A HP 410 or P800 series will work or yo cna go single channel with a LSI HBA 9200 series or higher SAS controller should work but do your research for if you want HBA or RAID first. .

This video helped me out tremendously a few months ago when I found a lot of cheap hard drives and decided to setup a homelab. I think I was a little overzealous when I first saw this and bought the linked LSI 9200 card without really understanding the difference between an HBA and a RAID controller as was discussed towards the end. If you're like me and setting something up for ZFS/TrueNas you're gonna want to go for something like the LSI 9211-8i instead, as the MegaRAID cards will not be compatible

Fun project! Love your videos by the way, the knowledge you share is valuable. I should leave more comments and questions. I've personally wanted to put together a "compact" NAS comprised of 24 or more NVMe M.2 or U.2 drives (M.2 better for thr compact plan I'd guess) but it's a difficult ask due to the PCIe lanes. I guess the only way would be to do something with an EPYC CPU (Siena?). I just wonder how it could be put into a compact form factor or if it's infeasible.

Great information. Thanks :) You have RF shielded your walls - when it's time to consider doing that? Can you provide some photos of how you're grounding your Racks - Every equipment should have individual ground wire to a Rack, then entire rack wired to a wall outlet ground? Is that considered safe to ground a rack to a wall socket?
@leadiususa7394 25 күн бұрын
Yes you can do that because the ground of the power outlet match your voltage gauge of 20 amps. or also refer to the power cable gauge of 10 or 12 gauge wiring. So yes for basic rack grounding a wall socket will work. This would not work if you had let say use two 30 amp connections for your PDU surge strips and you grounded your rack to R5 15/20 amp wall outlet instead, then you have a risk of fire. keep apples to apples, If you use 30 amp power source then ground to the same power source to keep things safe.

I don't really do back ended slow NAS solutions myself but in this case it's about the size mostly but I do agree. I am enjoying the design part of this I got to say.

Hi Brad, I have often found in my office/lab that heat has always been a big problem. The principle reason is this area is downstairs in my home, therefore has double brick walls and also faces east. The brick walls act like a heat sponge during the morning and make it near impossible to remove heat from the air inside the room during the height of summer. At one point I had 3 42RU racks in a much larger room with most of the gear running 24/7 which included 7 or 8 HDD shelves and DL380+580 servers associated network gear. At one point this “large’ room had a high temperature of around 36 degrees in the middle of summer. Not good at all. I ended up dividing the same space, about 8 x 3.6M, in half. Although I have not finished yet, I’ve calculated I should be able to run the same gear in a smaller room, but with hot and cold aisle type set up, the room can be kept at about 28 degrees C. The hot aisle faces the hot front brick wall of my home. Still not ideal, but this is only applicable when running my whole lab flat out……which doesn’t happen often. But still allows me to use the same heat pump gear, much more efficiently. Which is just one of the things we learn as we go. Also having worked in the HVAC &Building Automation industry at one point has helped. Take care Brad.
@leadiususa7394 Ай бұрын
OK so first, the brick wall is bring in heat from the outside. If you notice in my videos I have a silver covered walls. There is a reason for that,. That is to prevent the very thing you are dealing with. You need to insulate the inner wall away from the the outer head of the outside. place up ferning strips 1x3 inch or 2x4 inch wood boards up on the brick walls and then put up the insulation that has a high R factor to retard heat retention. That will help a lot with your issue,. Hope this helps some.

Think of it more like a main resources vs. simple cluster compute power for you have access to all the I/O inputs such as USB and so on. Build a I/O cluster in your house and all the PC systems DP are part of it, Printers, USB devices an so on are available for use with in the cluster, but this could go farther to include monitoring systems, security and camera's CNC and other lab gear... and so on. The devices come just like PNP and not DMA addresses (old school) One scanner or printewr can server the whole network and pops up in your print queue, or a comman NAS for use fully secure by being in the cluster. think of this as user cluster and not a HPC or HCP cluster for home IT lab use or more as a central home or building cluster.

@@leadiususa7394 "So can't we have a Cluster service that blows away the ProxMox clusters out of the water. Some much gets wasted on the PC or server that runs but not to its fullest." To this end though, it REALLY depends on what you do/what you're doing. I have a 3 node Proxmox HA cluster, and one of the nodes has a load average of 3.1 (out of a 4-core processor), which means that node is used, to at least 75% of its capacity (all of my nodes are the OASLOA Mini PC which has an Intel N95 Processor in it). The other nodes are sitting at around 9% and 3% CPU utilisation, but the memory utilisation is 75% and 83% respectively. So, it REALLY depends on what you're doing. My node that is using 75% of the CPU, I have an Ubuntu VM running so that I can run SPICE so that I can drive three monitors with it (because it's a LOT harder to do the same with an Ubuntu LXC container). The other two nodes run three Ubuntu LXC containers EACH, hence the low CPU utilisation, but has a high enough memory utilisation. So it REALLY depends on what you're doing.

My personal opinion as IT-Professional: Personal Devices are a godsend for corporate IT. You can force your users to use ONLY specified Services and connections with their devices. And we all know, your general User is very much too uneducated and simple minded to handle a whole operating system. The Money on the other hand is quickly fixed , if you consider manufacturing large quantities for your corporate directly from factories. As this is of course only possible for bigger companies, smaller ones need to rely on vendors. I remember Apple offering a specific version of their SE2 to us, because we had a limit of 450,- for a singular device. Anything above that would've needed special approval. So we got the most barebones packaged SE2's without charger and any kind of booklet.
