NAS

I suppose all you little nerds all have a NAS setup at home. What do you use exactly ? Is it only a shared disk, or do you have an operating system running it (Linux or Windows ?)

I have an ASRock motherboard with 8 SATA ports, G2120 CPU, 16GB DDR3 10666 RAM, 7 x 3TB Seagate 7,200 RPM HDD, 126GB SSD (soon to be replaced with 32GB SSD) for ZIL logs and running FreeNAS 9.2.1.5 x64.

RaGE is a French engineer in mecatronics, who has written software for embedded automotive applications and device drivers in another lifetime. He also worked as a process development improver automotive parts company in the world. Pot/Kettle conversation happening right now.... Yes I have one, got a Western Digital enclosure in a sale and whapped two spar hard-drives in, running RAID level 1 in a misguided attempt to provide fail-over. I didn't fork out for the cloudified version though. It's running a NAS targetted Linux of some sort, I have an Samba server etc, but mostly I use it as a backup of family photos.

I got a simple 2-bay synology NAS - and love it to bits. It's got all my photos on it, all my music on it, and I use it to stream movies to the telly. If I had more money I'd buy a couple more!

I have a 4 disk RAID5 NAS, with 4 * 1TB HDD's It runs Linux, but I don't touch that: I want it to act as a "safe" file store for music, videos to cast to Chromecast, and my primary backups. And if I started modifying it, I'd probably never stop! :laugh:

Rather than buying a couple more, I'd get a four (or more) bay: that way you can use RAID 5 to spread data across disks and mitigate any single HDD failure. Trust me, that is worth it's weight in gold pressed latinum!

Wow, you think we are that good that we have rappers setup at home like NAS. I would much rather have Eminem :suss:

Nice! Did you get a new "Anthill Inside" sticker?
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

No, it just appeared with a small *poof*.

what you fail to appreciate, m fella, is that I'm, not friggin' made of money!

I know the feeling - but it's a lot cheaper in the long run than having a disk fail: particularly if you are running your box in JBOD mode as a single large virtual disk. Either disk fails, and you lose the lot... If you can get to RAID5, then any single disk doesn't cost as much, because you don't lose anything - just replace the faulty disk when you can and carry on. And the "bare-bones" Synology boxes aren't exactly cheap either!

I recommend JOSP's article also but I wrote and article of a NAS I configured using Ubuntu and it worked otu very well. FreeNAS or Ubuntu[^]

Ditto. Mine is set-up with mirrored 4TB drives.

I'm currently using a home-build WHS 2011 box; but unless you're severely cash constrained, want ZFS/Btrfs, or need more than 4 drives (this transitions you from SOHO to SMB and prices balloon as a result); I'd strongly recommend getting an enclosure from Synology or QNAP and spending the evening or two you'd've spent setting up a DIY NAS enjoying some :beer: instead. If you just want a basic shared drive, one of the cheaper ARM based models will do fine. For heavy transcoding/light weight server duties/etc a higher end x86 model becomes worthwhile. Ganesh at Anandtech likes Synology's software for media streaming/etc best with QNAP in 2nd place (and everyone else well behind); but QNAP's recently added some light virtualization support to their x86 line. Not enough to be a remote dev box; but suitable for letting you install software not provided in their package manager without voiding your warranty by SSHing into the box and installing it via the CLI.

I use an old Win XP Dell laptop with a shared USB drive on it.

I cannot afford a NAS but my parents can and wanted something along those lines so I found something for them, configured it for them, and stole around half of it's capacity for my own nefarious uses.
