    HP V1910 - fan needed in room temperature?

    It needs a fan to stay cool in a full datacenter rack. There is much less heat to get rid of in regular room so does 1910 run so much hotter than a passively cooled 1800 or 1820 that it needs active cooling in less demanding environments too. For what little I've put it on power the fan seems to...

    Is now the time to go to 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps home networking?

    Imho, if you have to ask the answer is no. For me only operation that could benefit from faster network is dumping recordings from DVR to NAS and (if we forget that the DVR has only 1gb port) that is always one time operation that can run at its own pace during night, it doesn't matter if it...

    HP V1910 - fan needed in room temperature?

    If I would take the fan out of (24 port) V1910 would it overheat in room temperature (under +25°C in summertime)?

    Commercial or DIY NAS

    Important thing for me is the bit that it's a Linux. While I do have a Linux VM running I wont make it OS for my server, it will be either Windows or VmWare. And since I don't trust Windows enough for doing and expanding RAID with it the number of disk slots in future server will be irrelevant...

    Commercial or DIY NAS

    I do hope that disks will become little cheaper over time but the total cost is the reason why I haven't committed fully on this already. I can't justify spending well over 3000€ for convenience of use but I can justify cost of buying a NAS and disks that store data I already have. If adding...

    Commercial or DIY NAS

    Ok, that's not something I want to do. And little googling indicated that you can't go straight from RAID 1 to RAID 6 with QNAP or Synology, you' have to go 1 > 5 > 6. I'm not sure I want to do that either. Which menas that the initial cost is rising so much that I have to be sure that I will...

    Commercial or DIY NAS

    I wasn't asking about changing disk bigger, I was asking about adding more disks. 18TB disks, 8-slot NAS, with RAID 6 that makes maximum space of 108TB. I don't how close to that I will go, though. My guestimate is that I have about 30TB data to add to current little over 10TB and it will grow...

    Commercial or DIY NAS

    For proprietary server hardware it usually is. And even if it were possible in this case it probably is cheaper to buy new consumer hardware than used server HW. And definitely cheaper than buying new server hardware to old frame. The idea of dumping disks to HD is ease of access, especially...

    Commercial or DIY NAS

    Hi, while the title is quite general I registered to this forum for a very specific situation. Some time ago I replaced my trusty old NAS with an old server that I got with a price you can't beat. Server had been a VmWare host in its previous life and was filled with disks so I installed...
