“Affordable” in that the 4TB drives are $180 each! This thing as configured by Linus is nearly $1000. I realize you can use 2TB drives but it would still be about $600 that way. That’s a lot of hassle and nearly 5 years of cloud storage.

@@fuelvolts that price is for fast storage, as mentioned in the video, just run 3.5" drives and pay less then 1/4 of the price. pretty sure you can get 12TB drives for under 200. for NVME storage, 180 for 4TB IS affordable. even at these slower speeds (compared to gen 4/5 etc) youve still got the convenience of 1. less likely for a physical failure (in terms of the HDD dying etc) and 2. way smaller / quieter. a couple 3.5" drives will be bigger than the entire PCB.

@thepokerus4184 Месяц назад

I am a Networking Desktop engineer, for context: Great video! very useful and practical, but for certain clientele. This is great for people who need massive storage, this will save so much $$$. However, for the average user family who only needs to back up pictures, 1tb per person (total 6 users) at $99yr, with office 365 included, hard to beat. Which is why even though I have NAS at home, its only private, not public, not worth it yet. Maybe in the future. This set up isn't for the average user but still amazing to see how compatible it is with many third party apps and powerful the device is while being very affordable.

@MartinKovacik 13 дней назад

Indeed ... also a professional cloud service solves e.g. the high availability/storage redundancy topic for you so if a regular user should setup 2 of those, operating the 2nd one in an offsite location with (appropriately fast) internet connection and backup and/or continuous sync job in place ... not to mention the configuration effort, keeping updates/security, etc. it might really just be more efficient to purchase a cloud account. I myself operate 2 NASes with RAID at 2 locations and following a proper HW lifecycle I already calculated that a cloud offering would be more efficient for me. So I just do it myself because I like it as an IT nerd 🥰 and that's why I am looking forward to getting my hands on this toy as well 😅😍.

@prop19yes 12 дней назад

Why continue to pay month by month for a service, when its cheaper to build your own nas, not to mention you have full control over it. Don't need internet access and such, what if you decide you are done paying for storage and you want your files back,well then you still need drives to put this on. So better off just building the nas from the get go.

@thepokerus4184 12 дней назад

@@prop19yes Again, not every user is going to be able to build this and this is not for everyone. You are assuming everyone can do this, they can't. If they could, I would not have a Job in IT 🤔 Also you are going to have to update & replace hardware overtime and failure, use up electricity and some 3rd part apps for NAS do have a cost.

Yeah as soon as I saw this video I thought it was stupid. Even with one 2 tb m.2 drive it'd be about 200 dollars total so you're looking at 2 years as a break even. Plus you are giving up the biggest benifets of cloud storage by hosting yourself. Clloud storage will be off-site and have some redundancy.

@benwilliams7382 Месяц назад

I think that's a little harsh considering. I agree that some of the benefits of cloud storage are not present, but I think the comparison of Nas to Nas between "all-in-one" enclosures Vs this do it yourself method yields some cost reductions. You definitely get some redundancy using raid, and you don't have to go nvme or a full 4*4tb system, you can scale to meet your needs

@MatzWerk Месяц назад

I don't know if a video could be useful, because it's more of a debate rather than a simple topic they could cover. How much data are you backing up? Do you need all of it backed up? Do you REALLY need all of it backed up? What is available to you? What's your threshold for maximum inconvenience? Some people don't want to hear it, but there's nothing wrong with using cloud for off-site storage, as long as the limitations aren't too limiting for your use case. For use-cases like photos, having them in your phone, backing up to cloud and periodically storing them on your PC fulfills 3-2-1, with the added advantage that you're always carrying one of the devices with you, and the off-site storage can be accessed wherever you can get an internet connection. And with photos, it's unlikely you will need more than one of the cheap basic tiers which cost something like 1-5$ a month.

pCloud offers 10TB of cloud storage with a one time lifetime subscription for around $1100, which is honestly pretty competitive with this offering, although likely not as fast as when you're on LAN. Not saying it's a replacement for a NAS, but it could be an "affordable" option (after 2 years given current cloud storage costs) for your offsite storage option.

@lifeinhd4053 Месяц назад

The problem, as briefly mentioned in the video, is the 3-2-1 rule, which stipulates that one copy of your data must be kept offsite. Cloud storage solves this, whereas your own NAS (kept at home) does not. I suppose you could keep it at a friend's house, but then you'd also have to ask them to poke holes in their firewall which they may be unwilling (or unable) to do. There are also the value-adds for "official" cloud services, such as easy document sharing with others, full device backup, iCloud Relay, Hide My Email, and again, not having to poke holes in your firewall to access your data outside your network. I can see the value of a home NAS if you just have several TB of ancient photos and videos you want to offload from your device, but even then you should still pay for some form of cold/archival storage offsite to satisfy the 3-2-1. Personally, I pay $3/mo for 200gb of iCloud storage, and IMO it's money very well spent.

You dont need to poke holes through their firewall, you can poke holes through your own firewall, and configure your remotely hosted NAS to VPN **to you** connecting your nas to your network as if it were right next to you.

You also have the “how do I sync with the NAS when away from my network” issue. Wait until you’re back isn’t great and doesn’t compare to the cloud.

I will say, as a business owner, I found a steal of a deal with Office 365. Not this good of a deal, but one I'm happy with since I need the email hosting and office products anyway. I get 1 TB per user for $5 per month and I host client video files. So if I sign on a new long-term client, they get their own email address and a dedicated 1 TB of storage thrown in for just $5 per month. I do a lot of UGC and remote video projects, too. So setting up my client with a shared space to dump files, and share delivery is super seamless. If I ever have a bigger operation, though, I'm thankful for videos like these.

Brilliant idea. I got a used mini PC for £30 here, £7 for an SSD to use as the boot drive, then £160 for a 12TB external HDD, I hooked that up with tailscale and I have that drive acessible anywhere. I also got a 1TB HDD off ebay for £7.50. That's for my duplicates of the important files/ offline/offsite backup. The HDD is more than powerful enough. I tested 10 devices playing back video at the same time off it. It's got an i3 4130t in it I think. SSDs are wasted on projects like this because most of the time you'll be throttled by either gigabit ethernet (125 mb/second max), or if you have the infrastructure at home 2.5 gigabit ethernet (~300 mb/second max). The SSDs go up to 3000-5000 mb/second if they're attached locally. And a high capacity HDD can do (200mb/second+). And if you're away from home you'll be throttled by very slow mobile data, wifi speeds, which at best will probably be gigabit (125 mb/second), and likely far far less. Unless you're in a big big city with 5G everywhere or a very powerful wired fibre connection 2.5Gigabit+ (which again is rare outside major cities / business connections / hotel connections) - it's wasted. Plus you'll also be limited by your home internet connection. I find it hard advocating for bulk SSD storage in something like this at at least 3-4x the price, plus all the extra boards and housing, when you're not going to get or need the throughput. It could be worthwhile if you need a small form factor and hyper power efficiency, will have lots of users using it simultaneously, or are doing direct video editing off it. Or if cost is not an issue to you - that's fine too! If you're not using it super intensively, HDDs can do the job amazingly well. They'll be idle most of the time, except when you're using them. Their capacities go much higher and I'd rather have 12TB of storage for the same price of 4TB SSD drive that will go at the same speed when it's in use.

I think the biggest problem is how do you set up an off site backup unless you own multiple homes and or own your own buesniess with a shop that has electricity 24/7. If you dont then you have to use a cloud service which defeats the whole point because they probably have redundant backups and they arent cheep enough to justify having that along with your own NAS. Back blaze is a cheeper option and thats still $6 per tb per month. Multiply that by 12 (since 1 of the drives will be redundant) and thats $864 a year.

@Shmuklidooha Месяц назад

I was planning on this, and the solution for me would be to have the offsite redundancy be held by a family member I can trust. They'd have to make space for it, but in exchange they could also make use it. We would all have our files be password-protected for privacy of course.

@n_core Месяц назад

I would say that sharing with a friend who's also interested in data backup and storage could be one of the options. Your friend has their offsite backup to be in your house and your offsite backup to be in their house.

If your backup goes under, you can go to your friend's house to restore your data.

@pe1ucas Месяц назад

It doesn't defeat the purpose, your backup isn't meant to be read directly, it's to restore your main drive, so you can put it into something slow and cheap, and with the current setup of cloud storage your data is fully available to the provider. With a backup you should encrypt your data before uploading it. Also, most probable you don't want to backup all the 12TB, unless you have a very similar need to linus to store and backup a lot of raw footage you'll probably only need less than a TB to store your critical data (i.e. data you can't download again from any other part from the internet) I have around 400GB of data worth backing up in the 3TB I have at home. The rest is media which if I lose I'll just go search to download it again.

@CanIHasThisName Месяц назад

Power is at most 33€ a year where I live, that's assuming 100% load 24/7 (which isn't realistic). No, Google drive or iCloud do not handle 3-2-1 for you. You can lose data on cloud, it happens. Cloud storage can at best be considered your off-site backup. The biggest hurdle people need to jump over when trying to implement 3-2-1 is realizing that perhaps they don't actually need to have backed up all of their hoarded data. Pretty much anything that can be recovered elsewhere isn't worth backing up. And 3-2-1 should only be applied to things you can't afford to lose. Let's be honest, lots of people hoard stuff they will never actually need. Once you start getting into the off-site part of storage, it's no longer just about the hardware, but also about the fact that you need to have that hardware somewhere. If it's too close to your home, it's exposed to many of the same risks as on-site. And in many use-cases it will actually turn out that Cloud isn't a bad solution, especially for low volume things like photos.

I'm an absolute noob to this, but I am a software engineer. I'm sure there's a learning curve to all of this, but I'm glad I stumbled onto your channel. Questions: - Can you easily set this up to be your "Time Machine" for your Apple Products? I work in web3 and I'm always terrified that someone is going to try to steal my laptops/phone since there's the assumption that they'll get my crypto wallet keys in the process. - The CPU on this specific build you're showcasing is really weak (understandably for the use-case and price point). Do you have any tutorials/guides on possibly building something powerful enough to run your own local LLM/Neural Network?

Oh, also... as a video creator that does programming tutorials, you're videos are SO NICE! Very very easy and enjoyable to watch. 10 stars. Got my like and subscribed.

Woah. Yup. This is awesome! I was trying to build a DIY NAS but couldn't lower it from $400. This is perfect!

@BioToxin Месяц назад

as a trucker space in the cab is a premium, but I need a nas with me because of how often I'm stuck in areas with either bad or no signal. so this is right up my alley. I've tried the apex board with a cable to put it in a small form factor. I tried the 12 bay flash nas. but there's something very attractive about this so I'm going to try this as well. I think more than likely it'll end up at home and I'll get a few to make a San or something, maybe make one pool for my Plex, one pool for my steam, etc. I am really looking forward to seeing any other versions they come out with. this would be perfect if they pushed out a double side pcb letting you do 8 or more ssds, and maybe a 10g base t though at that point I don't think the chip would handle it. but we're getting there!

I was looking for PCI-e NVME expansion cards, for 4 ssds and even with a fan just yesterday. The good point is that we can use on old ITX boards, but this device is really awesome. I would prefer to put money on upgrade my desktop instead and use my current hardware with pci-e NVME boards.

Didnt even know about this. Glad i waited to buy a NAS. Gonna set this up in triple RAID with some server hard drives.

The HDMI-In could, with some significant elbow grease, maybe make this a media-streaming device too, which will save you the purchase of a $100 stream-recorder. You'd definitely need the hardware video encoding to be working (given the small CPU), and it seems like CPU based often has a bit higher quality, but supposedly rk3588 can hardware encode HEVC 4k@120fps! More down to earth, worth mentioning that Jellyfin has hardware encode & decode/transcoding support for rk3588. Not sure what the streaming test was here, but I imagine this board could do a great job at Jellyfin. I do wonder how well it handles simultaneous streams, wonder how capable the encoder is at multitasking (can it do 4x 1080p60)?

I've always employed used HP business machines as home NAS servers. A $30 dual/quad core Intel box that can fit 3-5 hard drives makes a great addition to a network. I don't need cloud. I will always have my own.

I had an idea for using ZFS to auto sync backups that would make it really user frienly. It has a feature that lets you send a snapshot to a file, and with the command line you can generate a snapshot that is the diff of a prior snapshot and the current system. It would be a very user friendly feature to be able to plug in a USB drive, have it look at what the most recent snapshot is on that drive, then generate a new snapshot that is the diff of that prior and the current system. It would make it very easy to stagger differential backups between multiple backup devices. I.e. I take backup drive A out, and plug in drive B it pushes a snapshot to bring B up to date. I take A to the vault, grab drive C. I bring C back and plug it in, it gets a different snapshot(since C is further behind all the others, but the system sees its most recent snapshot on drive and does the diff to generate a new snapshot). Etc. Unfortunately the way their GUI integrates with ZFS is all through running commands and then parsing the textual output with python, which is a crazy fragile way to implement an integration.

@@goku445 It's you who doesn't understand, I'm an IT engineer with decades of experience. Think about those M.2 slots as just small PCIe slots, just like you can get SATA expansion cards for a regular PCIe slot you can also get SATA expansion cards for M.2 slots. They connect over PCIe the same as NVME SSDs.
