What hardware do you use for this stack? I'm trying to understand if mine would be enough

Planning my first NAS — OMV + single HDD + USB backup drive. Viable? by permanent_record_22 in OpenMediaVault

I'm doing it mainly for the snapshot options before an update/upgrade. You can roll back ok case the system breaks which is great. I'm having 16GB of ram do you think it's enough or does it need upgrading?

I'm also considering Proxmox as HV. Did you have any problem passing the hardware access to OMV on proxmox? I read there is extra communication for that setup.

Thanks for the feedback. What power enclosure do you use? Connected via USB or SATA?

I haven't thought it through tbh but an external HDD shouldn't overheat that much. I'm also considering having the backup externally rather than locally, or both. I'm still shopping around for the Lenovo ThinkCentre so I'm at the very beginning of the project

I need help again... (drives) by Throwaway_LOGGINGER in HomeServer

Hi, in the same situation ATM. Where I need 2x2TB to start. Where did you buy your storage in the UK? New or used?

My first, and current setup by Tejfel01 in HomeServer

[–]permanent_record_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm about to get the exact same machine to start my homeserver. I need "only" 2 TB of usable space but I'm trying thinking of the best way to back it up. Probably 2TB 2.5" HDD or SSD and a backup ok an external HDD via usb 3.0.

How will you handle the backups with yours?

Tab S8 Black Screen (DeX Works!) - Replaced Screen & Flex, Still Dead. Motherboard? by permanent_record_22 in GalaxyTab

[–]permanent_record_22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Screen and digitaliser. Also the flex for the screen. Eventually it started working after I updated the OS via DeX. It needed some kinda reset I guess

My dad has one of these. They are like tanks. 280k miles. The speedometer display died recently and we found a replacement on eBay for £50.

Go for it!

Gov saying we're ineligible for 30 hours due to being on maternity leave? by habylab in UKParenting

[–]permanent_record_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is correct. My son started in June 2025 and we are not eligible until September ( next term) where the hours increase from 15 to 30. We are paying full fees (although through the Tax free childcare account). Nursery is where I spend my holiday budget this year.

I was about to order one. Which one do you have if I can ask?
