The (hopefully) proper controller card has arrived for the #DIY #NAS. This one put me back around CAD$75 but it came with the 6 GB SATA cables and should be able to handle all six of the hard drives.

My "cost-effective" SATA controller for my #DIY #NAS arrived today. Went to the website I purchased it from to check some information only to discover that it is only for Windows.

Glad they accept returns no questions asked!

@jEvisHome I'm going to be building a @TrueNAS server. It is the evolution of #FreeNAS and I've always wanted to play with #ZFS.

This is the beginning of the new #NAS that I'm building. By the time I'm done, this will store 20 TB of files!

It was originally a workstation I built in 2008. I made a few upgrades over the years such as more RAM & SSD.

Great NAS start point!

Another busy weekend! To do:

- catching up on work with @opsmateco
- starting new @TrueNAS #NAS build from found parts
- figure out why my new computer keeps crashing
- 10,000 steps
- be in denial that it snowed last night

Looking at building a new #NAS as I'm running out of storage.

Started looking at aggregating the unused storage space I have running on all my home systems.

New research on distributes file systems:
- @IPFS
- @Gluster
- @MooseFS

@homelabers I'm starting to work on building my own home NAS and this was really good information to point me in the right direction for my own build.

Here's the link to @briancmoses's blog post about the build: blog.briancmoses.com/2021/11/diy-na…

Ran into @HomelabOs while I was researching my #OpenSource #NAS. Looks like a potential #HomeLab all in one system. Seems to rely heavily on @Docker.

Do any of you have any experience with this?

Along with an #OpenSource #NAS OS, I also need hardware recommendations:

- hard drives (archive, short term, OS)
- case
- motherboard
- RAM
- power supply
- CPU

Did I miss anything? What do you recommend?

My home NAS is full so I want to build my own using an #OpenSource solution. I'm looking at:

- @OpenMediaVault
- @XigmaNAS (aka NAS4Free)
- @Rockstor4
- @TeamOpenfiler
- @TrueNAS (aka FreeNAS)

Which would you recommend?
