Chumbawumba4ever97 posted:Well in my scenario I would need to know which drive has which files on it in case one dies. I was just wondering how I could get a weekly file list dump of a drive with no letter associated to it. Oh ok. You can mount the drives in a subfolder but there is no point. Just do what you are doing.

Hey I need some goon help. Basically I have been using mobos with a lot of SATA ports for my NAS. I'd like to not have to find mobos like this anymore. Obviously I need a PCIe sata card. From what I remember I need an LSI flashed to IT mode (for doing software raiding). I need help selecting the correct card and cables. The OS will just be Windows 10 Pro and 10x Hitachi 4TB NAS drives. I would like about 12 SATA connectors... not sure how that is accomplished. Should I be looking at something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LSI-SAS-92...eAAAOSwoZle8b81?

SamDabbers posted:Yes, those LSI 92xx SAS cards are the gold standard in inexpensive, robust, and compatible SATA/SAS expansion. The flashing process isn't particularly difficult if you do get one that doesn't already have IT firmware on it. OK save a few bux that way? Cool. Seems the cheapish ones have a max of 2 ports so 8 SATA drives? Do I need to buy 2x of them or maybe a different set of breakout cables?

BlankSystemDaemon posted:If you get a LSI SAS HBA, you can get SAS expander(s) - which can be daisy chained as far as you like. They can be had for ~$15. So I think one of these plus the HBA? https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-PCIe-SA...yMAAOSwsMZdSFDD Looks like i need at least 2x PCI 4x slots to make this work. Hmm.

SwissArmyDruid posted:Wendell over at Level 1 has been exploring Engenius products as an alternative. I say, if a guy like him is willing to install it into his house over Ubiquiti, it's probably got something going for it. Looking over pricing, they seem comparable. I installed some Engenius 2.4ghz stuff in a hotel about 8 years ago and they are still working flawlessly. Ancedotal but something. MIKROTIK needs some loving wifi 6 stuff. Their poo poo is rock solid for easy home and soho stuff.

SCheeseman posted:What other brands in the same price range are usable or provide all their features without the need for usage of cloud services? Not rhetorical I actually want to know this. I was using Hikvision cameras until recently. Still the rebrands are decent values and solid.

When google said they were stopping the free photo storage I decided to do Nextcloud on a linux server. Threw that through Cloudflare. Tossed apps on my phone. AWESOME!!

FISHMANPET posted:I recently discovered that my 8 port raid card in my NAS appears to have died. It was a card using the LSI SAS 2008 chipset (an IBM M1015, the one that everybody was using 7 years ago when I first got it). Maybe this happened: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/82469-fake-lsi-hba-cards-on-ebay/

BurgerQuest posted:Frankly for home storage I can't see any reason you'd use Windows vs almost anything else. It will cost more, be less supported by a community and almost certainly perform worse. Stablebit Drivepool and Windows is a nice combo, I have 8x4TB. Then I can run windows programs on remote desktop.. such as quickbooks, qb torrent, Ivideon security software and then i throw a PFsense into a hyperv for my router. Works NICE. I do not have the time or need to dive into linux.

Volguus posted:Like me last week: rm -rf /usr/local/somefolder * . I accidentally put a space before the * . I was in the home folder. Removed a good chunk since I have a nvme in the 4-5 seconds that it took me to realize the disaster. But, I back up my home folder every week on the local NAS and from there to Backblaze B2. I lost some files, the files that I didn't back up: Downloads folder (I mean ... they're downloads, the internet does the backup), the Android folder (where the IDE resides) other insignificant crap that I didn't want to backup and the Desktop folder. I had a couple of PDFs in there that I feel a bit sorry I lost. Not a big deal, but why the hell I excluded the Desktop from the backup? Beats me. I used to make the rm command do a move to a /tmp folder and cleared that out periodically.

RMA it. Bad blocks isn't the only way a HD can fail.

modeski posted:I am researching my next NAS. Currently I'm running Windows Home Server 2011 with Stablebit Drivepool on some 4Tb/8Tb drives on an Athlon FM2 with 8Gb of RAM. I built the server in 2014 and it's time for a new one (and new drives) I've never cared for RAID much as I prefer to maximize storage. Maybe only 500Gb-1Tb of user-created pics/vids/documents is important to me and I back that data up elsewhere. I can always redownload Linux ISOs and re-backup my media, but I do want at least 30Tb of usable space. You can always do what I do and use Stablebit Drivepool on Windows 10 Pro. Been rocking and rolling for me for the last 4-5 years that way after WHS died.
