    If it isn't mentioned there, then, it is safe to assume the answer is no

    Goal was cold storage.

    I personally would recommend backblaze instead of all of those. And answer is yes, you didnt consider all your options before spending money.

  7. Informative
    Indus Monk reacted to shoutingsteve in Thinking about making a NAS   
    Yes and no.  The more times a file is moved around the more likely it is to be screwed up.  But, when it is confirmed through a system like zfs, it is less likely that the screw up will not be caught and corrected.

    Great News!  They are the same thing!  FreeNas became Truenas at the start of the pandemic.

    I, also, run FreeNAS.  It's pretty great.

    Indus Monk reacted to GhostRoadieBL in Thinking about making a NAS   
    - yes, that hardware is plenty for a NAS, would make a great plex server too
    - I run FreeNAS (aka TrueNAS), it's a linux based OS with a really simple interface layer and very focuses on being a NAS OS over anything else
    - 8GB is plenty for cold storage, there shouldn't be a need for more unless you plan to run VMs or do file conversions, since most NAS OS's run linux they are very light on RAM
    - you will have to setup a network share, this is different on each OS you choose so it's best to narrow that down. once the share is set up you access it just like any HDD on your system
    - do you mean use the NAS as a media box and hook the display up to it or access it through a smart tv interface for something like plex or media playback? If you are hoping to use it as a PC with the TV as an output you can run a VM or even just run windows instead of a NAS specific OS and setup a network shared drive which is "hosted" by the computer and the rest of the computers on your network can access it.

    Indus Monk reacted to Windows7ge in Thinking about making a NAS   
    This is more than good enough to act as a NAS/File Server. You can omit the GPU though if the motherboard has display outputs.
     
    There's a lot of options available for NAS operating systems. One of the most popular being TrueNAS CORE. It's not Linux but it's not Windows either. The initial setup might be a little nerve wrecking but once it's installed it has a user friendly web page you can access it from and setup whatever storage/sharing you like.
     
    They might still support the PLEX media plugin which you could use for streaming video to your TV.
     
    It should be mentioned though that you shouldn't keep this as your only copy of your data. Make sure you maintain at least a second copy of everything important somewhere else.

    Will ECC memory and a quadro improve Adobe Premiere and after effects stability?
     
    I'd really like LMG staff to investigate this further  It will make for a highly informative video
     
    In 2015 I heard that premiere is really picky with RAM . Some modules can cause crashing and that replacing the modules would fix that. I responded by saying "Then why not go for ECC memory?"
     
    Ever since then, i have wondered, whether using ECC memory AND A QUADRO RTX will improve Premiere and After Effect's stability or not.

    to be honest. I'm kind of excited for the RTX 3070. I'd wait for that to materialize first, then i'd think about building a pc. But as a baseline, this one with a cheaper case will do you fine

    Indus Monk reacted to AndreiArgeanu in Best Case for Airflow for Under $100   
    The Lian Li LANCOOL II-X is a pretty good case, it support up to 8 fans (2 top, 2 bottom, 3 front and 1 back) and support up to a 388mm long graphics card which should be enough for nearly, if not all graphics cards out there. It also comes with 3 120mm fans included and has a little RGB as well.

    Meshify C is probably the best all-around option for something under $100.
