Hi, I'm in the market to purchase a NAS for home use. I've never owned a NAS before, so this would be a learning experience for me Having done some research I found I would be most interested in a Synology branded NAS, I understand they are not the best price/performance, but they have a lot of...

Hello All. My interest in this topic is mainly PSU, but there is also some HDD info and topics. I hope my question makes sense and helps other people who decide to make their own storage server, box, cloud at home. I have a general home use PC that basically nobody uses. It is basically a non...

I have been a front-end developer / UI-UX developer for approx 15 years. Over the years I have lost countless projects / designs that would be very, very valuable in my portfolio (and I am now currently looking for a new job) lost to new pc builds, discarded / lost / failed harddrives or not...

Hello, I recently bought a used supermicro system that came with C9X299-PGF motherboard. However, I'm now regretting that I didn't do enough research about the product. The motherboard only supports the Intel X series, and it is hard to find one that is reasonably priced. Further, Supermicro...

Earlier this year I build a new windows 10 machine and used it as a low load NAS / Minecraft Server. For months things were fine. I would get an average transfer speed of 110 mb/s. Recently the speed has gotten worse and I am transferring at an average speed of 11 mb/s. Both computers are wired...

I have an old (excuse the dust) Intel Xeon E3-1275 CPU that is lying around and I want to use it in a NAS. The motherboard it came with is a server motherboard focused on networking and it only has 4 SATA ports, 2 USB ports and a lot of RJ45 ports (~10). I want to buy a motherboard that is...

Are there any options for a NAS software that works with Windows 10? I know the NAS software NextCloud is popular, but it only works with Ubuntu Linux.

I know NextCloud works on Ubuntu server, but I'm just confirming that it would work on Ubuntu desktop as well.

I am in the process of creating my own home server, but since I am new to this I am not sure what OS would be the best for me to use. In addition to being a NAS, I would want the server to be able to burn media and have the potential to be a game server.

Hey guys, I'm building a home desktop that will be used as a server. I won't be really needing GPU at all, so I'll get something for 10$ just to boot and get it going. I'll be running Linux, possibly Proxmox in the future. WIll the following build do fine with 450W PSU Seasonic Focus Gold...

Hi Everyone I’m currently exploring a home server build with a target idle power consumption of 10w (with basic hardware before adding additional storage drives, pci etc) and have been reading numerous blogs and posts in my attempt to obtain a balance between processing needs and efficiency...

Dear Community, I would like to ask a few questions on how to set up my home network in such a way to reduce latency and make it reliable. So far, I have a simple router that came from the ISP and all devices are connected directly to it (mostly wirelessly and I feel like it sometimes gets...

Hello I have an old pc sitting around just missing HDD's and a PSU (Here's the rest: link) I wasn't sure which I should make, a home windows 10 server or a NAS. The idea of having a small box that acts as a NAS that I can hook up to my UPS sounds really nice but at the same time it would be...

One of my close friends who I LAN with often is moving away soon, and I thought that setting up a home server would be a good method for us to play long-distance on a game that doesn't support private online multiplayer. We usually play Unturned with a couple other friends, and we thought home...

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/XvMsJb I'm able to get the cooler, motherboard and case for $200AUD from a friend. With this opportunity I'm deciding to build a home server which is something I've been meaning to do for a while. I don't have a budget but I'd like the performance to be...
