Hi guys, I have just purchased an MS-A2 barebone (Ryzen 7945HX) for £449. The majority of the MS-O1 (i9 12th gen) in the UK is out of stock or higher in price, so I was happy to get this one. My intial plan was Proxmox booting from a 1TB NVMe 1 VM for OPNsense (for LAN/WAN separation) 1 VM for...

Greetings all. I'm new to this forum, so I apologize if this isn't the right category to post in. I'm trying to build my first homelab server. I will use it for a gaming panel, lancache server for some steam games and as a storage for my personal files/photos/videos. And maybe more, i don't...

Hey folks, I've been happy with my 11 year old QNAP TS-451 which survived two moves and is still doing fine-ish, but the hardware and the disks are starting to show their age. I want to replace it with a new piece of hardware and 4 disks with ideally low energy consumption (in idle and under...

Hi, I work in a post-production house with a 10GbE network and two Synology NAS’s for video editing. Five of our PCs have excellent transfer speeds (DS1821+ does 930 MB/s read/write, DS1817+ does 530 MB/s read/write). However, one computer has significantly less speed (DS1821+ has 377 MB/s...

Having built a number of computers over the years, starting with soldering headers for a z80a, I looked forward to my first build with a real server MoBo. It's certainly been an adventure, hoping for a sanity check from the forum. One note: While I would rather go with multiple boxes for this...

Hi everyone, A few months ago in a discussion thread either here or on one of the many forums I frequent, someone linked me to what I recall looked like a blog post. I now cant find that blog post, nor the message in which someone linked me to it, so I come to you for assistance. The topic...

Hi all, I want to build a small NAS, but I've never done this before. Please point out where my plans are unconventional or just plain stupid. My NAS will be used as general storage (simultaneously accessed by up to 2 PCs) and for storing 4K movies that will be played on my TV. Possibly also...

This is my first post here - I couldn't decide if this should go in DIY and Makers, General Chat, or here. I went through Guides, but didn't see anything along these lines. I'm looking to replace my obsolete home server with a server + NAS combination. Looking for references where I can learn...

Hello everyone, I recently purchased an ASRock N100M motherboard with the following setup in mind: Use an ASM1166 M.2 to 5x SATA adapter to connect 4 SATA drives. Attach 2x 240GB SSDs directly to the motherboard over SATA. Install Proxmox as a bootable RAIDZ set on the 4 SATA drives. Add the 2...

I have Dell Optiplex 9020 which has only one SATA power plugin, coming out of motherboard (although it has 3 SATA Ports). I am planning to connect at least 4x 3.5"Drives (4TB) to it, for now. I will use LSI HBA Card to have additional SATA ports. Issue: How to provide power to these drives...
