Terramaster is definitely the budget friendly home lab/backup go to, in my opinion. Even though USB is "not recommended" running ZFS, I have not encountered any issues using usb storage as the boot drive (mirrored) in my F2-423 setup, for almost over a year and a half. I have 2 of them, in my setup. One is a SSD NAS running TrueNAS Scale, NextCloud, Syncthing, Tailscale. That is used to sync my iPhone contacts & photos (iCloud ain't getting my money and data LOL), Laptops and various devices data & configs, legally obtained Plex media (Plex runs on another device and not any of the NASes), and the other NAS (HDDs) is running TrueNAS scale, Syncthing to backup the SSD NAS (Only Photos, Contacts, device data & configs. I don't waste space backing up the Plex media, if that is gone too bad). I also backup all my important data and configs to Blu-ray monthly and store the disk offsite. I had no clue Terramaster even sold a 6 bay DAS, I knew of their 6 bay NAS (that looks the same). Keep up the good work proving "da haters" wrong, that just because something is not recommended doesn't mean it doesn't work at all, and doesn't have a use case. I will let you know when I encounter problems with my USB mounted boot drives. Anyway keep on trucking my fellow Jenker.

This is a great idea cuz using USB give u more flexibility on what computer you can use for your server, opening options to a wide range of Mini PC with ultra low idle power (whereas these PC do not have many sata port/power for regular HDD connection). I'd also suggest SnapRaid + Mergerfs to take it to another level, giving even more flexibility. I've been using external HDD running on a random PC with samba as a file storage for a while so I approve your setup.
@nadtz Жыл бұрын
There's a reason OMV removed the USB option from the GUI and why it's generally recommended not to do this. Raid over USB isn't recommended because USB can and will do weird things at the worst times especially when doing things like writing a lot of data to it. You can get terramasters 4 bay NAS for about the same price as this DAS, replace the Terramaster software and have a much better system overall. For something to mess around with and experiment on no problem but it's not really a good idea for something you are going to use a lot.

I am a newbie when it comes to networking and NAS solutions, but I have a idea of one I want to try but I’m unsure if it’s feasibility. My solution to a small NAS is to use a mini-PC (Beelink Mini S12 Mini PC) with a 128GB NVME M.2 for the OS and Urbackup as the NAS software solution, a 4Tb SATA 2.5 SSD for interior storage expansion. That’s for the first part, the further expansion plan is to attach a 4 Bay HDD Cage Chassis, connecting it to the Beelink through a NVME M-Key PCI Express to SATA 3.0 Adapter Converter Hard Drive Extension Card. My only unsure portion of the NAS, is my decision to power the 4 Bay Chassis using a Pico UPS (24pin DC ATX PSU 12V DC Input DC 12V 150-watt Pico PSU) as the power source attaching a COMeap ATX Power Jumper Cable to turn the chassis on/off. On paper it seems as if it should work but of course like I stated I’m a newbie. What do you think? Would it work?

I actually have a similar setup to this, but without RAID, and OMV is in a virtual machine under Proxmox (hard drives passthrough) in my Chinese mini PC. It's been running solid since I built it 3 or 4 months ago. I have a Yottamaster DAS instead, which is almost 3 times cheaper (but 5 drives instead of 6). I think it's 3.2 USB as well, but I could be wrong. I use this setup to backup my main NAS and do other things under Proxmox.

The Terramaster DAS is a pretty cool idea. But holy hell $300 for an disk holder? if it were 100-150 sure that is a hell of a deal, but you can buy a used case, several USB to sata adapters, and a USB hub, plug in and go for 1/4 the price. And yes build it yourself is most always going to beat buying a prebuilt, But this seems very Niche for what it is. If they cut the price in 1/2 I'm sure they'd have a hard time keeping these on the shelves for Homelabbers.

I use OMV and do prefer the new Compose plugin myself, just a couple of things to point out, there IS a stop button, in fact there is more features than Portainer has. Of course there is noting wrong with running Portainer as its only a docker container. A few advantages are that it's easier to backup your docker-compose (stacks) files, it has a global env file that has all my variables in and makes setting up compose files nice and easy. But each to their own. I do prefer OMV use of docker rather than Truenas scale, which I thought would be better. But I see more trouble with scale and I prefer to have my own compose files rather charts. I do really like OMV as I use JBOD. Looking forward to more OMV videos

It supports SAMBR, FTP, any additional Linux functionality that I needed to add (DDNS, Rsynch, sheduled backups, auto time synch, nmon, etc etc), Internet remote access and it runs headless or connected via VNC. In total it cost me less than $100 excluding disks. (Admittedly it is rather slow, but I can stream 2 videos simultaneously so that's good enough for me.) It has worked almost flawlessly for 4 years so far and now has 20TB of disk space.

Or, if you need x64 and you really want to work with *sense firewall/routing, you can get a USFF ex-corporate desktop for under $100. You can always slap another card into them.

I run two "used" 1 TB drives in an ORICO 4-bay HDD enclosure, in RAID0 as my "workspace/network share" drive. I run Handbrake encodes and anything else that would unnecessarily use up writes on my SSDs. They're on borrowed time, but they seem to work fine enough for what I'm using it for. All data on it can be lost and I would have a copy of it elsewhere. I'm also sharing that drive with a computer with a J4125 processor, so even worse than the 5105, and it again, works good enough for what I'm using it for. Terabytes worth of data has been written over the network onto that drive, and has run constantly for years without failure. This setup runs faster than the ethernet port can support, so I found little reason to spec beyond that, since the ethernet port on it is not upgradeable.
