Question about multiple nas/omv

Pakcjo · May 4th 2020

Hi,

I’m planning on building my first nas. After a bit of research, it seems that the odroid hc-1 is a good low power consumption option with good performance.

However all the guides that I have seen so far describe using only one odroid, which leaves redundancy out of the equation. I’d ideally like to have sone kind of redundancy. Is the odroid not a good choice in this case?

The features i’m looking for (in priority order) are:

- low power

- redundancy

- cheap

Thanks!

I have a whole bunch of HC2s. With big drives. 12TB to 16TB. All connected to a Gbit switch. All on two bookshelves.

Check out my old thread here: My new NAS: Odroid HC2 and Seagate Ironwolf 12TB.

In general it works fine. But the HC2/HC1 are becoming a little old now. So I am not sure if I will buy more...

Actually a RPi4 with a good USB3 dual bay powered enclosure might be an interesting alternative.

If you have several servers running, I strongly recommend that you set up NFS shares and autofs. That way any server can use any share on any server. And it handles reboots and missing servers gracefully. You can have plex or emby running on one server, streaming media from another server. And you can backup shares in parallel between several servers simultaneously.

Thanks a lot!, I’d check it out and reevaluate.
