Hello! I am looking for a NAS for my father's small business, he needs a storage solution for archived data that may need to be referenced (manual backup), space to back up his laptop on a regular basis (hopefully automated), and to handle surveillance video (3 cameras 640x480, looking to upgrade and expand). I wanted to see if you guys have any recommendations for an off the shelf solution (ex QNAP, Synology) that would be the best fit. We are looking to do RAID 5 or RAID 6 and have a good surveillance video tools

last year i have purchase 3 x 14 TB easy store drives for shucking purposes. I was going to get another 3 drives this year but vacation got in the way of black friday. I was thinking about taking my current desktop which is a Pentium G3258 with 24 gigabytes of memory install the drives, 1 SSD for a cache drive and use Unraid. I see that in the past couple of pages that this is an avenue to go. I have a Lenovo m920q with 32 gigs of memory running my docker containers. If i am running one or two containers on the unraid box will the G3258 be sufficient to run unraid? Also say down the line i want to add more drives to a pool, would it be easy to do this?

A year ago I bought 3 x 14 tb easy stores and now I just ordered 3x18 tb. Once the 18TBs arrive I’m going to decommission my desktop and turn it into a unraid box. Goal is to move all the content from my google drive (48TB). I would like to find a cloud storage solution that I can back up the NAS on. Would it be possible to use the $7 black blaze option?

Question: I have this motherboard (.https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813130695 ), is there a SATA expansion card that i should get? right now i have 1 SSD and 3 x 16 TB drives in a Z1 configuration. I plan to add 3 x 14 TB in Z1 in the same pool, and if the ability to expand a pool comes around, i would like to add one more 14 and 16 tb drive too the Z1 config. Out of all the slots, i am only using 1 PCI with an nvidia graphics card that I was hoping to pass through so I can reclaim my desktop (might be a bad idea since its a Intel Pentium G3258 )

Wibla posted:Can also recommend surge protectors That too. was hoping for a sale on an APC So the computer turns on but nothing shows up on the screen. the screen is blank Im going to start removing hardware until it starts posting. it would be a shame to lose the graphics card. I think i am more frustrated with adding another item to the already kilometer long todo list.

its a MSI Z87-G41, the case doesnt have a speaker (antec 300), or a light or a 7 segment thing. its a really old machine equipped with a G3258, the specs make it look like a ford fiesta but it was zippy enough to be my every day linux machine. i have another antec case that might have a speaker, if it does i'll pop it off and try to plug it in.
