Hello, Been thinking about either purchasing one of these or building my own. This will be for home use. I was looking at the QNAP 451+ or building (DYI NAS) one with FreeNAS. I also found that CentOS has a NAS project. Not sure which way to go. They would cost about the same. One would be proprietary and the other open source. I like open source. This for home use. Thought I'd start out

Folks The price point of Intel's NUC unit makes it attractive to use as a server that doesn't have significant computational load. In my environment, a USB connected hard-drive could provide all the storage needed. I wonder if anyone has had experience with it, and can answer: 1) Does Centos6 and/or Centos7 install from a USB connected optical drive? or a USB flash drive? I'd

I've been using a HP Microserver for the last couple years as my home file server, with FreeNAS, and 4x3TB drives. mine is one of the first generation N40L microservers, which I picked up on deep discount when they were on clearance. I put 16GB ECC ram in it, and its been working quite nicely. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz

I recently upgraded from CentOS 7 to CentOS 8. I have a Mediasonic HF2-SU3S2 external drive enclosure with 4x3Tb drives configured as a software RAID 5 array (mdadm) with LVM. It's connected to a USB 3.0 port. On CentOS 7, the drive performance is reasonable. On CentOS 8, performance is extremely slow, about USB 1.0 performance. Maybe worse. Connecting an external USB SSD to the CentOS 8 system ap...

...croaks, you lose everything. something like an HP Microserver is a much better choice for a SOHO server. Been running one of the older N40L models here for 2+ years, running FreeNAS, although it certainly can run CentOS. supports 8 or 16GB ram, with ECC, and has 4 SATA drive bays. Mine has 4x3TB in raidz (like raid5) for 7.3TiB total usable storage, I have no trouble reading or writing at near gigE speeds. Another good choice would be one of the mini-ITX "Avoton"/"Rangley" Atom C2xxx family of boards (don't let the 'Atom' branding fool you, these are lo...
