Nope. The little white antenna the the bottom left of the board means it's a Raspberry Pi 3. Not much bandwidth but it'll probably do for 720p stuff
>>55371111
>offsite backups aren't a thing
How retarded are you?
>>55370940
The pi 3 has a default amperage of 1.2 amps, 2.5 inch drives use about 1.2 amps

Works surprisingly well as server/media center/emulation box.

>>55371498
EEE? man what happend to them
Is a raspberry pi going to be powerful enough for what I want?
I want it dedicated to torrenting stuff, movies mostly.
Then I want it to be a DLNA server. Will I be able to watch 2 movies simultaneously while the torrents are still going?
Will the pi or the hard drive bottleneck?
I have an old 2tb WD green (would put it in enclosure to power it)
Or would I be better off buying a cheap MiniItx with one of those low powered CPUs in it?
>>55371941
It should be powerful enough, the only thing bottle necking would probably be the network or harddrive
I'm searching to do my baby's first, and I'm having a little hard time between HDDs.
It will be an Odroid-XU4 + 2 HDD, one HDD I already have it, an oldie samsung. But I cannot decide over the other one.
I always though WD Red will be a good idea, but everybody says WD is shit right now and that Red are Greens modded.
Should I go with HGST Nas oriented, or just HGST or what?
I will do monthly backups so it is kinda important I guess
>>55372020
HGST and WD are the same company now.
Greens are not bad hard drives, they just have very aggressive head parking.
8 seconds without use, the head parks. You use it as on OS drive or something like that, you are parking and unparking your head all day long. It leads to short death.
you can change the head parking time and greatly increase the life of the drive with a utility
WD reds have head parking disabled, it also has deep recovery disable (TLER). In Raid you cant have your drive parking, or stopping for deep recovery cycles on bad data.
Obviously that eats more energy and creates more heat.
Also do note that WD Blues that are larger than 1tb are literally just rebadged greens.
I cant tell you what to get, but Reds arent bad and HGST drives are coming out of the same factories.
>>55370342
Been rocking a pi as a server for a while. But it's definitely got it's limitations. Wondering what will be better, but still quite low power.
>>55372579
Im considering a pi.
What problems are you having
>>55372574
Yeah, I noticed the other day Greens are going out of stock replaced by hybrid Blues.
Do you think it is work Red against Green, or should I stick with Greens and changing head parking?
Also, if helps, the HDD will be 4tb
>>55372590
Biggest issue is streaming video over the network. It can do it, but I'll get dropped frames.
It could be that it's the original pi, with only 256mb ram.
>>55372610
yeah for streaming 1080p, rule of thumb is you need a full 256mb of graphics memory. the pi3 has 1gb, i think, so 512 to the system, 512 for graphics
>>55372598
I have reds because I use RAID.
Not sure, you wont use the "features" of the Reds, but they do have a better warranty.
And I have no clue what HGST badged drives are out there.
Im just having good luck with Reds
>>55372673
Why I won't use the features? It is supposed to run 24/7 so I though that's why Red will be good for me.
I'm very new in home server, if I'm saying something dense, please, tell me.
>>55372695
You should be able to completely turn parking off, but leaving it at 300 seconds or so isnt bad. Parking every 8 seconds all day long is bad.
The "TLER" is a "feature" as a way to scam people who need RAID.
Western Digital removed the ability to change sector recovery times.
Normal WD drives do
>see bad sector, spend 30 seconds trying to reread it
With TLER
>see bad sector, recheck it for a few seconds, marks bad goes on
You used to be able to change the time it does this, but WD stopped that to sell higher priced drives with TLER on it (a set time that doesnt stop and reread)
When in RAID, if one hard drive stalls for any extended period, some controllers go crazy and think the drive died.
And even though controllers have fixed that, it still slows your shit up every time it does it.
Its a "feature"
>>55372813
So, unless I go Raid, I shouldn't worry about Reds, but it is a must not if I do RAID.
Am I right?
>>55371125
so we've come full circle, continue here >>55371071
>>55372610
You especially need a fast network, the Pi is pretty shit in that regard
>>55372835
Pretty much.
You can configure your RAID hardware to work around the issues usually, but Reds just make things easier
>>55372020
>Odroid-XU4
This looks pretty awesome, im considering it over the pi 3
>>55372918
Would the Pi benefit from having gigabit ethernet like in the odroid?
>>55372975
Ok, I will check prizes for WD Red and some HGST and I will decide on base on that.
>>55373005
Yeah man, I was about to go with the Orange PI, but it only has USB 2.0 and I plan to do OS backup, which be a like 50-70Gb, so I can't go 2.0.
The con is that as it is better, it cost significant more.
Is pi 3 enough to power a wd 1tb passport?
I can't seem to find how much power the hdd consumes.
>>55371498
Are you me? What model? I have a surf 2g with an external drive.
Odroid is reportedly much faster and uses only 6W max.
>>55370461
>>55373134
Its running a 2ghz clock vs 1.2ghz ARM quad cores.
1gb of ram vs 2gb of ram.
So yes the specs are better.
But looking into it, the increase in speed is directly related to them using their proprietary eMMC modules instead of an SD card. The read write speeds using SD are almost identical.
So yeah, its a better board. But im not paying 100$ for the board, 25$ for the eMMC, 5$ for the eMMC to USB adapter, and then 35$ to ship it.
Getting too pricy
>>55370418
The new ones have built in wifi/bluetooth. Now I'm not saying running a server over wifi is a good idea but it werks. I cant tell by eye if this is a new one though.
>>55373252
I will check it again because I didn't though on that or didn't realized it.
>>55370342
Is the Pi able to power up the 2.5'' disk? Or it's better to use an external powered USB hub?
What are you guys running on your pi for servers?
>>55373853
your moms dildo
>>55372610
I'm currently running a pi2 as file server.
As long as you don't stream in 2 places at the same time, it can hold it's own. Even in 1080p
>using an extremely underpowered device as a server
You retards have it backwards. Use a powerful device for a server and then low powered devices as clients.
>>55373943
>can only handle a single client
>"server"
>>55374068
You have it neither backwards nor forwards.
Make the server as powerful as it needs to be, make the clients as powerful as it needs to be.
A Pi works just fine if all it's doing is serving some files in a home network

Kids playing with RPi "servers" are like kids playing with power wheels "cars". They are just imitating the real version that adults use.
It's not suitable for actual use. It's just a toy for children.
Buying more RAM shortly to tinker around with KVM.
Or Vsphere if I go full overkill.
>>55374249
Fast enough for streaming video
>>55374392
It's more than a toy, it's more like a 50cc moped. Not enough for anything serious but it can get you around if you don't have much to carry.
You don't match a 50cc moped and a 22 tonne trailer.
>>55371377
>most advanced operating system ever made
Yeah, I don't think so
>>55374445
First; vsphere is the management software for esxi, Also your going to need more than two cores since ESXI needs 4 IIRC since two threads are dedicated to the hyper visor. Thirdly celerons don't support virt extensions. Finally your need 8GB of RAM at the bare min for even a tiny lab.You;d seriously be better off getting an old xeon 8 core and building that up.
>>55372020
>Odroid-XU4
Don't do it anon. Odroids have known heat and power draw issues. The bigger they get the worse the problem. You see the 5v4a 5.5mm power plug? You might as well call it proprietary, since you'll have to build a power supply of your own or use theirs. USB chargers can't deliver that kind of power. Combine that with the EMMC and your odroid costs a lot more than they let on.
FWIW I use an Nvidia Tegra TK1. It's powerful and stable. I've hosted modded minecraft servers on it before and can decode x265 1080p in software. Changing the OS involves flashing the emmc and it's a royal bitch to do.
In hindsight at the time AMD had released their Athlon 5350 and had near ready made PCs for sale for about the same price. I'd go that route if I did it again. Also built in SATA and molex power connection for a HDD is on the board so no extra power supply to deal with.
>4tb HDD
Been rocking a HGST for over a year now. No complaints, no issues. WD reds are supposed to be similar. I paid about $15 more for the Hitachi. No regrets.
>>55374201
Does it matter how much clients it can handle? As long as it serves files, it's a file server you douche
as far as i read raspberry pi can handle 720p movies and has a shitty ethernet support
my question is, i have a computer from 2003 which i'm thinking about converting it to NAS, should i buy a raspberry or should i go with my old pc?
>>55374650
So you're making the suggestion of going full pc instead of Odroid? I though Odroid was a good deal.
>>55374445
I wanted one of these so bad.
How much RAM can it handle max? I want one to virtualize with
Just got this old debian box from a friend who didnt need it anymore, whats a good first-time server project to use it for?

They do virtualization well enough, but the RAM is a limiting factor.

>>55375750
since this a server i guess you should pull everything thats not needed out and use ssh or some remote shell to do things from another computer (because it will be running 24/7) ,and put the server into some corner to not hear it work. you can try doing a mail/file server or some game server if you play some.
>>55374878
A dev board is a good deal, but Odroids have given too many problems to too many users who've jumped on the "muh octo core" bandwagon and then realized this time board has to contend with 4 times the power draw and heat of other boards.
Look for these in a server dev board:
>USB3 or SATA
>gigabit ethernet
>no special snowflake power needs
That's it. You don't need a lot of processing power, just good I/O. Orange Pi, Cubieboards, there's a lot of good options that are cheaper and more reliable.
>>55375890
I was checking their store and seems like I can use my own Micro Sd, so I won't have to get an eMMC.
Althoug, I checked Orange PI, actually, was my 1st option. But I have to get the most expensive in order to get SATA/Usb 3.0. Odroid is almost same price (IIRC) and comes with a fan. I don't really care about processing power since OPI was enough and Odroid is stronger.
Also, what consume can I have? Will it be that bad?
>>55375315
I bet this shitbox pulls 120W on idle, don't be retarded and use old inefficient hardware as a server. Pointless waste of money and energy.
This is what I'm running at home, the server has a 6x3TB RAID6 array, it's currently sufficient space for my needs. Raspi only does UPS management and turns the server back on after a power outage by itself.
>>55370342
Can you recommend that? I though about building such a system for downloading. I only have 2 Mbit at home and therefore need to download 24/7. It could save a lot of power and even noise.

I have an odriod xu4 running gentoo. Only time heat is an issue is when compiling anything. Connect some shitty 12v fan to a usb cord and let that blow on the heatsink and you won't get hot. Otherwise keep it away from where you'll hear it, and/or underclock it, both of which there are plenty of guides on how to do. 8 cores underclocked is still better than most things. The problem is that the heatsink only touches the a15 cores and is too high for the a7 cores.
I using a 128gb shark SD card from gearbest. And it works great.
The two usb3.0 ports are actually one port. The GBe gets to 900Mbps, just shy of real GBe but still better than most.
Actual power draw won't be a problem as I'm running mine off solar panels I made. I forget the numbers cause I'm an idiot.
>>55376330

>>55374445
Esxi is comparable to kvm. Both are bare metal hypervisors. One major difference is that since kvm is part of the Linux kernel you get the full capabilities of Linux (i.e. software raid).
>>55377614
Yeah true, although I have less experience (and desu haven't kept up with hyperV), than with ESXi.
How do you view the difference between those 2?
I just have a T3500 in my office at home. I use it to do databackups, stores my movies/music, runs plex for movies around the house, runs filezilla FTP for work files, runs a voicemail application for my phone system, and is the only computer in the house that will run this ridiculous SSL vpn I have for a customer as it won't work with windows 10.
Yep.
>>55377635

ESXi only needs 4GB of memory and two cores in order to install and work normally. While 8GB is ideal, 4GB is still fine for a few *nix VMs.
My server is fluctuating around using 4GB of memory as we speak, and it has eight virtual machines running a healthy mix of Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, 2008 R2, and Debian.

>all you faggots need is probably a backup HDD
AFAIU, HDDs work better when kept working, as opposed to using them only from time to time.
still, that's probably better than having them connected to a shitty power supply...
>>55383944
sdcards are slower than a traditional HDD trust me it matters, especially if you are used to SSD.
got my dl380 hooked up and added to vcenter, and even though its nothing too special the thing is a monster compared to my ts140
12 core 2.9, 74gb ram, and it came overspecced compared to the ebay listing with 8x300 drives instead of 146's.
got raid 6 setup and i am getting 700mb write and 500mb read with good random access time. only pulls around 100w idle and is quiet as fuck, my fucking switch is a ton louder than it but naturally i am not hammering the cpus nonstop.
dropped the $660 for a 3 year vcenter license so i could access the api, going to need it for running cuckoo
>>55383944
USB 2.0 isn't going to get anywhere near 60mb/s, so bear that in mind... but I see the bigger problem being I/O cycles. The USB bus might be able to handle the overall bandwidth, but the number of packets being sent and received from a torrent client would likely cause anything else you're trying to do to run like shit.
An ITX build is a mile better.
Here's a hobobuild that would serve very well as what you're looking for: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/jdYFd6
It's probably more powerful than what you need, but it's an example of what I'd recommend for someone looking to use Plex and perhaps run a VM (which is why 8GB RAM). Motherboards with integrated processors are great value, so if you're just looking for a small server, they're great, and using that board you can expect the system to burn like 15W max in total.

>>55387397
fuck if i know, its just a regular bios. and yeah its ilo2 but honestly i dont really use it. i have physical access and i just vpn into my network for access to the vms.
i checked it out and it apparently used to be a disney box. i checked the ilo settings and the ip block is registered to them. once i looked at the logs i could see more disney related stuff, and it looks like this thing did something for orlando after looking at the dns name. i ran diagnostics for 2 days straight and everything passed each time so hopefully it will last.
>>55387514
i work in security so i need to have a full domain and other vms for malware testing and other stuff. also need the power for api for malware analysis and honeypot stuff.

It barely works, yes. But only if you haver really, really lo expectations from a server.
Enjoy pushing 500GB of files onto it and wait 2 days for it to finish.
>>55387992
Yeah, and you get the performance of a matchbox, wireless, and a fucking raspberry pi and usb laptop drive. But if 5 watts is what it takes to make your parents not notice the power draw, so be it.

Built in a lian li v354 with 6x4tb passed through to a Solaris VM. Has been running forever now.
will probally sell it up and replace with the new HP microserver when ever it comes out.
>>55388019
But anon, what if you don't need to. What if it's only working with small files?
>>55389633
Then why do you need a whole home server?
I love having a server of a few tb of data running in my home 24/7 increasing my electricity bill ten fold when I could easily just have the data in my desktop machine and access it there. I may go out later just to throw some money away at things randomly because I am a complete and utter fucking idiot
>>55389649
To have access to your files from several systems?
My server is purely to store media, which I then can play from my desktop, laptop or tablet.
>>55389675
>a ~15W home server running 24/7 ten folds your electricity bill
Do you have a 5W desktop?
>>55389680
As said, if you haver really fucking low expectations from a home server, go with the Pi as server. I did it before, too. I know really fucking well how shitty it is.
The clock speed is wrong, it's underclocked to 960MHz and undervolted as far as the BIOS lets me go.
>>55389998
heh, did the same thing with my C2D E8400. It's clocked down to 600MHz.

Light bulbs literally use more energy than a home server (or even desktop computer) does while idling.
>I could easily just have the data in my desktop machine and access it there.
What if that desktop uses something other than Linux? On top of that a home server should be using far less energy than your desktop anyway, so your example is shit either way.
>>55389675
Dude, just stop. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
A half rack (3x 15A 110V circuits, systems at full load for 30+ days at a time) only increased my power bill by 125%.
Hell, even my current T620, the X1080P, and 4 PoE devices only increase the baseline power bill by $9/month.

Any ESXi geeks around?
I have a DL350 G6 running ESXi 5.5. I have installed Server 2K8 onto the VM host. I am planning on migrating my existing home server to this new 2K8 host, but I need to migrate data from the old machine.
I have been trying to add a NFS share as a datastore, but keep getting pic related error. Part of the troubleshooting for this is to ensure Security Profile > "NFS Client" is active on the firewall. I have added this and attempted to add my NFS share but it fails to pic related, and when I go back into the security profile, NFS client has been unchecked. For what its worth I can open a console locally on the server and get a response when I ping my existing server.
Am I doing something wrong here? This is fucking killing me.
>>55370926
Server: A dedicated computer that offers services to other computers.
>>55370984
That really depends.
In some companies the admins are underpaid, untrained and overworked.
So there is no time or motivation for network audits and all that fancy stuff.
>>55390234
I tell you what it is.
Its not a replacement for backups.
>>55371277
Doing backups and streaming media are popular things to do.
Also simply making data available in the network.

FYI, I have been working through http://blog.jeffcosta.com/2011/01/10/hostdatastoresystem-createnasdatastore-for-object-ha-datastoresystem-error-when-setting-up-vmware-nfs-data-store/ but keep getting stuck on this NFS client disappearing from the firewall rules.

Best home server ever.
>>55390701
Didn't know what that meant till I just googled it, "bouncing" is running the connection via a proxy or other intermediary machine yeah? Not to my knowledge, both machines are connected to my router via cat6, that's the only piece of hardware between them. They are both on the same subnet and IP range (10.1.1.100 and 10.1.1.110), and I can ping back and forth between each.
>>55390764
Here's the old picture when it was equipped with 1TB + 500GB HDDs
>>55390753

>>55390788
Sorry, no. Bounce = Reboot. Been fighting with Exchange for the last 8 hours, sorry.
>>55390826
>they go alright as a server?
After undervolting the CPU and installing Debian yes, definitely. I'm thinking of getting another one.
host os (debian) handles NAS function (samba) and two vms - one windows embedded based responsible for filtering seeds/peers and torrent service + webgui to communicate with clients (torrent webui+ addoon for firefox), i also sometimes use it as a terminal server. Other vm is for all other services including web based shit (wordpress site, ampache with full access to multimedia files stored on the server, phpsysinfo for status and roundcube for webmail), mail server + spamd, game server (l4d2 server). It also communicates with my car through integrated wifi card (pinging when in range and tracking if its moving, pretty dank security solution).
CPU handles all this shit pretty good. System drive and two 1,5TB shares are encrypted, so it uses a lot of cpu time, yet its completely usable for max 5 local users (and remote users if you count ampache and l4d2 server)
>>55390835
Yeah, off and on again between all changes, no dice.

Yo, why are all of your system drives so large? When I spin shit up for work, 60GB for a DC only guest is pretty grande, even after patching and our messy env. Do you throw more stuff in there? Also, with that many boxes you should take a gander at DSC and/or puppet if you haven't already. Helps my rollout time.
As for smaller services, you should play with nano server. Pretty dope, a little funky on compatibility with non role/feature based servers (like a plex box)
