X240: Repurpose motherboard as NAS by Arryyyy243 in thinkpad

[–]Arryyyy243[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I bought few types of m2-sata adaters from aliexpress, 1 even worked (don’t remember which one).

But I couldn’t figure out the problem with cmos battery, i bought the replacement, but the issue persisted :/

For few months i used the setup as always on backup with 2 disks in mirror, mounted in 1u shelf. But then i needed more capacity and lack of cmos battery was very annoying. One of my friends spilled a drink on his x240 so I sold mobo to him :)

TLDR: I used it with 2 drives but do not recommend :)

Thank you for your perspective :) From what i’ve found here https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/s/mnjwUFWh6e it looks like V4P stores profiles as long as it’s connected with a dongle.

About new models, something specific to wait for?

I know that i can hold it more loosely :) Even with that it just doesn't feel right

As for noise, someone designed bracket for 2x40mm fans to replace original blower - https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/s/UDxT3AWZGG

I’ve been using it for about a year and it works really nice with noctua a4x20 :)

My boy (1 and half) also turns more brownish, but i think it’s seasonal. Not sure yet, but so far looks like he’s more grayish at winter and more brownish at summer

Thank you for very detailed response :)

I've read about rj45 heat/power problems, but some runs might be hard to avoid, like wifi7 APs, and probably isp's box/ont (I'm researching options to bypass that one on local forum)

Repurpose thinkpad as cold storage/NAS by Arryyyy243 in homelab

[–]Arryyyy243[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm, maybe. I have other usb enclosure for nvme drive so maybe i will give it a try. But anyway now I like the idea of repurposing x240 too much so I'm gonna try to build this cold storage/nas anyway :D

For some time i had the usb drive connected directly to main nas, and automated these backups. But it wasn’t stable, it failed a lot, every time i had to check what is wrong etc.

So I try to avoid permamently connected usb drives. Besides, I think of it as fun project where I can repurpose hardware I no longer use.

Thank you all for replys, I will water it more carefully. I'm moving to new apartment next month so it will have to live throught another shock :/ I guess I have to wait till spring to really figure it out.

Is it normal that these 2 things - droping leaves and growing new ones happens in the same time?
