This is like SO close (may still be worth it). Loved everything but the processor. I hope there is a Rev 2 with a processor that can last. It's a NAS so it's not something you want to replace in a year or two. I want it for a decade. Everything else is great, but that processor is just gonna get worse and it seems too strained doing some things now. It may certainly be worth it for some people that just want a new NAS and don't stream from it, though. I hope enough people to get an upgraded one. P.S. I would really like LTT too spend more time in the "mid-tier" space again with things like this. It's fun looking at $100,000 servers but it doesn't really help most people and prices are running so high right now, we need more practical idea coverage.

@ You mean fortunately? They only match the slowest 7th gen i3s performance, and only in multithreading (the i3s are dual cores, a sin in 2023) - keep in mind those same chips still can't match 2nd gen i7s.

My nas is heavily moddified and upgraded and I love it. It's an old HP Mediasmart EX495 that I got on ebay and I upgraded the cpu from a dual core celery stick, to a core 2 quad Q8200. The ram was 2gb of ddr2 but I upgraded to a 4gb stick (max amount). The machine didn't have any output, but I bought a special adapter that fits to the motherboard and gives you a VGA port and added it to the case (dremel work required). I went into the bios and changed the boot disk from one of the hard drive bays to one of the usb ports and installed OpenMediaVault as my operating system so I can utilize all 4 hard drive bays for storage instead of 3. I got 4 2TB seagate hard drives totaling 8TB of storage but set them up in Raid 5 so I get roughly 5.84TiB. Overall, I'm very pleased with the result. I spent much less for the size and quality compared to modern day NAS machines. Obviously not as fast, 1 gigabit, but I also prevented this equipment from becoming e-waste and repurposed it for years to come. It serves as my Jellyfin server and basic file storage across my network. In all, I probably spent around $430.

Sad that unless you want to pay like over $1K you'll get a Celeron or even just an ARM CPU. Why is it so hard to put in an i3 or ryzen 3? Those CPUs are really cheap and so much more powerful... There's no need for i5 and up either. Edit: I think I should add that those ARM CPUs are extremely basic and slow, these Celerons are much better if you have to choose between one or the other. You won't get some flagship snapdragon within any of these pre-built NAS systems.

I was just looking 2 days ago to see if any of the current NAS options had processors that could beat out an 11 year old 6-core Xeon @ 1.9 GHz. I was very surprised to find that most of them were just barely faster due to the processors being either Atom or Celeron. There were a couple that had Ryzen embedded chips, but they were both released in 2018 which means they are Zen 1. Those were a good jump above the Xeon at least, but with less of a power consuption advantage as the other chips and being out of date already, I might as well just buy another used server CPU.

I actually upgraded my plex server recently from a celeron j5040 machine to a 5600g which now doubles as an office/web surfing and even light gaming pc I just used a cheap b450 board with 4 sata ports and threw in another sata controller for additional drives. - What are you even doing with your life if your library is below 50tb? - Whole build (no drives) in an old and free office case with 3d printed accessories was around 350 Eurodollars including a new psu that is really efficient at low loads. The bequiet purepower 11 400w turned our to be a better choice than most 250w psus, while also not breaking the bank. Idling behaviour is also super chill, as ryzen g is basically a socketed laptop cpu and tuned well for efficiency. Thought of going intel first, but since 12th gen they threw efficiency at idle pretty much overboard for some reason.

I change my router's management port to something less common and saw a lot less hacking attempts from my firewall log. It takes little time to port scan but it's still better to not be a easy target as some non-targeted automated hacking trying default passwords just moves on to another IP if they miss the default ports.

Nothing strange about it. I have a neat rush 72 backpack for like 180usd, and an Ogio renegade backpack for 160, which some might argue is crazy for a backpack. But I know these will most likely last for decades, and are very functional. If you use a tool a lot, investing in one that while expensive, provides good functionality and is pleasant to use is the way to go.

@flameshana9 11 месяцев назад

It'd be great to see you build one just like that but with a more powerful processor, and still keep it budget. The main problem I see is fitting so many ssds, you'd need m.2 pci cards for that, and these are pricey. Then go crazy on it and build a killer one with ecc, zfs, and a decent board that has management like gigabyte has (l1 mentioned it in one of his videos, it's amd with ecc support and an ipmi analogue, but it's hard to get and rather expensive)

@michaelstora70 9 месяцев назад

I believe there are 4 PCI lanes dedicated to the 12 M.2 slots. I suspect if you built Raid5x4 and chose slots on different PCI lanes (probably ever 3rd) you could maximize writes.
