nas

Hi all, new here. I am looking into building a nas for mixed use: video production and file sharing. I suspect that the speed and amount of drives I would put into it would more than saturate a 10gbe connection. If I want to get 20-25gb speeds, what is the best most economical way to go about...

I want to build a NAS in a Supermicro CS846 chasis with the BPN-SAS2-846EL1 backplane. I am planning on using either OMV, UnRaid, or Windows 11 LTSC as the OS. The NAS is mainly going to focus as a storage server with SnapRaid though I might run a few other services, e.g. immich, paperless-ngx...

Hello there, I need some motherboard suggestions, and whether I can salvage parts of my old server: It has been 13 years since I built a file server for my home: SUPERMICRO SYS-5027R-WRF 2U Server Barebone LGA 2011 DDR3 1600 Intel Xeon E5-2609 2.4GHz LGA 2011 80W Quad-Core Server Processor...

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...

I’ve got a HP EliteDesk 800 G4 with a i5-8500 running Proxmox VE 8.4 I keep having issues where the machine wont boot into the OS. Sometimes I’m getting a POST bleep error indidicating there’s a display failure / graphics card error / video card memory issue. The machine’s main purpose is a...

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...

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...
