one of my many hobbies includes massively overthinking my homelab so i have thought about if i am going to go rj45 or sfp 😅 I think up until i can save up enough money to purchase my own home i will be going rj45 because of slightly higher ease with less permanent setups such as running it outside uncovered. part of my homelab upgrades includes switching over every part of my network to ubiquiti devices. its not cheap but i was looking at the unifi flex 10gbe or unifi flex 2.5g

I forgot to post in this thread but the idle power was somehwere around 60-80w i forget but that aside im super excited, i finally found some deals on the parts i was looking for and will finally be (almost) completing my nas I ordered my jonsbo n5 yesterday and the a few more hdds i will also be trying to push the jonsbo n5 to the limit by modifying it to hold more hdds. Im not confident but im hoping itll work. new parts list below Cpu - Core Ultra 265k Cpu Cooler- Thermalright Frost Spirit 140 Mobo - Asus Z890M-Plus Prime WiFi Realtek RTL8125 2.5gb Ram - 4 x Gskill Ripjaws m5 48gb 5200mhz cl 40 Storage 3 x 16 tb Seagate skyhawk ai hdd 7 x 14 tb Seagate exos hdd 5 x 14tb Western Digital ultra star hdd 2 x 2 tb Samsung 980 pro ssd (looking for one more so i can do a 3 way mirror special drive for my main storage pool for fun) 2 x Intel Pro 5400s 240 GB (boot drive) 2 x Intel Pro 5400s 240 GB (apps pool) PSU - Super Flower LEADEX VII Platinum PRO 850 W case fans - 5x Arctic P12 Pro The plan is to drill some holes into the case so that these phanteks drive caddies will fit.
