150 € build

1. offizieller Beitrag

    It's one month that I'm testing OMV + SyncThing on Raspberry Pi4 and I am pretty happy about the result. At the moment I use it only to sync files but I'm thinking to buld a better system with a budget of 150 € hdds excluded. I like the Odroid HC4 and the RockPro64 but probably never will be a big improvement over Pi4 so I'm evaluating to build a mini ITX system maybe with a Asrock J3455. What do you thing about these solutions?

    Well a Pi4 saturates a 1Gbit wired network already, what benefits for a user (aka client) of a NAS do you expect by investing into a fast NAS server?

    Ah, this information was provided in another post only.

    I'd suggest to outline the full details of HW, context and all issues encountered with the current Pi4 before we discuss potential solutions

    1.5 hours _EVERY_ time? Not sure how Syncthing works, but that sounds horribly inefficient.


    As far as staying with an SBC, I think RPi4 kind of caps out of the potential so good luck if you stay with SBC. If not, a lot people buy a used HP microserver for around your price target ($150usd seems to be the average selling bid price on ebay).

    Another good option would be a Lenovo ThinkServer TS140. Look for ecc ram and Xeon processor. Not all TS140’s have this. Patience will bring up offers in the $150-200 US range. Make sure the caddy trays are in good shape. Sometimes the plastic around caddy mounts will be rotted. Replacement caddy’s are readily available and cheap. The case will hold three drives with ease, and four with a little tinkering; five if you remove the optical drive.

    System Backup Typo alert: Under the Linux section the command should be sudo umount /dev/sda1 NOT sudo unmount /dev/sda1
