    Recommended specs for small personal NAS

    Just to keep you guys updated on the project, my NAS is now fully fonctionnal! Maybe not in it's final form, time will tell since I had quite some fun learning to use the Terminal and might tweak it further. I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 with two Samsung EVO 860 SSD in a RAID1 assembly (thanks to...

    Recommended specs for small personal NAS

    Thanks for your input MichaelCG and dosborne. The further I go, the more a proper NAS is gaining over a built for my purposes. Currently having more fun than I thought fiddling with the Raspberry Pi (pretty geeky but meh, having fun nontheless). Using Putty, getting acquainted with a debian...

    Recommended specs for small personal NAS

    Thanks a lot for the input. I am also considering FreeNAS which requires a slightly beefier machine (8GB RAM minimum, 16 recommanded) and is bringing the total cost higher then expected. Probably more than I had in mind. I'm not really worried about the operating cost but reliability weights...

    Recommended specs for small personal NAS

    Thabls for the reply, I'm sensing that QNAP and Synology should not be ruled out hehe. I'm fine with their product but was aiming at a Windows PC for the familiarity of the OS and had a few recommended softwares in mind. Any QNAP/Synology model come to mind for their reliability of use (2 bay...

    Recommended specs for small personal NAS

    Yes I've seen those, only issue was some users reporting transfer rates on the slow side of things as the PI's ressources seemed exhausted by the task. Also the USB ports can't power a HDD or SSD so I'd need external power and the power adapters I could see on Amazon aren't well rated (people...

    Recommended specs for small personal NAS

    Hi l&ld, since this is more a project than a bulletproof data solution I would prefer to keep it on the DIY side. What would be best in the Windows PC category for the task? Budget would be best under 400$ but since I don't know exactly what specs to aim, it's hard to say.

    Recommended specs for small personal NAS

    Looking for some advice on a project of mine and figured you guys could help me get started in the right direction! I want to be able to access/store pictures from my phone to my computer and futur NAS on my LAN when outside my house. I'll be using a Raspberry Pi as a VPN server access and have...

    Powerline ethernet for greater reliability?

    It's worth buying a 15' cable for the test indeed. Will try that.

    Powerline ethernet for greater reliability?

    Hi all, I'm wondering if a powerline ethernet adapter would help my situation. I am experiencing interruptions when streaming hi-res content from Tidal. Current setup is a cable modem Technicolor TC4400 plugged to an ASUS RT-AC1750 B1 router running the latest Merlin firmware. ISPs current...

    Asus RT-AC1750 B1 Merlin install

    Bringing an old thread back! I have the same thing as Steve_D going on with my ASUS RT-AC1750 B1 needing the Merlin build to accept the openVPN setup from my VPN provider. Could someone tell me which Merlin version would be ideal and more likely stable as of today for this particular router?
