spinning drives in your Proxmox nodes, you would probably be well served with 2.5gbps, save a bunch of money and generate a lot less heat. I just upgraded my main Proxmox node to 10gbps networking...

If you have any plans on doing any AI inferencing, I would say neither. See here. https://www.anandtech.com/show/21084/intel-core-i9-14900k-core-i7-14700k-and-core-i5-14600k-review-raptor-lake-refreshed/10

Check Newegg. Plenty of good refurb stuff over there for not a lot of money https://www.newegg.com/p/2NS-0006-3HEM4?Item=9SIAC0FK9Z5272

I do have trouble finding unused channels on 5 ghz

My current setup is that I have a generic N100 box running pfSense plus, with dual WAN. I have the pfSense box linked to my 2.5gb managed switch via LACP. My Proxmox nodes, NAS devices, and assorted other devices (alarm, ham radio stuff) all hang off of the managed switch. I currently have a...

I have two of these in my environment running on AMD machines and I couldn't be happier https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09VCVTJV2

Not to change topics, but I would love to see some reviews of the bigger 2.5gbe/10gbe switches. The ones with 16+ 2.5gbe ports, especially the managed switches.

I still find nothing. I checke3d the CWWK website earlier too. If you find a link I would appreciate it you could share. Thx

Amazon often has sales too. I paid $119 for my Nucbox 3 with 8gb of memory and 256GB SSD

Can't find anything on Google with that text string

OK, who makes it?

On sale for $149.99 for 3 days. 8mb memory and 256gb drive https://www.gmktec.com/products/nucbox-g3-most-cost-effective-mini-pc-with-intel-n100-processor?variant=c3e3b8ee-7ba7-47da-87cd-85fb2f6674ef

GMKTek nucbox G3. They are often on sale for less than $150 with 8gb of memory and a 512gb NVMe SSD. 2.5 gbe NIC, plenty of USB ports, N100 processor. Nice units. I use one as a Proxmox host

Watch the reviews that Patrick has on the server the home youtube channel. There are differences. I specifically went HP because I wanted at least 2 NVMe slots so I could mirror the boot drive for Proxmox, and I wanted to be able to upgrade the NIC
