Loving these alternative NAS vids. The opportunities for using something different to the norm are good to see - and seem more cost effective too. Thanks! 👍👍

@Britec09 8 месяцев назад

Glad you like them!

@perrypereyra6671 8 месяцев назад

Thanks Britec!!!, this is really the best and most matched to what I have been wanting to do with my decade old laying-around laptop. the usual RU-vid search only giving me near or complete NAS system with whatever jargon mirroring file table whatnot that I'm really dumb that I just fell asleep.

Outstanding video. I'm planning on using a HP Elitedesk 800 g4 mini as a NAS. I mainly use Linux but have a Windows machine as well. Your video makes setup look easy. Thanks!

@RocknR00ster 3 месяца назад

A NAS (Network Attached Storage) with a small amount of storage capability without the option to expand beyond one other drive (SSD). Might as well just get an external drive and cut your power usage even more. I never understood why someone would go this route.

@@Britec09 I'm very interested．I currently have Minisforum UM790 Pro and I'd like to that or equivalent product from Minisforume and turn it into a commpact NAS. Since I am not a gamer, the primary objective would be for remote access of data and some media streaming. Oh, and would openmediavalut be a preferred NAS OS vs TrueNAS Core?

I bought a used i5-6300u laptop for $70, upgraded the m2 NGFF to 1TB for $40, and installed Ubuntu on it. It now runs Immich and Jellyfin in Docker containers and works really well. Using a domain I bought a couple years ago, I can still access Immich on my phone when on mobile data outside the house. This has gotten me interested in home servers so I'm now researching affordable NAS options.

@Frosty_2506 4 месяца назад

Thanks. Had a spare mini PC and wanted to tinker with OMV. Gotta say I'm already liking it better than Truenas.

@NBeev1 8 месяцев назад

I bought an old micro M93 for peanuts with 4gb of ram to use for this purpose. I struggled getting OMV to work as a Nas for whatever reason, what I found to work alternative was to use Ubuntu, which runs my Plex server, and for the NAS part which is just for backing up my data from my main machine I use a program called Syncthing which mirrors the folders on each machine over the network, I use it on my phone too. I may give OMV another try one day but for now I'm happy with my set up

@jimzielinski946 8 месяцев назад

Can you demo the Linux software actually working with the USB based raid box you list? I've went this route before and found out after the fact that a 5 bay USB raid box I selected (a different brand), seems to function no more than a USB hub. Windows didn't accept it for it's RAID function. Truenas with or without Proxmox didn't work either. SoftRAID in Windows did work so I'm using that. (SoftRAID isn't bad, but I really wanted to run the RAID on a Linux server.) I don't fully understand why, but it seems that compatibility may depend on if the USB raid box is recognized as a SCSI, or possibly as a SAS device.

@DubSe7en 8 месяцев назад

How many connections will it accept? Does it have any automatic backup methods? Currently running a server on windows 10 using true image and back blaze for backup, it works perfectly but am running out of connections it can accept so looking at alternatives but having reliable backup is critical.

@singhparambir 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video... quick questions... How do you compare this with Synology DSM? If I do not want to use internal SSD, can I use 2 or 3 USB HDD for storage? If yes will I be able to do RAID on them?

@YannMetalhead 3 месяца назад

Meh, expected you to open it up, remove the wifi module, add sata ports and find a clever way to power two drives

@tonybaynes 7 месяцев назад

Great video, thank you. I have one problem though, OMV6 does not appear to support RAID on USB attached storage. Is there a workaround? I purchased the Sabrent 4 bay 2.5" USB 3 enclosure, and OMV6 recognises the drives, but I cannot use RAID. Truenas, on the other hand, will only see one of my 2TB drives at a time, but if I connect my drives via USB to SATA cables, it sees both and allows me to create a RAID 1 array, which at least gives me some data redundancy. OMV6 would be perfect if I could find a workaround for creating a RAID array.

@SebasSant87 6 месяцев назад

I believe OMV does not allow you to create raid through usb cuz is too unreliable, but there is this guy that made a das into a nas with a mini pc that explain how to bypass this

@andre0000000007 7 месяцев назад

thank you. i'm very interested. could you kindly update this guide with the addition of a 4bay jbod via usb ? with a mention of how/where does the redundancy go? i'm a bit overwhelmed by this, truenas,unraid so at the moment i just have a win10 machine sharing folders as my standalone nas. i tried storagespaces but that got nerfed with a hard limit on TB with an update (apparently MS wanted people to pay for the server version). so i was just about to investigate drivepool+snapraid but this looks more of a complete solution. tia.

@Britec09 8 месяцев назад

@siva2k23 29 дней назад

is it possible to combine multiple storage devise into one storage? i.e. the 2TB SSD and another 2TB or 1TB SSD together? if that is possible then this kind of dedicated PC as a NAS is reasonable! I have achieved a 2TB Storage via just plug in my 2TB SSD to the Network Router and connected all the computer in the house with SMP and it is working great. The router with USB 3.0 is the maximum speed you can find in the market. I can stream video on the TV from the server without any issues. if someone not need a blazing fast file transfer then this kind if set up is useful.

@mqcapps 8 месяцев назад

What's the difference between a nas v a bunch of drives?

@andre0000000007 7 месяцев назад

jbod is usually attached to 1pc via usb. nas has the drives in one place for all pc's to access. nas usually automates backups, gives permissions to different users, etc. having said that, you could share every drive in your jbod enclosure if that suits.
