  • Newbie - First Build - Confused by higher than expected idle power

    The power supply is significantly oversized and, despite its Gold Plus certification, inefficient at idle. Using a PicoPSU and a 90-watt external power supply, or an internally installed 100-watt/12V Maenwell power supply, would save more than 5 watts. The Maenwell power supply would cost approximately €15 and the PicoPSU €20. Whether this is worthwhile, I'm not sure.

  • HP t630 as my home NAS

    There are M.2 WLAN ports with SDIO connectivity (like on the Dell Wyse 3040). Only a few WLAN cards work there, and no other adapters. Only the WLAN/BT M.2 ports with PCIe/USB2 connectivity support 2.5 Gbps LAN, SATA adapters for M.2 A+E key cards, and some other devices.

  • SMB extrem langsam

    The motherboard has a Qualcomm® Atheros® KillerTM E2200 Series LAN chip. You'll hardly find a newer driver for it. The board is at least 12 years old and designed for Haswell CPUs (Socket 1150). I hope the network cables aren't just as old. After 12 years, it would be a good idea to clean the LAN port and treat it with contact cleaner. I would also do this with the other ports and connectors on the network. If that doesn't help, I would buy a new PCIe network card for 10 euros.

  • Not loading on new hardware

    CSM/Legacy is not SecureBoot.

    Your very poor image shows the Secure Boot options. I can't see anything about CSM, if anything is even visible at all!

    On modern motherboards, it's often not possible to enable CSM/Legacy. The option simply isn't there anymore! Even on Asrock's ITX boards with J4105/J4125/J5005/J5040 CPUs, this option was no longer available.

  • SMB extrem langsam

    You will not reach the theoretical 8 MB/s. For this, the adapters must be connected to the same phase, the cable length must be small and no distributor must be used. You can be satisfied with 3...4 MB/s in good conditions. With a Fritzbox 6660 and a Fritzrepeater 1200ax you can reach about 50 MB/s via Wifi via 5GHz through a room wall.

  • Upgrade to save electricity

    The N100 only has a single-channel connection to the memory and is slowed down by DDR 4, as with the Asus and Asrock boards. With DDR 5, the memory connection is almost as fast as in an i5-8500 with dual-channel. The N100 can also decode AV1. The Asus board is not good. My Fujitsu esprimo q556/2 with i5-7500T consumes less power in idle than the Asus board with Pico PSU.

  • Choosing hardware for my future NAS

    I had switched off ASPM and the LAN card in the PCIex worked at least when the internal LAN port was switched on and no cable was connected.

    I am now using an ASRock motherboard but with socket 1200 and i3-10100 (4 SATA ports). It's also just the backup NAS. The correct Nas runs on a Fujitsu MiniPC.

    I even tried today with external NIC via USB, and when nothing was plugged in into internal NIC or when NIC was disabled via BIOS, then Pcie x1 slot didn't work

    This is also the case with my Asus. I had a 2.5 GBit Lan card installed in the PCIex slot. Just as I had deactivated the internal LAN, the 2.5 GBit card no longer worked. With a 2.5 GBit Lan card in the WLAN slot, there were no problems with the inner LAN port deactivated. I haven't had the Asus in operation for a long time.

    For the A+E Key (Wlan + BT) m.2 slot, there are also SATA cards with two SATA ports. Maybe it's better to use one in your case.

  • Autoshutdown configuration

    OMV can only implement what the motherboard can do. Check the UEFI/BIOS of the computer to see if the corresponding options for suspend and hibernation are turned on. However, I don't see this as a problem if OMV shuts down the computer completely. In one minute, the computer is booted up again via WOL.

  • OMV 3 boot up error

    An i5-6500 is not too old for OMV 7. OMV 7 runs here on a computer from Fujitsu (Esprimo Q556/2) with i5-7500T and 16 GB RAM. The differences between the i5-6500 and i5-7500 are minimal except for the graphics. The 6th Intel generation already runs with DDR4 Ram. When the computer is 7 years old, the BIOS battery should slowly say goodbye (usually CR2032). I would definitely change them. Normally it lasts 5 years.

    After that, the settings in the BIOS must be renewed.

  • OMV 3 boot up error

    The computer must be very old. Have you ever changed the Bios battery? Have you ever cleaned the inside of the computer? If two RAM bars have been installed, take one out alternately and start. There does not seem to be a backup of the system. Otherwise, there is no point in dealing with such an old system. There is also the note See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guideance. Let's take a look.

    My appraisment: OMV is an highliy unrelaiable system. Very disapointing!

    You will certainly write the same statement in any other NAS forum. You are one of those people who are not willing to read manuals or use the Internet if you have problems. This is or They are disappointing!
