I remember it as an Athlon Thunderbird, but I don't think any records remain... EDIT: They do! El Reg covered it, though for a copy from a different forum (also long since dead). It was an Athlon XP1500+, and his username was "Trubador" not "Troubadour." EDIT EDIT:
alright so getting back on topic, I'm still researching hardware atm but I'm looking at doing a DIY job in a 4u chassis as the general consensus seems to be the small the U the more aggressive/noisy the cooling system for it will be. my next question is the NAS array itself, I've got a large collection of movies (HD and 4k), TV and music which I want to centralise and a mixture of assorted hdd sizes consisting of 12s and 4s with a few SSD's in the mix. the problem i can see is that mixing the 12s with the 4s is going to hurt as i'll lose so much space on the 12s, can i build say 3 stores, one for each category and then using a specific hdd type for that store? ie the 12s for movies, the 4s for tv and the SSD's for music (most used/least power drain)?
Maybe use the 12TBs for your media and the 4TBs as a separate array for other stuff, using the SSDs as a read/write cache.
Well I didn't expect this thread to be going all those years back I made it. Guess I should update... All my kit lives at work in our datacenter. I've 2X 10G uplinks to our core and announce my own IPV4/6. 40GB Top of Rack Switch. Most gear is 10Gb to this or 1G Ethernet to an Access Switch. 2 Watchguard M440's running PFSense. 3 Node Dell R630 Proxmox Cluster. 1 Dell R320 - Unraid / Plex connected to a Netapp 24 bay Disk Shelf. Various other servers belonging to friends.
Upsides of a long sick leave: being able to tinker with home IT and keep the upgrade-ish project going. Currently making cables for our new Hyper V host as it needs uhh a few Sadly Optiplexes disable onboard NIC when another is plugged in. Would have preferred leaving that for management but hey bad decisions by manufacturer ahoy!
