m9x3mos got a reaction from Armymen in New build NAS CPU - i5-12600K vs i5-14500 ? 12 gen CPU vs a 14 gen CPU???
Unraid doesn't fully utilize the e cores from what I remember and they will just be additional ones without hyper threading to it.
Depending on what the windows vm is going to be expected to do and if you want to isolate those cores or not.
If it isn't much the 12400 would be fine.
If it is going to be high work load or you are isolating, go faster.

m9x3mos got a reaction from Needfuldoer in How secure is unraid and or truenas scale?
Downloading torrents would be sketchy yes.
Just with any system, it is a secure as you make it.
I like the snapshot automation that truenas offers. That way if I do get hit with ransomware, shutdown everything and clear out the source of the attack and then in truenas revert the snapshot before it happened and my data is back.

m9x3mos got a reaction from OddOod in how to make users sign up Synology photo ?
Based on your testing then, it sounds like that isn't an option either.
Just generate a secure password to provide them.
They would also need to trust you since you are housing their data anyway. So trust would be implied by them accepting your offer to host the storage.

m9x3mos got a reaction from Aleph256 in Trying to set up a VPN server on my NAS
I would try using this site to scan those ports to make sure they are actually open.
It is possible that they are blocked by something else or your isp.

m9x3mos got a reaction from PSP. in can I build my own NAS and use Synology OS ? legit ?
Yeah I tried it as well. It is very picky about what you run it on and how you run it. I would recommend against it as well.

m9x3mos got a reaction from leadeater in comparing prices in Seagate website Drive Design (Air or Helium) what to pick ?
I agree. It wouldn't even be noticeable in the 15 bay storinator hl-15 maybe in the massive one though but most home labs aren't going to be using that.

m9x3mos got a reaction from PSP. in comparing prices in Seagate website Drive Design (Air or Helium) what to pick ?
With advancements I don't think it is needed as much as it was back in like 2017. It is more expensive to use helium so they have inventive to not use it when they can.
They were able to get better density with using helium due to the lower turbulence vs the air usage.
There was a blog article about it from western digital a while back.

m9x3mos got a reaction from johnt in using SHR . how to upgrade storage from 4tb to higher , DS224+ 2 bay
I wouldn't say they are garbage. They fill a need but raid is not a backup.

m9x3mos got a reaction from Needfuldoer in using SHR . how to upgrade storage from 4tb to higher , DS224+ 2 bay
100% this. SHR drives are hard to get a reliable rebuild in my experience with a failure rate of like 50% of the time it bombs on me.

m9x3mos got a reaction from Levent in Choosing hardware for my Home Server
It kind of depends on the software raid system you are using. Zfs and btrfs like having ram for caching.

m9x3mos got a reaction from Needfuldoer in CUSTOM HOME NAS
Like the other reply, I would suggest switching to scale over core.
As for remote access, you can run a wireguard or openvpn server to connect back home to it.
That can be hosted on truenas itself or if your router can act as a VPN server it can do it as well.
Alternatively, you can look into something like tailscale as well.

m9x3mos got a reaction from TechFatality in Want to move plex library from truenas to a windows ran plex instead
Like the previous comment, windows will be unable to read those drives.
But what you can do is install windows pro, setup hyper v and install truenas into a vm and import your existing pool.
This way you can still use truenas for storage but run anything else you want under windows.
You might lose a little performance doing it this way but not something you would notice outside of benchmarks.
Just make sure if the storage is encrypted you backup the key to it.

m9x3mos got a reaction from will0hlep in Barracuda vs iron wolf
As this is my personal experience, I wouldn't use smr drives in a nas.
I tested it on a spare setup and it was slow on writes and rebuilding a failed drive was causing errors that could lead to data loss sometimes.
Rebuild on an array of 4 1tb drives with one new drive took the system about 37 hours.

m9x3mos got a reaction from Motifator in Question about plex transcoding
It would also be encoding the stream that it sends. It is a two part process no?

Oh and also try checking the firewall on the host machine if you haven't already.

EposVox did a video on this a could of years ago. Might shed some light on your question.

m9x3mos got a reaction from trevb0t in New To The Home Media Server World
Largely I have had better luck getting nvidia to work with transcoding in Linux. The 650 won't have the nvenc encoder for acceleration though, but the 1050 does.

For a couple of users, the hardware you have will work fine.
Jellyfin for GPU encoding might be a little odd as I don't know if it supports intel but it might. I don't use that app.
Toss on linux mint and docker and you can start setting that stuff up.

m9x3mos got a reaction from MikeZ18 in Should I redo my server setup?
I agree, it does so smart. It might have something to do with your setup if it isn't working. Particularly if it is visualized.
Ecc is also just a nice to have. Been running without it at home for over 6 years and I haven't had any problems.
Do not over clock when using a storage solution. I had issues when testing if pbo was enabled. After turning that off it has been perfect.
Disable over clocks and check your hardware and cables.

m9x3mos got a reaction from MrFr4nk0 in All in one file, media and gameserver
I would suggest trying truenas scale.
That can handle the storage and zfs parts and you can use their built in apps for some things and set paths for them and setup a vm for the game server side of things.
I would also put next cloud in an Ubuntu vm and use their aio docker setup as that works very well and can be configured easily for daily backups.

m9x3mos got a reaction from OddOod in Randomly found out that my Dell Optiplex 3050 support ECC, should i use it for a 4 drives TrueNas?
Non ecc ram is totally fine. ECC is a nice to have but unless it is in a higher interference environment it is highly unlikely that it would be an issue.
I have had many systems with basic ddr4 ram for years and never ram into issues with any of them.

m9x3mos got a reaction from da na in What can i do if i didn’t save bitlocker before bios update
Since you just built it and there is no os, you don't need to do anything with bitlocker.
That you setup in windows to encrypt the drive.
In this case I would hit y.
