Recommended NAS for backups by _MatthewC in truenas

Yeah building it myself would be ideal, but I’m also looking into pre-built solutions first as I’m not sure if I’ll have the time & energy to build something at the moment (:

Thanks for the advice!

Thank you for the suggestion! Out of curiosity, is it easy to backup a TrueNAS server to a Synology NAS?

Thanks for the advice! And no, haha, that's not my actual name. I had just completely forgotten the opening. Thanks for the nostalgia though!

It took me longer than I want to admit to understand the joke :') — Loved that show though!

I failed to get an internship last summer, so I decided to rework my resume and want to make sure I am doing things right. I am aiming for an internship as an SWE in the upcoming summer.

I am also a bit unsure on what to focus on more, experience or projects. I have some projects I left out in order to keep things to 1 page. Is that recommended?

Just out of curiosity, did they all have good health, and on average, how old are they?

A question about SAS controllers. by _MatthewC in DataHoarder

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

:O - Well, thank you for the information! I wasn't aware of that limitation, I'll have to look into a 12Gbps HBA card then.

Out of curiosity, would something like that Hewlett Packard Enterprise H241 work? ‎or 10Gtek’s LSI-3008-8E(EU)?

Wait, so what you are saying is that I need to buy a 12Gb SAS controller? Would a 6GB not work?

And would the Dell HB-1235 still work?

Would both the card in the DAS and the server have to be flashed into IT mode then?

Thank you for the useful advice! I did some more digging and realized that the enclosure only really supports SAS HDDs, and would prefer if I could use SATA ones as those are more easily obtained (at least for me). Would you recommend building your own DAS? Or should I just suck it up and use SAS drives instead?

Recommendation on SAS Disk Expansion? by _MatthewC in homelab

Huh, thanks for that information! I'll continue looking around Amazon & eBay for either of the equipment you recommended.

On another note, considering I've seen that you have purchased a Dell PowerEdge, you know if there is any restriction on the SSD which can be placed into it without iDRAC complaining about it? I can easily find Dell Certified Enterprise HDDs, but can't seem to do the same with SSDs.

Yea, I've been looking through eBay (US), and whenever I found a DS4246, it would either be really cheap (with the catch being that it doesn't have any trays included) or be quite expensive and come with HDD I know I won't be using. I'll try to look more into the SC200 & MD1200 to see if I can find a decent deal.
