Andreas Bulling<p>While looking for new hardware for our home server (a 19'' mini rack server is very tempting...), I just came across project <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/minirack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>minirack</span></a></p><p>10" rack server builds using a mix of off-the-shelf commercial and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3dprinted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dprinted</span></a> mounts, panels, frontplates etc.</p><p>Looks interesting (and the mini racks are also rather cute).<br>Maybe interesting to some of you.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/geerlingguy/mini-rack" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/geerlingguy/mini-ra</span><span class="invisible">ck</span></a><br><a href="https://mini-rack.jeffgeerling.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">mini-rack.jeffgeerling.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homeautomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homeautomation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/smarthome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smarthome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rackserver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rackserver</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/raspberrypi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>raspberrypi</span></a></p>
Perry<p>So there seem to be 28TB <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HDDs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HDDs</span></a> available already.. And here I was surprised that I could pick up a 24TB disk after thinking 22TB was the largest you could buy.</p><p>I know that there's those SMR 32TB drives as well but I want to stick with CMR for the new <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NAS</span></a>. </p><p>Now having 3 of them means I can setup my new <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/unraid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unraid</span></a> parity (at 2 disks) and have a single data disk for the pool. Also being that I'm using 28TB disks I should have close to a 220TB raw pool once I'm done adding all 10 disks.</p><p>I also picked up 2 4TB NVMe drives for the cache pool that I'll run in mirrored mode, so the new server should have a decent amount of throughput. I'll stick in the 10Gbe ethernet adapter I saved from my old Threadripper system but that means I might need another switch in the office that provides 10Gbe RJ45 😅</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosted</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/rackserver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rackserver</span></a></p>
