nas

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...

Taking my home lab and NAS in a different direction at home, so this Synology DS1821+ which has served me well for the past few years is now up for sale. Purchased in late 2021, works with no issues. No disks are included. Has 8 3.5" hot swap drive slots along with x2 m.2 slots for SSD storage...

For the context: I'll use Nas on a VM I can passthru SATA controller and NVMe My VMs include Linux (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Arch, etc.), Windows 11s, and a Windows Server 2022 All virtual NIC is vmxnet3 (10Gbps) I don't need raid/redundancy. I have a single 4TB drive and it should be enough for me...

Hi guys, New poster here, quite impressed with the info in this forum so looking forward to be more active. I'm currently thinking of upgrading my current NAS (i3-10100 with standard workstation parts and a QNAP JBOD) with a more power efficient solution. Server is running Debian on metal and...

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...

I would like to build a 1u rackmount nas enclosure attached to my MS-01. Ideally 16 nvme modules using 2 * 5.25 slots but I havent found a short chassis of 1u with 2 x 5.25 slots yet. If you have any idea for that it would great. The 5.25 to nvme modules I want to use are these : MB873MP-B V2_8...

I'm looking at multiple sellers of MZ-ILS3T80 PM1633 SAS SSDs. A few of them explicitly say 512B and others don't. Do these have any known longevity or other issues to be aware of? These are for light home use, so I'm not too worried about them being used. Things I am unsure of: Can they be...

Hello!! I am troubleshooting disks not being recognized by my HBA. I have an overkill HBA for my purpose purchased used from eBay but I figured it would still work for my purpose and was reasonably priced. For my setup, I'm running: Server HPE DL360 Gen 9 x2 Intel Xeon E5-2690 v3 x2 16GB...

I saw this the other day, they looked really good. The only thing I'm concerned about is the UGOS Pro OS, I would love one of these with TrueNas or some other established OS' Also because of past kickstarter experience I'd be hesitant on supporting it. I'm currently in queue to be added to the...

After six months of research and development，N100&N305 nas board finally launched. N100&N305 NAS BOARD See more details:N100&N305 NAS BOARD

(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...
