Am I being detained?
I want to run a plex server
I was thinking a Mini-ITX skylake i3
Are those small form factor machines like the NUCs any good?
Sup /g/
Looking to buy a NAS.
Uses:
RAID 5/6 and/or ZFS
Plex
1080p streaming to multiple devices
Anything else I can think of
Here's my build so far, mostly stolen.
ASRock C2750 Intel Avaton
5x4 TB HGST HDD
2x16 GB Intelligent Memory Unbuffered ECC RAM
128 GB SSD for Caching
SilverStone DS380B
Cooler Master V650
Should be about $2k.

I just built a NAS for the same purposes. After my research, I'd say drop the Avaton. I got an E3 1245-v3 and some don't supermicro board for the same price...with many magnitudes more performance. The SSD isn't necessary for cache to be honest unless you have a shit ton of concurrent users.

Ignore the random don't in there. Swype texting failure.
X5675, stock clocks and voltage. 24GB ECC.
Mellanox ConnectX-2 for connection to desktop, dual port intel for main connection to switch.
850 for boot drive, 6 random 1TB drives for main storage, corsair SSD for L2ARC, 2TB Ultrastar for backup.
Used for storage, backups, and VMs.

I suppose another use I have for it is simply to learn all about being a server admin. Thus SSD caching. Also the SSD was cheap and I can use it for another build later. I'll look into the E3, thanks.

I want to be like you when I grow up. What books or videos do you recommend? Is that zfs?
>>55403012
It's ZFS
Don't know what books to recommend, mostly just doing stuff, then trying to do it better.
>>55401160
E3-1245 v3
16 GB ECC RAM
some cheap 60GB SSD for the OS
and around 44TB of storage space, which is 99% full
using it for storage, obviously. mostly movies (28TB), some TV shows (15TB) and another TB of random stuff
How do you guys ensure that if you get a power outage that your drives won't be corrupted?

UPS
Sup /hsg/, my 6x 1TB NAS drives (mix of WD blues and greens) are approaching 5 years old, no signs of trouble but I'm getting antsy about having drives that old, especially with no fault tolerance. I have not needed to look at spinning rust for a long time so I'm behind the curve a little. I'd like to replace each with at least 2TB so I can set up some decent sized RAID arrays (currently running JBOD) and worry less about data integrity.
I know HGST make some solid 2.5" drives and I also read good things about WD red's, am I on the right track looking to these guys for drives? Do you have a better recommendation? Price is not a factor, I just want another solid 5 years of performance.

By using a UPS with the capability of performing a clean shutdown when mains drops. I had an APC that connected to my box via USB, powerchute software was configured to bring the machine down if power was down for more than 5 minutes (UPS could hold the box up for 20).
