I just stopped mining the past month... the power draw cant be worse than my 3090 (pulling about 365w 24x7)

Right now the front runner plan is to use 1 of the T630s to replace my VM server (Precision T7810). Upgrade that T630 with 2x 20 core CPUs and make that my VM server. Then possibly "donate" the other T630 to a friend that has been wanting to upgrade/replace his older Synology NAS with the stipulation that I can use it as well as my offsite backup server vs paying Dropbox about $30.00 a month. Finally take the Precision T7810 (current VM server) and use that as my TrueNAS replication server. I knew I should have bought multiple HexOS licenses when they were $99 lol

I just purchased this on eBay @ a very cheap price for 2 PowerEdge T630 servers (with HDDs (16x900GB and 4x 2TB)) for only $147.50 for everything. Only reason I got it so cheap was because Im local and the seller would only ship to people via freight. Now I have my backup replication server(s) for my homelab

With those 2 options plus replacing all fans with Noctua, the HD chatter (the clicking from HD usage) is louder than the fans in my Dell server

2 options Im using on my Dell T430 currently... 1. IPMI Tools 2. Noctua NA-FC1, 4-Pin PWM Fan Controller (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072M2HKSN?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1)

You can do it now through the TrueNAS console itself (not HexOS Deck). I just configured one this morning for Dropbox. Once you login to the TrueNAS console itself, to to Data Protection and create a task for Cloud Sync Task. They have premade layouts for Backblaze

Would be nice if it supported PoE

Look what finally showed up at my door this morning. Ah yeah, Im one of the cool kids now lol

Right now the influencers are reporting issues with the Comet. Lawrence Systems reported some were taken care of the past few days

It does not break anything, myself and others have been using it this way for months

I bought 2 but the TrueNAS server I just built has iDrac so I no longer need one of them. Im sure Ill find something to use it on... I might just waste it on my pfsense router

When I saw the price initially, I thought it was too good to be true, I would be just donating and never receive a product.... until the Youtubers started to receive the product. I feel that you get a pretty good value packed for your money. Mine shipped the other day, Im just waiting for FedEX/UPS to deliver it

I was originally going to go with 10 drives plus 1 spare and no SLOG drive. Then I remembered I had new SSDs laying around for a couple years and my OCD would go nuts knowing I had unfilled bays... so I put HDs in them since I bought a couple extras as emergency spares in case of failure

Im not going to lie, I knew I was buying used drives so I bought the eBay insurance from Allstate Protection for $9.98 for 2 years
