End of an Era - The Transition Is Done! (Picture)

[iteknik]

The other day I securely erased my Synology NAS. Marking the start of my future with HexOS and TrueNAS after a few months of testing.

I went from three mini PC:s and one synology NAS to this:

The pic includes my main gaming rig - the NAS is the black box. The box that now runs all my services including a VM with Windows for certain windows specific tasks.

The NAS specs:
Fractal Node 304 case
Gigabyte A520I AC ITX motherboard
Ryzen 5700G (8C/16 threads)
32GB 3200mhz (memtested 24h)
3x 4TB HDDs (can expand to 6 drives as needed)
GTX 1060 for steam streaming - isolated for the windows VM
PSU 350w (The NAS draws 60w idle)
APC UPS

What’s running:
Transmission
Immich
VPN
Minecraft server
Windows VM (“Steamcache”, streaming and more)
NUT-server (as the UPS is shared with the gaming rig)
Cloud backups
Samba of course
More to come (the hardware is barely working)

Problems setting it up:
There were some but so few that I can't even remember them. Mostly with HexOS on testing-hardware not the final parts.

Looking forward to everything coming in the future. But honestly… I’m fine 😎

Nice transition. Looks as a future proof setup! And a pretty clean setup too.

Hmm.  When I bought a 10MB hard drive for my PC XT I was told that was future proof.  I wonder how much of that hardware will still be there in two years?  Sure looks set for now though.  😁

Yeah you're probably right. Hardware will change over time. But that is also the point of this endeavour 😊
