so nobody has a NAS NAS setup, just your mom's kodi box cloud crap

NAS into a router,goto network on tv's built in menu, see files in directory without rubbish movie covers, and just watch it

gigabit ethernet, SSD read speeds, 5G wifi, how many devices can watch the same movie from a pure NAS stand point

even VLC on andriod can connect to windows SMB network shares, like most andriod programs, and just stream pure files without media servers running

DLNA things are for stupid people

I used to have one, neatgear readynas with 2 HD's (non-ssd)
replaced it with a server running unraid (https://unraid.net/product) has worked reliably for years. have 20tb+ of films and shit on there

I have a netgear d6200 router, you can just plug a CiT usb 2.0 drive caddy in on the router and setup up readyshare

https://www.cclonline.com/product/76329/U35SP...gLJ0fD_BwE

CiT usb 3.0 caddies won't register and end up sounding like your drive has just died

its easy to connect to it if you have total commander on andriod +the LAN plugin

this browser is alot cleaner, but after the trail, you have to pay for SMB etc network connections

back when I used the dedicated NAS, hard drives were 1-2tb max so it was too easy to fill as the nas only had space for 2 drives so I built a proper server instead.

these days you can get big boy storage and 2 drives would be enough

kind of need 4 if you want raid, and all your steam backups, movies, and music, and windows desktop/my documents folder stored on it

or your temporary folder drive

nobody outside of a business will spend £400 on a single 12TB drive

8tb @ ~£200 is the sweet spot between price/tb and not having to have loads of smaller drives

I'm gonna get regular HDDs for backup and storage in few months. Don't really need the speed since i use netflix for movies :)

you have get some cheap movies on ebay, netflix is'nt full HD or UHD, and the audio is rubbish

then when you get fired from your job, the internet is the first thing you lose, then you have no movies to watch

ANYDVD HD -> https://sourceforge.net/projects/gmkvextractgui/ -> https://handbrake.fr/

need to goto youtube for descriptions

with the preset, most movies are 4 -> 7GB, and pixel perfect, and stream across everything, and play on everything with a speedy seek time

It's not 2010 anymore when computer savvy people bought NAS for home use, now you supposed to build a good one for yourself (Synology and the rest are for casuals tbh).

If electricity is cheap in your country, I would personally recommend you buy a Dell PowerEdge without HDDs on eBay (let's say, for example the 710 model are super cheap nowadays, you can have one with 8 core cpu and 32GB ecc memory for 150$, and put FreeNAS on it). That NAS will have insane amount of processing power for the money. Example: Dell PowerEdge R710 8-Core 2.5" Server 32GB RAM PERC6i iDRAC6 + 2 Trays. The example has some limitations, but you can't have everything and also stay cheap. It only has four 1Gbps ethernet ports, so no 10Gbit, and also for that particular model, if you want to use 2TB+ HDDs, then you will need an other controller (H310 for example) because perc6i can’t handle large drives.



If you want something super energy efficient, you can build the whole thing from scratch, the freenas hardware recommendation is a good starting point for beginners: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?resources/hardware-recommendations-guide.12/


ui.: SSD are too expensive for NAS and for the price you can have 10 huge HDDs which will be fast enough already (the 1Gbit network link won't be fast enough to make them sweat) and will also offer a lot more space at the same time, so don't waste money on SSDs.

i don't care enough to build my own, i go for rackmount NAS, to put in my rack with my audio system, but 1U NAS servers are normally £2000 ++

but i found a few for £500 or so, so i will probably get one of those instead, and probably Synology RackStation RX415

racks are the ultimate in power saving NAS boxes, the RX415 uses 21.89 watts

i have a quiklok RS10 rack

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&a...p;_sacat=0

this is better because its not discontinued and has RJ45

27.9 W (Access)

a useless 1GB of ram to run NULL NUKE as light speed still http://www.mediafire.com/file/j5l7ok7ps051c9p...E_v2.2.zip

if you want a monster secret server that gives you full control and transcoding while out and about

off topic but what do you think of cats, p0rt ? (as in the animal) :3

had 11 when i grew up, one was a stoner puma who fought dogs and jumps from second floor of houses to the ground, while another had bigger balls then a dog, and disappeared into the countryside and only came back every 3 years or so

the rest where female

leave them to it, they come back when it rains, and can defend for themselves if you live on the edge of the countryside

this is probably the only badboy rackmount case for domestic and mobile racks if you want to build your own NAS witha mini ITX board and velcro tape for SSD's for some ghetto hot swap, with them outside of the case stuck to the bottom

AMD A12 £91.73

Intel ATOM C3000 are mini ITX

https://www.anandtech.com/show/11144/intel-la...s-vehicles

can't find a benchmark, and they are cheap processors on ebay

16 cores, is better for FFMEG, and PDF tweakers etc, if you want your own media edit modules with null nuke, istead of the other online sites that keep your files for 10 years

and being null nuke, have icecast and other media streaming servers running, all localized, while going out to multiple sites like youtube, twitch etc with no CPU hogging apps running

Illmatic

STILLmatic.

Posting in a p0rt thread

build low powered linux machine so you can do anything you want with it, gg ez top left

have to wait for all the lame RGB companies to make some 1u or 2u cases that are 12 inches indepth for the biggest hurdle when it comes to the cars the police etc can use and the power of systems in military vehicles

yes, yes indeed

it will probably never happen, so you have to make do with the rubbish in the OP and the does anyone have one of these running as a pure NAS server instead of all the cloud/kodi box crap you get bundled with them and what they are marketed for

you are so right, as always

I know, most of them don't support NTFS so you need hardware AES for encrypted volumes if you want to put your windows my documents folder on a cheap NAS

Windows encryption is for pussies bro

open source for drive encryption so you can remove the NSA backdoors like in all other drive encryption programs that become extinct when someone finds it

adding encryption to remove backdoors is my focus in life

most drive encryption won't remove backdoors, america's national securoty agency pays them all to add a backdoor, PGP has had a NSA backdoor for the past 8 years or so, you have to use opensource tools instead for no backdoors

its all on IT Profession sites

they watch you with the camera on smart tv's , the whole of windows OS is a backdoor

wow, tell me more! especially about pgp being open source and safe
i dont have a tv man, they cant spy on me!!

can you share these it profession sites?

only the free versions of PGP are open source http://www.pgp.net/pgpnet/pgp-faq/pgp-faq-sec...-back-door

got to pay for all the enterprise servers for WAN's

holy moly what are enterprise servers????

just a program that can handle and has a 10,000 connection licence, for wide area networks going around different cities on corporate internal VPN intranets, with own DNS servers

keys don't leave the intranets, and better then fedEx

the only way into the intranet, is through 10 firewalls, at a single IP

if your british, then the NHS WAN cost something stupid like £12bn to setup

all network booting, and just restore the drive image remotely to fix ransomware issue's

i have no british. is that 12 bilion? is that 12.000.000.000? or 12.000.000.000.000?

probably the british 1000 million = billion, america is 100 million = billion

homophobe
