1. offizieller Beitrag

    Just want to show You my NAS, I´ll make it short - english is not my language



    OMV = 5.5.2-1 (Linux 5.5.0-0.bpo.2-amd64) (is OUT) ----> 6.0.25-1 (Shaitan) (Linux 5.15.30-2-pve) (is OUT) ----> 7.0-29 (Sandworm) Linux 6.5.11-8-pve (is IN)

    Case = Temporary case that i found in junk (looking for some cheap case with option to mount 8+ HDD) (is OUT) --- > Chieftec BRAVO (BH-01B-U3-OP) (is IN)


    CPU: AMD A4-500 (is OUT) --- > i3-4330T (is IN) ----> i3-4330T (is OUT) ---> i7 4785T (is IN)

    MB = Asrock qc5000-itx/wifi (is OUT) --- > MSI : CSM-B85M-E45 (is IN)--->MSI : CSM-B85M-E45 (is OUT) ---> ASUS Q87M-E (is IN)

    RAM = 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3 1600 DDR3 - Overkill but it was just laying around -> 16GB (is out) --> 32GB @1600 @1,35V (is IN)

    SystemHDD = Seagate ST9160821AS 160GB 2,5' in usb 3.0 case

    PSU = Delta Electronics DPS-300AB-19 B 300W (is OUT) --- > Dell PCB014 275W (is IN)

    HDD = 4x 4TB - ST4000DM004 + 2x4TB - WDC WD40EFRX-68WT0N0 : 4x4TB in ext4 MergerFS 2x4TB - Snapraid (is OUT) - 3x8TB Seagate Exos ST8000NM001J 8TB (2x8TB MergerFS + 1X8TB Snapraid) and 1 512 SSD (2 partitions 1.OS 2.KVM+Docker) (is IN)


    Power consumption at wall: 38W --> max stress 51W --: 31W Idle -->stress : 75W


    Used for now as smb share, sFTP if needed

    Docker :

    1) Rutorrent

    2) OpenVPN --->wireguard

    3) MakeMKV

    4) Handbrake






    plans:


    1) LSI Card for more Storage

    2) Case (mayby hotswap and rack mount)

    3) Nextcloud or Owncloud




    NOW LOOKS LIKE THIS:





    THX for replay

    Well its just temporary solution so i dont bodher cuting zip ties ;)

    when if finley find suitable case that my wife accept (You know: it must be pritty and stiute for guestroom ) then I will make inside clean and nice or just move my new case to the basemant ;)

    I forget who it was but someone on the forum called that the WAF. The "Wife Acceptance Factor". :)

    more CPU power ( i7 4785T )

    Have you looked at CPU usage over a longer time using "Monitoring"?

    A pure OMV file server won't be able to use the extra power, hence I wonder what application is currently constrained by CPU power?

    handbrake and makemkv will DEFINITELY benefit from more CPU power.

    Thanks for replies but there isn't a direct answer to my question "what application is currently constrained by CPU power?"

    How is telling you two applications not a direct answer? Do they work with slower cpus? Yes. Are they a MUCH better with faster cpus? Yes. An A4-500 would be very slow and an i7 would give a considerable quality of life improvement. So, not sure where you are going with this...

    As I understand it, in the current setup a i3-4330 is used.

    Looking at

    https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/…l-Core-i3-4330/2293vs2876


    For single core performance the difference is at max a 16% gain versus about at least twice the cost (more likely 4x higher).

    Most applications can only use a single core (didn't check handbrake yet)


    That's the reason why I asked 'CPU usage over a longer time' as performance gains bigger that 30-50% get usually noticed by users.

    Assuming currently CPU is only used on average for 10% of a day, 16% gain will be hardly noticed.

    I didn't see the cpu change.

    handbrake is very multi-threaded. so gaining two physical cores would make a huge difference.

    Those are desktop assumptions. There are many times I will puts lots of encoding jobs in my handbrake queue and it will run for over 24 hours. So, even 16% would be hours different.

    Thanks, I understand now that the computer is actually a OMV multimedia transcoding & file server, that benefits from faster CPU
