My single drive silent NAS HP T5740 thin client build

  • Minimal airflow should have a great impact on HDD temperature.

  • My T5740 has a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, a 120Gb SSD and only just about gets warm to the touch (not very scientific, I know) and is reading data from my weather station and writing it to a MySQL db.
    It then processes the data to produce images for the web (Apache) every few seconds for near real time output and it does this 24/7.


    I love my re-purposed thin client (it only draws around 11 watts and rises to 13 watts when processing data).

  • There are my results (CPU stress 100%). I bought 40x40 mm fan (6500 rpm , 31 dBa) and placed in blue rectangle from this post:

    Results is too small for use fan - my fan was very noise !
    I dropped my idea and remove HDD from Thin Client. I use Debian instead windows - debian need less space and I installed on 4GB disk.

  • Hi all,
    my T5470 is on her way home.. I was trying to figure out by reading this interesting thread and the "Perky Towers" website if I'd be able to install a mSATA drive internally without adding the expansion unit.
    The card itself shouldn't take too much space.. I'm just not sure about the connector: maybe an angled one? and is it a standard 22 pin one?


    Did anybody succeeded without "heavy" mods?
    Are you using an expansion Devonian?


    Thanks!

  • I have! Only no pictures from it but yes with an angled one.

  • Hey guys, do you have any idea how to add multiple hard drives? Since it only has one PCI (slow: 133MB/s) and one 22 pin powered SATA II (faster: 600MB/s) connection I am unsure what to do. Using the PCI expansion unit would not really be a good solution I think, because the PCI port is not really fast (or is 133MB/s a speed I will never reach anyway?). Splitting SATA does not work it seems, so would my only option left be to get an external drive enclosure with RAID integrated (Orico 3529rus3)? This I would connect to the SATAII port with a eSATA adapter cable.


    What do you think is the best way to add 2 to 4 hard drives?

  • Esata port? Isnt there at mine. The only way is to use sata 22pin and ide 44 pin. Or external via USB

  • I got very good writing speeds with a wd red drive on data 22 pins but not 133

  • Sorry cross post.
    That's something to try, don't know how that will perform. For a raid mirror will be enough I think.

  • I tried a ssd card in this slot and didn't work. I think because the slot has no data controller, and the ssd card also not. Only newer netbook notebooks have them I quess.
    That card says it is a sata controller. On eBay are cheaper versions like this, also with 22pin sata. Maybe is that something?

  • Really really nice build. I was looking for one of those thin clients for OMV. Small, compact, silent. I would consider building something similar as a backup for my current OMV build.

    you can do that cheaper if you use the OMV backup function in combination with a hard drive.


    i do that with a 3 tb hard disk that i can store off site

  • The problem is the pci port whitelist of your computer. Many of this brand-pc (HP, Dell, etc) use a whitelist to allow only certain hardware to be installed in the pci-e port (I made the experience with a HP dc 7800). It is hard coded in the bios and although it is possible to modify it, doing so requires a modified Bios.
