Mobius

funny enough im less worried about my power going out than i am worried about a family member turning off or unplugging my power strip. You'd think a heads up to not touch this outlet that is in a super hard to reach place would be enough.

wish i could help but that compatibility list confuses me too, i never got around to even purchasing a ups because of it.

Glad we could help. Im sure once you create a shortcut for smb and setup immich for the family they should easily be able to pick up how to use it. I like nas specific cases because they take up soooooo much less space than traditional cases. I'm currently using an old pc case i had lying around till i scrounge up some more disposable income for a nas case and it literally takes up more than 3x the volume of the jonsbo n4 and cost more when i bought it years ago.

ahh yeah hexos does freak out about single drive pools but support is incoming. afaik hexos doesn't care too much about different sized ram, latency and speed so i think mismatching shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as your motherboard boots fine which it seems like it does.

I'm a bit confused, what exactly do you have as a raid0? Also you may not need a ssd cache since you have a lot of ram. You probably already know this but you didn't need to remove your server from deck just to use the underlying truenas. kudos for the beefy system tho. Looking forward to seeing what you think.

You aren't here to argue with other users about semantics. Consider this me politely asking you to stop doing that.

HexOS is in beta and we can probably expect feature parity with truenas eventually.

Glad you got everything working

Ssd cache isn't really worth it since truenas does really use it as how you would expect it to. You will likely need to erase your drives using the guide i made Now to get one click app installs to work again you need to set your pool as the apps pool in truenas. I forget exactly how to do it but if you explore truenas or search the forum you might find it. Someone else might also reply with it below

Microcenter and ebay are 2 resources i use a lot. MC was better back when they had mix and match bundles.

i believe this is what the team stated as well. Ideally there will be an announcement prior to the 1.0 release to give people one last chance to purchase at the discounted price.

i do love the arr stack, i don't use them to download anything but i use them to rename my linux ISOs

I also want to mention that the HexOS team is still very small and iirc still under 10 people, majority of whom were hired after the beta launch. I believe the current priorities are to make HexOS easier to use not optimize it for honestly fringe use cases. By using truenas underneath HexOS we are able to improve HexOS many fold faster than if we branched away from truenas and can no longer use their updates. i see you don't want zfs but a big selling point for nas software is zfs. If HexOS didnt have zfs myself and no doubt many other "power users" would not have purchased a license. So there are trade offs and we cannot just say more ppl would buy hexos if it didn't have zfs. Just because we have stronger hardware doesn't mean we don't want the ease of use that comes from HexOS. Many users have actually bought new/used parts to make a hexos build and many users here have helped them make budget builds. i would be thrilled if HexOS also supported lower spec devices but honestly i don't see the point. Apps won't be able to run on these devices and the experience wouldn't be great in general souring what users think of HexOS. Its like the people i know that say android phones are bad because the $200 android phone they bought is slower than the $1000 iphone they replaced it with. Lastly JonP did respond to your previous thread saying they aren't in a position to work on lowering minimum spec requirements currently and will consider it after the 1.0 release.

it was an interesting build but the parts list did not make too much sense (custom case aside).

maybe some of the space limitations can be overcome with a custom 3d printed case?

Jonp has mentioned somewhere that we shouldn't need to make a clean install for when HexOS leaves beta

Since the turnkey nas you mentioned charge a premium because of their fairly polished proprietary OS. I would also assume it would cost somewhere in between the 2

Custom built nas. intel core ultra 265k + asus prime matx motherboard (i would not recommend this motherboard)

it makes more sense to go with an intel cpu with integrated graphics intel has quick sync which great for transcoding videos. a dedicated gpu is unnecessary for plex in most cases

seems like what you want isn't very intense. there is this prebuilt that has been kinda popular This build is something that could work for you too https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/Jd292x I would however consider checking ebay to see if you can find a 8500(t) or 9500(t) and a compatible motherboard for cheap I'm not sure what the price for the jonsbo n4 is in europe so i just put in a conservative estimate for price. The Sagittarius 8 bay chassis that @Sonic mentioned is also an option.

the closest thing to that we have is profile -> edit profile -> fill out the about me section

Now when you say the deck portion do you mean the password to login to deck or the password to claim a server in deck?

you can get away with used if you are on a budget or just want to spend your money wisely. you can also buy newer hardware if you have more intensive workloads or want to "futureproof" is immich the only thing you plan on using? Personally i would recommend at least 1 small nvme drive for the OS (like 128gb) but some users have 2 ssds as their boot drive for additional safety. As for storage you just need 2+ of the same kind of drive. If you know all you need is a few tb, getting multiple ssds can make sense however for the same price you can likely get 5x more hdd storage if storage density is your priority. If you lmk your budget excluding storage i can recommend you what i think is your best fit.

They are both great systems. the big difference between the 2 systems are that the second one has 6 sata ports meaning you can plug in 6 hdds and the first had 4. The amount of drives in total that you want might be your deciding factor. However with a HBA card you can always add more drives. You have a pretty large cooler that won't fit many nas cases. Atx sized power supplies also have the same problem. An expensive but totally worth it case would probably be the jonsbo n5 which can fit either system. In general for more budget conscious builds i would recommend the jonsbo n4 but between a new psu and cooler, most of the savings would disappear. The 12600k likely will use less power than your 12700k which is pretty important for a nas. One more thing of note, you only need a very small boot drive for hexos, all extra space in the boot drive is unusable. It might be considering getting a small one just for that purpose.

You can manually set the drives to spin down but in general its not recommended since drives die faster that way. spinning up and down causing additional wear is not exclusive to zfs. An all ssd system would likely use much less idle power but that expensive for other reasons.
