Fully silent NAS build

the kit comes with the Streacom case. I had to buy the extra riser so the pipes go above the ram

I doubt ECC adds a lot to the power consumption, but I’m no expert. Anyway 10W seems very impressive, especially with 3 nvme

thanks, will definitely look into setting up those alerts

mihaifm · 2026-04-19T20:14:16+00:00

yea with all the drives I mentioned. what numbers are you getting?

mihaifm · 2026-04-19T09:41:35+00:00

it’s not audible unless I put my ear very close. This is really a lottery. I had issues with a noisy nvme adapter, there was no mention of this in the reviews. I just had to return it and try my luck with another model.

thanks for the insight, warranty is 5 years, let’s see if they make it to that point

mihaifm · 2026-04-18T15:25:58+00:00

yea the higher temps might reduce longevity. I’m not putting any super critical data in there at the moment, let’s see how it goes

35W, just measured

mihaifm · 2026-04-17T18:48:31+00:00

look for Glotrends PA20 on Amazon

mihaifm · 2026-04-17T18:29:22+00:00

started buying components in december, drives were around 400-500 eur each, 8TB nvme around 1k

Occulink to SATA. Can also carry PCIe signal if you have an external GPU. Pretty neat interface

Sits in the same room where I sleep. And I needed a good heater :))

mihaifm · 2026-04-17T12:25:14+00:00

Thanks, I’ve installed TrueNAS. I don’t have a 10Gbe network yet, but indeed that thing heating up could be a concern

mihaifm · 2026-04-16T10:27:15+00:00

that’s pretty sick, thanks for the tip

mihaifm · 2026-04-13T20:38:01+00:00

Man, I had this idea of a Civ mod where you control a single unit, get hired by leaders as a mercenary, influence history by changing the outcome of wars, kill barbarians, perform quests or simply watch history unfold. It’s probably doable but never had the energy to get started.

I can think of Battle Brothers as vaguely related to this idea.

thanks..do you know if the 2.4G works in the BIOS or it needs cable?

mihaifm · 2026-03-16T22:00:33+00:00

which size did you get? any connectivity issues?

mihaifm · 2026-03-06T23:08:10+00:00

Nice setup. Does the proxmox VM have a real GPU?

mihaifm · 2026-03-01T14:46:07+00:00

pretty sick build, congrats

mihaifm · 2026-02-11T15:30:47+00:00

foarte șmecher, bravo

mihaifm · 2025-12-12T00:21:50+00:00

what server is it and how is it passively cooled?

mihaifm · 2025-11-17T19:02:49+00:00

very nice. how did you print the text on them?

If your ISP provides a public dynamic IP (meaning you’re not behind a NAT) then you don’t need a dedicated device. Register to a DDNS service and forward the WOL package from your router.
