nas

(Moved this to the correct subforum) It was time to upgrade so that means it's time to pass on some hardware. This is a great kit of hardware that has served me well and would set someone up nicely to start their homelab. I'm located in 08861 (Perth Amboy, NJ) and prefer an in person meet vs...

My Synology CS407 NAS don’t turn on, it may be out of order. I’ve got a NAS device with RAID 6. What should I do with all the data that’s still on the disks? (I hope that all drives are working and my data is still there) There is no way to access the files by just connecting the disks to the...

I have a synology ds920+ in and have replaced several drives and have a collection of 8tb Seagate compute (yes i know some are smr, hourly i can still use them?) and Toshiba n300 drives and an ironwolf. I wanted to create storage that i can put together a collection of retro files on (all kinds...

I was browsing in a store a year ago and they had one of these (except it's the 2 drive model 210) on clearance for $200. I have two cheap WD single drive NAS drives and did not plan on buying another "cheap" solution as I eventually want a proper NAS (Synology, Qnap etc) but it was less than...

Greetings all. I finally got the go ahead to turn one of our basement closets into my dream home lab. It's got plenty of space for a full-size 42U rack and we just installed a dedicated mini-split for climate control in that closet. I'm super exited about starting the build, but having anxiety...

After going through the thread on the Topton NAS motheboard and seeing others' builds, I too built a home NAS using the N5105 version of the motherboard and the Jonsbo N2 NAS case. I also made a video (linked in the blog post mentioned below) comparing the sound of the default Jonsbo N2 case fan...

So i recently i've gotten into learning networking and cloud, and would like to have my own private server/cloud instead of paying google/amazon and all the rest of cloud based softwares. I've looked into synology and qnap for nas, but for the price of them I realized i could just build my own...

Hi long term lurker, new member of the forum here. can I get some advise on what kind of HDD to order for a datto s3b3000? Does it take SAS or SATA? also what is the maximum capacity for storage on this thing. The official documentation says 3TB which seems like outdated info...

I'm looking for advice on building a new storage + virtualization home server. Some 12 or so years ago I built my 'current' NAS, consisting of a then brand-new G34 platform with a very cheap Opteron 6128 octacore and nice ASUS KGPE-D16 motherboard housed in a Norco 20-bay case. Over time I've...

Hi! I'm in the process of designing my home NAS server. Its primary function will be disk storage, but I also want to use it to run several services. NAS will be used for file storage, hosting video projects for editing off the server (I don't need super smooth scrubbing, though), and backups...

Hi everyone, I am building an EPYC Gen 2 based system on a Phanteks Enthoo 719 case. I would like to get your opinion on the best layout and direction of fans to achieve the best possible cooling outcome. I have 8 X Noctua 140mm fans, 3 at front, 3 at top, 1 at bottom and 1 at the back. I...

Hi, I am building a NAS server that will run TrueNAS Scale. I have 3x Ironwolf 8 TB HDD that will be set in RAID Z1 with some additional caching SSDs. And now the question. I need a motherboard for 9100F that will have 6xSATA ports, 2xM.2, support for ECC RAM (I will have 32Gb at the beginning)...

Just something to read >> Why You Should Not Run MinIO on SAN/NAS Appliances

Selling my homelab since I am just not utilizing it enough. Used for running experiments in proxmox, as a home-media-host and plex host. Local pickup preferred (Zürich area). Will deliver for free around Zürich, Switzerland. Can ship anywhere, buyer pays for shipping/customs (some of the items...

Hi all. Been down the NAS rabbit hole for a month now and still struggling to make the right decision, here's where I'm at: Currently taking a workstation build to turn into a NAS server... I'm realizing that I can no longer use the computer as a workstation if I go the TrueNAS route -...

I have an HP T630 thin client and a couple of Seagate Ironwolf HDDs and would like to build a cheap NAS with TrueNAS. Of course the T630 doesn't have any SATA ports, so I need some kind of HBA to be able to connect the HDDs. So my questions are what's the best one to buy and would the ones I've...

Hi there, first time poster here. I built a system years ago based off this build Building a 32-Thread Xeon Monster PC for Less Than the Price of a Flagship Core i7 It never ran stable on windows 10 (running Adobe Premiere and Blender primarily), and the startup I built it for had to be shut...

Hello together It's my first time here in the forum therefore I am not sure if my question belongs to the mainboard or to the HBA area. My current old NAS consists of the following components: I7 3770k, Asus Saberthooth Z78, 3x WD RED 4TB, 3x SSD, OS: OpenMediaVault and has some software...

I'd like to get a NAS to use at home as an additional backup destination for several home PCs, besides two cloud backup services I already use. No VMs, no media server, just a another place to archive my data (and Windows OS drives), ideally with snapshotting and ease of replicating (eventually)...
