      I have a home server for storing media and photos. 1 x 16tb HDD raid 1 with backup 4 x 4tb ssd raid 0 and 4 x 22 tb hdd raid 5 for storage. Basically its a 82TB google drive.
      I also been buying more and more smart devices ( smart light bulbs, google chrome cast, smart plugs , cameras , ring , thermometer , google home) and kinda notice that internet is slower, the range and reception is weaker.
      My questions are
      1. Are my smart devices slowing down my internet / interfering the range?
      2. Should I get a wifi extender or an extra router for better range and connection?
      3. Should I have a separate server for my smart devices or should I use the same home server ?
      4. If you have a server for storage and more and more smart devices , how would you set it up?
      I would prefer the easiest and most cost-effective solution.
      Thx

      Clones are already there with some caveats, but realistically there isn't a good reason to go this route unless your only priority is power usage. A recycled desktop in won't take more space than the NUC plus it's external array and will be more flexible in every way.

I would give the Zima Cube a look if you can get your hands on one, it's a NAS solution, but it looks really interesting when looking at the connectivity options for their custom motherboard design. They have an N100 and I5-1260P models. Currently on kickstarter, but I know they have shipped working prototypes and close to production ready models to some CZcamsrs for testing. There is a good chance they'd ship you a model if you reached out. Would make for really interesting content.

      @Synthko Před 6 měsíci

      100% overkill, in fact you can buy a decent factory NAS for 600+ what he paid for the case, raid board and so on. The only thing going for it is that it's pretty small and has m.2 slots.
      For those people that wanna save a huge buck, buy a 10 year old matx PC, ddr4 one if you can, find sleek cooler and a smallest case that can fit 4 to 8 3.5 drives. You can now fill it with any kind of drives, add cooling and so on. One thing you might want to buy is a network card, cause not all of them support 1gbps speeds over rj45 and you might want wifi.

    @dlesterification Před 6 měsíci +1

    I'm having similar thunderbolt issues on startup with an Intel NUC and Yottamaster Thunderbolt DAS and Proxmox. I've been thinking it's the power-on sequence, or maybe it's just a delay after boot. Either way, eventually the drives become visible after much fiddling, and are stable until next power cycle. An UPS helps make that a pretty rare occasion.

    Wolfgang I am been watching your channel for a while and is one of my favourites, I was wondering if you can speak a little bit in one of your future videos about your router and switch you use, or how it integrates with your home network and your lab setup, and maybe the security of a home server in general. You are amazing mate. Thank you for puting so much work into your videos

  • @woofiewill
    @woofiewill Před 6 měsíci +1

    Thank you for your in depth video. You gave a very fair and balanced review of the Latte board that was informative. If the Arduino had actual integration in the main CPU somehow, at least being able to interface with the GPIO without having to flash the ESP every time, which is what I assume you have to do in this case, it would be more attractive. Mini PCs seem like the way to go right now though since I am interested in a good performance portable NAS.

  • @felderup
    @felderup Před 6 měsíci

  • @kevinhu196
    @kevinhu196 Před 6 měsíci +2

    I think the advantage of LattePanda is the expansion especially the dual M.2 with full x4 lanes combined with low idle power. As you were able to use a ASMedia expansion card and make this into a viable media server as well as having dual ethernet, M.2 storage and more. A desktop PC will have plenty of SATA and PCIe port, great performance but the idle and load power draw will be higher. Mini PC are very efficient and sometimes also powerful, but come at the cost of expansion and require some workarounds for adding storage drives. I hope TopTon or other Chinese will make a similar board to their N5105 DIY NAS with N100 or 12th gen mobile CPU as the N5105 quad core is not that fast compared to similar options.

    • @____5837
      @____5837 Před 6 měsíci

      One of the n100 router / firewall mini pc looks interesting for this. Doesnt have the sata ports but has the 4 2.5gb ethernet, and 2 m.2 slots from the picture (plus a mini pcie i think, might be m sata). So you could put an m.2 to sata card in one of the m.2 slots

      Its cool for DIY projects, but i think it has not enough PCIe connectivity as a homeserver for my usecase.
      The lattepanda has one 4x PCIe 4.0 M.2 and one 4x PCIe 3.0 M.2 + 1x PCIe 3.0 M.2 E Key
      The 13 inch Framework (1340P) boards only have one 4x PCIe 4.0 M.2

    • @18earendil
      @18earendil Před 6 měsíci +2

      The Framework 16 Motherboard will likely be more interesting for those sort of project. Besides having two Nvme M.2 slots, there is the PCIe interface for the back modules. With the three official confirmed back modules using it being the GPU module and more interesting for a NAS/home server, the back module with two more NVMe M.2 slots and the empty one with exposed "GPIOs" for DIY projects. We will need to see as much piwer can go through the PCIe bridge bur I guess we could have more than two SATA drives data bandwitch wise. And even without that, like with the Framework 13, we can boot from one of the USB SSD modules, so we should at least run UNRAID or TrueNAS from an USB SSD module (or a USB stick for UNRAID) and have 4 NVMe SSDs for the Raid with just the official modules. And with a port reserved for the USB4 power input port, there would be 4 USB-C left for USB, 2.5GB ethernet port and video port modules.

    When an old desktop will generally outperform this while housing the same number or more drives while being expandable and (let's be real here) only add a couple hundred watts, these still make very little sense. It also means you don't need thunderbolt. The icing is being able to run just and anything you might need.

      @@WolfgangsChannel I just can't figure out a mini home server usecase that'll require that level of CPU performance. I've got a bunch of services running on mine - including a Microsoft Exchange mail server that I admittedly only use for testing - and the thing idles at 2-3% CPU usage at most despite being a much weaker R5 3600. Unless you do lots and lots of video encoding you're going to run out of RAM long before you run out of CPU.

    What makes you prefer Unraid over TrueNAS Scale for example?

    • @WolfgangsChannel
      @WolfgangsChannel  Před 6 měsíci +5

      Easier container management, the ability to mix and match drives and add drives to an array after the fact, the ability to spin down individual drives when not in use, easier and more power effiicent 'caching' workflow which lets you cache the most recent files on the SSDs and let HDDs sleep

    Word of warning to anyone wanting to try this...
    DO NOT USE the ASM1166 SATA controller. Only the JMB585 works fully.
    I setup UNRAID with the ASM1166 and whilst everything *appears* to work, when the drives spin down and subsequently back up, you'll get corruption on the array. Mine did this with 2 1166 cards and was only resolved by swapping to the JMB585. Now, it's rock solid stable. It moves power states and never corrupts the array.

    OK so the tldr is that a synology nas still is the best option and considering the time involved hacking around costs 4x as much on my hourly rate as the premium the synology would cost me, the synology is a no-brainer. Of course if all you ever wanted to do in your life is build a custom nas by all means, but if you just want a nas that works out of the box the synology is pretty unbeatable.

    • @WolfgangsChannel
      @WolfgangsChannel  Před 6 měsíci +4

      Can’t argue with that!
      Just like gaming consoles are objectively the best choice for most people compared to a gaming PC. As people who like to build stuff and tinker with hardware, we're in the minority

    • @kozmaz87
      @kozmaz87 Před 6 měsíci +1

      @@WolfgangsChannel I hear you. Though I would say this: building a gaming PC gives you multiple times the console's power, building a diy nas probably won't do that unless you are planning on turning it into a kubernetes cluster but then what you are building isn't a NAS at that point.
      For example the synology I bought recently has a ryzen CPU pretty powerful, consumes very little power(on top of what the drives do) 8 bays and can run docker and has 32GB or RAM and costed me around 900 pounds. And what I absolutely love about it is the quality software. I have been using synology DSM NAS units for over 6 years now and never once an update broke the system for me. It is solid and the support is amazing(I had a ticket once about something that wasn't in the release about app port changes, very responsive support), oh yes and meaningful error messages/release notes, it integrates with your ups runs any VPN service you could possibly want, what else do I want? :D
      Oh and of course I have a PC I built because the level of performance and quiet, I consider acceptable does not exist in a pre-build. My PC is completely quiet and packs a punch and leaves any console behind by a wide margin.

    • @WolfgangsChannel
      @WolfgangsChannel  Před 6 měsíci

      For enthusiasts, the increase in performance/graphical quality on a PC when compared to a console can be worth it. But it comes at its own price - buggy drivers, OS updates, hardware/software issues, and so on. Most people would probably not be able to tell a difference, but will definitely notice an overall 'smoother' experience on a console.
      Your PC can also probably do other things than just "gaming". Similarly, a DIY home server/NAS can be used to host VMs with device passthrough, transcode media, and do a lot of other things. You also get access to hardware video transcoding, 2.5 GbE (Synology NASes still come with 1GbE by default, with an optional proprietary 10GbE module), Thunderbolt and a more extendable platform that doesn't limit you to a certain number of bays (sure, Synology has their 'extension units', but it's not quite the same). For 900 pounds, you can build a very capable machine that would be as power efficient as a pre-built NAS, and deliver way more performance and upgradability.
      Just like a self-built gaming PC, a self-built NAS also comes with its own drawbacks - you have to pick and choose the right hardware, install and configure the software, and deal with any of the issues in the process.
      At the same time, if you don't need any of the benefits of a self-built NAS, prefer a device that just works out of the box, and if you're fine with the performance and functionality - Synology is a no brainer. Just like a person who only wants to game would probably not be swayed by the "but you can also do other things on a PC!" arguments.
      As a sidenote - this video was never meant as a "build your own NAS" tutorial, and more of an "impractical hacking around" session. If you watched the "price and competition" section, you probably also know that I don't actually recommend the device for personal use. If you want to see a more realistic NAS build that I did recently, check out this video: czcams.com/video/vjDoQA4C22c/video.html

    I think that there are a lot better options for almost 700 dollars for the 32GB RAM, 500GB SSD, WiFi 6E version. Even the base model at 579 is an extremely steep price compared to other options for around the same price. You could almost build out an entire amateur home network minus HDD of course for the same price of their top trim.

      Unless you need GPIO or eDP, you’d be better off with an Intel NUC 13 Pro or another comparable mini PC. Same CPU but way cheaper.
      It should be able to handle multiple VMs, though I didn’t exactly test to see how many it can run at the same time. That being said, the virtualization overhead is very small these days, so I think you’ll be fine with an i5-1340p. Get a beefier AMD 7xxx miniPC if you want to be on a safe side
