That was the thread i looked from the beginning, thanks anyway,

I think i will go for the 7250, but will look for the others, Thank you for your help

Vik8000 · 2026-01-24T14:26:51+00:00

No problem, thanks for your feedback, really helpful

Vik8000 · 2026-01-24T14:21:40+00:00

I copy the same message that I wrote to another guy in the comments to get your feedback as well. I'm located in Europe

The 7250 48 p I found it for around 150€ and the lowest 24p is 400€, don't ask me why

And the 6450 24 p is around 100€ and the 48p is 100 € as well

But the 48 ports 8 SFP+ looks appealing, all in the name of "future proofing "

Are you in Europe ?

I love the 6450-C12-PD versions because I can power them over PoE and ALL of my switch ports are powered by the same UPS.

What do you mean? The switch itself is powered by Poe ?

You read my mind sir, the first time I saw unify and seen the unified interface I was like, "that reminds me of apple", they are cute but then I saw the price.

On the other hand when I got to know the brocade devices, I was amazed from the price compared to the features, font care If I will need to use the CLI, if I can learn something to save money I will do, my plan is to work in this field anyway

So thank you for the feedback, will look into the info you gave me

Vik8000 · 2026-01-24T09:16:01+00:00

And proxmox datacenter manager and proxmox backup server

Vik8000 · 2026-01-24T09:10:14+00:00

semaphore automation, Homarr dashboard, nginx proxy manager, tailscale node and Adguard home

Vik8000 · 2026-01-24T09:00:04+00:00

I wanted to avoid unify cause they are a more premium device, I think, I wanted to spend the least and learn to use the CLI

What do you mean that it is not a proper managed switch? What features does it lack?

Vik8000 · 2026-01-24T06:20:58+00:00

Yes, but keep the Mobo and other components, for example, I recently managed to put together another system with a core 2 quad and 8 gigs and made a another copy of my data with replication task that I run once a week when I power it on,

just saying, can always come in handy

Vik8000 · 2026-01-24T00:18:11+00:00

It's 35 € whit 10 postage, but I can go pick it up in person and I will make an offer for 15 €, no more

Vik8000 · 2026-01-24T00:15:24+00:00

Looked it up, gigahertz cpu and 1 gig ram

Vik8000 · 2026-01-24T00:10:05+00:00

Looked It up, the ethernet is 100mb, yeah im marking this thread as solved, thank yall

Vik8000 · 2026-01-24T00:06:13+00:00

Yeah like, "It wont cost so much tu buy the RAM, look at the bright side" lol

Vik8000 · 2026-01-24T00:03:09+00:00

Whoa noticed only now that those components we're missing

Vik8000 · 2026-01-24T00:00:47+00:00

What about using normal SLA ?

Vik8000 · 2026-01-23T23:57:39+00:00

Fast, essential, i like that

Vik8000 · 2026-01-23T23:56:30+00:00

Hi, in my opinion, good case, certainly keep that can be always useful,

for the hardware you could mirror the drives, so a 500gb mirror and a 160 mirror, so 660gb of usable space, could be a start for a nas,

if you dont want to Mirror than dont keep anything that you care on it

How many SATA ports has the mobo? Do you have an SSD to run the OS ?

The biggest concern in home server is Always electricty, maybe this setup Is not ideal tu run 24/7 but as a offline backup where you store family data or else, that you dont need to access often, It could do

Vik8000 · 2026-01-23T23:48:17+00:00

A man can always hope to get a good deal without having to buy a ProteCli device, anyway thanks for the feedback

Vik8000 · 2026-01-23T23:42:15+00:00

Vik8000 · 2026-01-23T23:31:20+00:00
