I thought the previous one would die sooner edition.
--> Quick Questions Quick Replies Why would I want a NAS/Homeserver? If you ask why then you don't need it.
>I want a NAS/HTPC/Plex what should I get? RPi3 or Odroid XU4/HC1. Odroid upper models has USB 3 and USB bus separated from the Ethernet one.
>B-But muh ARM Then check the onboard x86 like J4105B-ITX, J4205B-ITX or J4205-ITX. All of them have SATA and USB 3.
>What's the best [software] for doing [ask]? Specify you question and elaborate. If you want help put something from your side.
>Which disk is better for my homeserver? Seems like Green WD are not sold nowadays. So WD Reds are okay for the price if you want "NAS Drvies". Otherwise HGST and Toshiba are your friends.
Got one of these off ebay. It is in fact the ASUS libreboot compatible board. There are 2 other Microway servers on eBay with the same board. Just a few warnings >The documentation is pure ass >takes almost 2 minutes to boot after librebooting. >uses SeaBios instead of grub >SeaBios has awful documentation. >No usb booting after libreboot. It was very easy to libreboot, but don't encrypt your boot drive unless you want to go through the hell of reinstalling your os on this machine like I am now...
I suppose this might be the best place to ask, but why is there such a significant leap in price between a 4Tb drive and a 6Tb?
Do they make the platters out of a different more reliant material, or the production method more advanced and costly?

I'm making sure to write everything down that way I can make someone else's life easier in the future. Sadly it probably won't be till next week till I have enough time to get it all done.

Bumping with Changelog
>Updated the WD Green not being sold anymore >Updated news
I was about to check if the "Muh ARM" section was on date but I can't recall it anymore. I would have to dive among /hsg/ from winter or so.

Is there even some proper arm server, besides maybe the sun sparc thingies.
