I keep my PC running, have a Define R6 with plenty of HDD bays.

collecting dust for last 3 years since i moved to a new apartment....

>You do have one right?
3x 2tb Western Digital "purple" drives in a HP Dc7800. Redundancy for family photos and other things that I would really like to not lose. It sits up in the attic where no one ever ventures, and works great.

I keep my spinning rust inside my case.

Currently plex and soon pihole. May use it with security cameras since my apartment complex has had an influx of shit heads lately.

Anime and cosplay porn.

Storage.

Went big thinking I'd fill it fast but I've only used 3TB on various movie/tv/anime/romsets

Freenas 12x2TB as raidZ2, so about 13TB usable. Even still I'll probably bump up to 4TB drives in a year or two.

That looks like the board I want for my NAS.
Currently using an Intel board that only has two SATA ports, a mini PCI-e I'm using for USB3 and a fucking PCI slot.
That board and a USB3 PCI-e expansion card would let me change to RAID5.

yeah it was a nice find. all those ports and pci-e slot for expansion card was a good find.

it has a really old notebook dual core equivalent to a i3 3217U so should be more than enough for simple NAS and the iGPU is nice if i ever need to hook up a screen.

i just hope it still works cus it's been in the closet for years and i never tested it when i bought it

a diy zfs nas would be comfy, but i don't need one of those yet

Nice "Investment"

Get an ioSafe then, you nig

That looks a lot better. Also quite comfy.
It's actually not hard at all, modern SPARC CPUs are still using the exact same SPARC v9 instruction set and are fully binary compatible. So support for the arch is still alive, compilers still get optimizations and fixes. This is what happens when you make a proper instruction set, as opposed to the half-assed clusterfuck that is x86 with its four million new instructions per year.

Just use a fucking VM with dedicated hard-drives. Your desktop computer is on 24/7 anyways, you fucking loser.

Personally, I run Debian on mine - as well as 2x8tb drives attached to it.

I was at a pawn shop last month and some nigger walked in with two 17inch dell LCD monitors and the pawn guy said he didn't want them even at $10 for both

someone will fucking give you a better monitor friendo get on craigslist

Why would you need a NAS if you have a server?

oh, and I run the following on it
nginx/letsencrypt docker container
rtorrent + vpn + proxy docker container (proxy connections from other dockers through VPN)
jackett docker container
sonarr docker container
radarr docker container
bazarr docker cotnainer
EMBY docker container (Will move to jellyfin once it is more usable)
OMBI docker container
pihole docker container
ddclient docker container
watchtower docker container

I use Kodi on an nvidia shield as front-end for HTPC stuff.

In the event that it all crashes - takes me 1 minute to set it all back up due to backup of docker container configs + written a personal script for all settings I need on the linux environment (fstab entries, folder creations, IP-ports, users and groups, security (mainly SSH certificate) applications and etc).

Lower power consumption I'd assume. Only reason I'd get one over a dedicated server.

>initial NAS price is like 100-400$
>save like 20-30$ a year on electricity

Hurray.

Just use a fucking VM.

I have an old i5 lenovo desktop with a 4-port SATA controller card connected to a 8-bay 2.5" hotswap dock that I use as a seedbox and NAS

Currently I have four 2TB HDDs in a software RAID5 array.

It's main purpose is so I can torrent and store HD JAV porn and fap to it from the comfort of my PC or phone
I also have backups of game ISOs and Steam game backups, music, the usual stuff

>Your desktop computer is on 24/7 anyways, you fucking loser
nope

if you already have a server sure, but running that shit on my gaming pc is fucking retarded

Anime, weebs music and doujin.
Also stored some rare old games.

Is it a bad idea to run games off of a NAS? Other than game roms which will just sit in Ram on the other computer anyway.

>but running that shit on my gaming pc is fucking retarded

These VMs run 24/7 on my computer that I use for playing games. No noticable impact in any game. And that's a bunch of VMs, not just a NAS (fyi I run 2700x and 32gb ram - I previously ran i5-4690k and 16gb ram with same setup - but I used to shut off LAB VMs when I was done, now I don't even bother since they don't impact performance in games anyways).

Attached: vm.jpg (524x222, 39K)

This.

I used to use a intel NUC, now I just run everything on a VM with dockers. Much easier.

im not going to run my pc 24/7 so it's fucking retarded

I always wanted to make one just for fun but I realize I never save anything anyway. What's the point?

Why not?

Why are you so opposed to running your PC 24/7 opposed to a NAS 24/7? a NAS is basically just a shitty computer, you know.

because i can put the NAS wherever the fuck i want since it doesnt need a desk and a chair

I just have a bunch of external drives, I've been thinking about setting up a NAS though.

hey do you have cute legs that you can post for me please? ;3

also what are those headphones? they look really comfy
alsdo nice kinder egg

go back to your dedicated fag thread and stop shitting up the rest of the board

What? That doesn't make much sense my friend. if you already claim to have a desktop computer, wouldn't you already have a desk + chair?

Using a VM means 0 extra physical hardware (except for hard-drives which can be mounted internally, you know).

I'm using one of these boards with a skylake Pentium works pretty well as a nas/torrent/Plex server. Think I'm gonna have to get something else due to needing more sata ports though. Currently has two drives on data and one on usb

i dont want to have a box running 24/7 where my desktop is you dipshit

>needing more sata ports
thats why i bought one with pci-e slot

Okay, but for what reason?

Are you just defensive because you're being pressed?

I wanted to put it in an nes case this is the only mono that would fit kek

>defensive
no, you're just too fucking retarded to understand people are not like yourself

please neck yourself so you dont contaminate the human genepool

Personally, my gaming pc was a much larger investment so having that be on constantly doesn't do it for me. Power surges also happen a ton where I live, so I'd rather fry a little replaceable shit box than my PC.

A NAS is a server.
Desktop computer is close to where I sleep. Server is in a closet. You can guess which one of the two I keep on all the time.

Look into noise-isolating your computer. A proper computer should be near-silent when it's not being used for extremely heavy tasks.

Surge protector


Physical NAS devices are a scam, only made to get people to buy shitty hardware at premium prices.
>inb4 people with buyers regret spam this post

>noise-isolating your computer
just stop posting you fucking moron

>he doesn't have backups
No matter what you need a second machine.

literally no one in this thread except OP has even implied you should buy a shitty prebuilt NAS.

Are you larping as thad?

I don't need one, my PC is the only place I'd access it from, so might as well just put the drives in there. and I never turn it off anyway.

RAID is pointless for my use case, and my backups are off-site.

I fucking wish, but good equipment is expensive.

dont buy prebuilt

I have a desktop PC with a bunch of HDDs in it that doubles as a media server. NASes are a bitch to fix when the crap out, desktop PCs are easy.

NAS isnt any specific kind of hardware, user.

this is also a NAS

I have an old laptop with an i5, would it be worth it to start with this connected to drives via usb, or should I build something more traditional?

if you dont mind the abysmal transfer speeds, sure. but i wouldnt do it cus of battery concerns

>snes mini

Of course I do.

I hoard a lot of data, might be overdoing it...

>buying overpriced Synology

i use an sbc with a 4tb easystore. works for me

I'd think the USB3 ports in one of these might already support UASP, at which point you can even run a handful of drives in RAID off that at decent speed.

But USB enclosures aren't terribly cheap when you get to more drives.

> but good equipment is expensive.
It's pretty cheap, actually. Although I guess it depends on HOW good you want it to be.

But some little ARM SBC with one 24/7 drive or two that just keeps on hosting services and doing another replica of your data whenever a device wants to backup, or even some low power x86_64 with a handful of drives are really pretty cheap.

Backups

I have a home server which handles RAID and file storage as well, so yeah you could say I have a NAS I guess, it's not dedicated to that alone however. It stores media, backups, projects I made and a bunch of other shit.

questions,

- how do you guys set up the drives for network sharing? Like, what options are there? I only know of SMB, CIFS, and ISCSI. I have mine set up as ISCSI because it was the closest to what it's like having an internal drive, but I get worse speeds there, I can only get around 700-800mbit on a gigabit line. Checksum packets are off and MTU is at 9k (with 1.5k I only got ~500 mbit). With SMB I could saturate the full gigabit line.
- what options are there for a NAS with a 10gbe connection with 4 bays minimum?

I see a lot of stuff out there like Helius4 but they all use gigabit only, or they are in the $500+ category.

hpe n40l / microserver line has 4 drive support and get shilled here often, they have a 16x slot.
Have you considered teaming multiple gig lines (if they are available)?
Also if you have a closet or spare room you should totally look at decommissioned servers labgopher.com/, will give you the benefit of ECC and massive expandability.

>Have you considered teaming multiple gig lines (if they are available)?

Yeah, it's too problematic to set up (I'm under Windows) and won't get better speeds for single transfers (single large file copies).

>Video streaming/hoarding (1080p, NFS) (LAN connected to a nvidia ShieldTV, so not depending on internet connectivity)
>Web Server (TinyIB)
>local Git hosting (private projects)
>Backups
maybe an alernative to gapps to sync contacts in the future.

QNAP TS-431. It's modest, but does it's job.

I pretty much just have all my drives in docks and internally right now. Planing to get a switch and some ram to set up my old rig with freenas or something with some 4tb drives and a parody raid setup.

Because I run single board computer as nas, that's 10-15W vs 80-100W

PC is shitty computer or so called DIY shitbox
NAS is dedicated machine

>- what options are there for a NAS with a 10gbe connection with 4 bays minimum?
DIY or typical enterprise-advertised Synology, Qnap and so on.

I'd just DIY.

>I see a lot of stuff out there like Helius4 but they all use gigabit only, or they are in the $500+ category.
Yes, of course. $500+ is normal for the bigger/faster premade NAS. It's probably mainly where the respective companies make their money.

I used to build my own then I bought a synology DS416j. Flawless victory.

>no drives

throw it away

Just a 8TB disk connected via USB 3 to Linksys WRT1200AC running openWRT

I run pfSense on my home server and obviously I don't want my router to turn off every time I turn off my machine. It's also pretty retarded to virtualize a NAS running on your main machine instead of just running it bare metal, unless you're a winshitter or already have a bunch of other VMs running 24/7, which most people don't.

NAS doesn't necessarily mean consumer shit, you can just run a file-sharing VM on your server to make it a NAS.

Hah, what speeds are you getting on that, 15mbyte/sec?

this was 6 months ago

you think its sitting there with no drives?
