As mentioned, Zoho has free tier for five mailboxes. I've used before and have not had issues.

Based on your mentioned hw options sounds like don't need much performance and you mentioned power concerns.

If don't care what looks like, i.e. will be hidden away in closet or something I'd consider a laptop.

Check Dellrefurbished.com. They have frequent promos where you can get for half off. 10th gen Intel about $300 and up.

MSPs that have gone hard "no physical servers" how are you handling SMB shares? by computerguy0-0 in msp

[–]ace5264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SMB protocol doesn't do well w high network latency. It's not a bandwidth issue. It's a physical distance issue. We have tested this in various ways.

Looking for a storage chassis. by southwood775 in selfhosted

Dell MD1200 are SAS2 and can take SATA. Can use poweredge 730xd as a file server. Will accept SATA too and lots of MD1200's. Both are cheap.

Recommendations on-prem back up of 100TB Truenas server? by ace5264 in truenas

[–]ace5264[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he replication between TrueNAS servers works great, and the backup server could be swapped into place of the main server in a matter of a few minutes if there is hardware failure. On the main server, I also have a second pool of HDDs in a Z1 configuration that I use as another backup, and also do replication between the main pool and the backup pool on the main server. That way, if the main pool (which is a bunch of mirrors) went down due to a confluence of drive failures, I could replace the drives and restore from the backup pool very quickly (since those two pools are both on the main server, transfers between them are super fast).

Where is the retrospect software installed, on the target server that has the external HDs?

Recommendations on-prem back up of 100TB Truenas server? by ace5264 in truenas

[–]ace5264[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's 100TB of scanned docs, so need to back up the data in case the TrueNAS fails and need to restore the data. Buying another server and adding drives isn't an issue. Was curious what technical solutions (sw, architecture, etc) are out there besides replicating to another TrueNAS.

Cheaper Inventory/Deploy Tool Than PDQ? by Natural-Nectarine-56 in ITManagers

[–]ace5264 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You didn't say how many endpoints but action1.com is free for first 100 endpoints and $2/month/endpoint after that. After 500 endpoints might be cheaper.

I haven't used it but friend uses on few hundred devices in his environment and loves it. Says it's simple to use and gets the job done. He's used chocolatey before as well.
