NihilCredo posted:Well I don't need a lot of storage but I do need more than that. If you're going with unreliable storage, you could do worse than an RPi + one of those USB 3 to SATA doodads? The cheapo ones can power SSDs, you'll need an external power supply for anything that spins, because I don't think any flavor of RPi has USB-PD yet. edit: Oh right, I came into this thread for a reason. Looking for a stopgap measure until 10 Gbit comes down in price more, what's a good cheapo option that I haven't thought of because the above is what I'm using now.

DrDork posted:How cheap are you looking? You can get 10Gb fiber cards for <$30 any day on eBay, SFP+'s for $5, and a 4-port switch for $130. And LC-LC cables are dirt cheap, too. "comes standard on the next motherboard I buy when I build a new system" cheap.

Do we have any opinion on QNAP? I'm looking at their 2020 product stack and edging towards them over Synology.

rufius posted:I really like my little TVS-471. I would definitely buy another QNAP. Had bad exp with Synology previously so I’m wary to try them again. Also QNAP seem to be the only ones pushing 2.5/5 gigabit interfaces on their NASes, or have the provisions to upgrade with the built-in PCIe slot, which appeals to my sense of futureproofing. Which makes it all the more bizarre to me the other NAS oems aren't doing the same, considering that the extra cost over gigabit is like... a banana.

KozmoNaut posted:I had found basically the perfect PSU for my little server build, a 300W Seasonic with a quiet fan and it was 80 PLUS Gold rated. Now apparently it's completely out of stock, as in not even visible on the site anymore. It's still on my order specification, but I don't have high hopes I feel that you may be mistaken about how power supplies work. Power supplies are not a pump that is blasting the maximum wattage the entire time, devices only pull as much power as they need. The 300W mark is a hard cap on what your devices can pull. Your power supply could be a theoretical 800W SFX, and still be perfectly quiet and 80+ Gold. That said, If it's genuinely the form factor you're looking for, I think Seasonic has moved all their non-L SFX power supplies to the industrial line. Otherwise I think your alternative is Silverstone. SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 13:25 on Jul 10, 2020 |

Sure. Except for the part where it's FOURTEEN HUNDRED CLAMS.Sub Rosa posted:Hey so when should I not even give a poo poo about ECC ram in a consumer grade NAS and when I should I?

Sweet.

You know, it used to be that I wouldn't ever touch a Seagate drive, having had a number of them die in very short order, circa.... I want to say, 2005ish. I used almost exclusive Maxtors, and then WDs when Maxtor got bought out, but now? Man, WD is starting to give me a reason to reconsider the Seagate fatwa.

sharkytm posted:They know they've got the market cornered, so they're just loving everyone over and thinking it won't cost them market-share. Short-term gains over long-term brand loyalty, I guess. Maybe this is the push I need to go entirely flash.

Does anyone know of a NAS that might only use like, a pair or trio of 2.5" drives? Trying to fit everything into a 4-inch-wide wallbox is harder than I thought it would be.

HalloKitty posted:I find this faintly amusing, seeing as far as I know, there's nothing better for the price. I remember being quoted for wifi in a school building, and all the quotes were sky high (and some with centralised controllers, or "cloud" dependencies) compared to just buying some unifi gear, with clear prices on each piece upfront Wendell over at Level 1 has been exploring Engenius products as an alternative. I say, if a guy like him is willing to install it into his house over Ubiquiti, it's probably got something going for it. Looking over pricing, they seem comparable.

SCheeseman posted:What other brands in the same price range are usable or provide all their features without the need for usage of cloud services? Not rhetorical I actually want to know this. Hikvision is unbeatable in terms of hardware, but they are heavily subsidized by the Chinese government, and their firmware is an absolute black box, with a bootloader that's got more obscured spaghetti code in it than there is actual spaghetti in the entire Asian continent. Security types and crazy people like me view that with a great deal of suspicion.
