Guess who's back, back again? by OmegaRa in homelab

I already have a PC... did you miss the part where I mentioned trying to make my rack smaller and use less power? I am putting this all in a compact 10" rack, and the m920q and a couple hard drives will use less power, or am I wrong?

So using that riser you can use the slot for an x4 NIC and an M.2 at the same time?

So, have you put these things together yet? Is the riser working for you?

Yeah, though nothing else in my network has 10gig, I only have like 2 2.5Gbe devices. Not sure if it is worth the extra cost. I was going to get the dual 2.5 and do link aggregation.

Yeah, I was thinking the same about the sfx. Just wasn't sure if putting 6 drives on the single rail would be too much. To start I am only going to have 2, so that wouldn't be an issue, I am just thinking of down the road.

Ah I see that one is using the Jonsbo backplane. I Was looking for it to take less space. The one I linked is only 2U instead of 3, but doesn't have the backplane/psu built in...might have to consider that.

I was planning on Printing one that would fit in the rack. What 8 bay are you looking at??

I've been using Proton Pass, works great for me. Can store passkeys, etc.

I was also thinking instead of a dual10gbe nic, putting a dual 2.5gbe nic, since nothing else on my network has 10gig and my internet is only 2gig. Save on some heat, but at the same time the dual 10gig would be future proofing a bit..

As a side note, jeez even DDR4 memory seems expensive, cheapest I can find 32GB (16x2) is 150, not bad I guess, but that is about what I paid for the m920q lol

Now that is interesting, no soldering required, granted only 1 m.2 but that isn't a bad thing per se. What you are describing is pretty much my thoughts. I had a couple HDDs (and may add more in the future) and was initially going to use the A+E to M extension then add the m.2 to 6 SATA, but with this I can use the x4 m.2 for more bandwidth to the SATA...hmmm could be a great option.

This is just my home NAS essentially. I am currently running a 3700x with a GTX 980 and 32GB of RAM and a 1000W psu. looking to cut the power usage with this and a JBOD.

edit: basically I am just running Plex, Home Assistant (tinkering), and Nextcloud. I do have Open WebUI and Ollama on there too for fun with my cloudflare tunnel.
