Consider ODROID

I run TrueNAS on mine

Not gona lie, I’m very tempted it’ll get me lots of Internet points, and definitely a few haters

Thanks. ODROID allows 4 drives with sata, it’s a really nice solution.

You could attach even more with using nvme

Thanks!!

It’s a 10 Euro fan controller, that I’m temporarily using till I can build my own with ESP32

Time for Pakistan to upgrade to and help develop Linux

Very much so, but I do enjoy gross overkill.

I’ll build them into a future case then they won’t be as overkill

The other HDD I have is a WD Gold, it’s definitely the louder of the two, both of them are ~5 years old. Now that I moved the databases off of them, they are quieter than my work laptop, so they don’t bug me.

But oh boy, it really did sound like a train yard at one point.

It’s 3 SATA power cables yes, plugged into the H4+ https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h4-plus/

It looks like a PSU, but it’s actually just a case for the odroid H4+ https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h4-case-type-1/

The one is a Iron Wolf, the other is a WD Gold, both of which are ~5 years old, they were LOUD when I had a database running on them. They are now a lot quieter than my work laptop so they don’t bug me anymore.

Thanks for the advice, I really like these solutions I’ll definitely look into them

Thanks <3

I’m going to go with the Sovol SV06 Plus ACE , I’m a big advocate for Open Source, so anything that requires proprietary software isn’t really an option for me.

I live in a tiny apartment, so my biggest hurdle with getting a 3D printer right now is space.

A lesson I learnt along the way:

HDD’s on your desk are loud AF when you’re constantly writing to a database
Solution: Everything except backups and Media run on SSD’s

That would be amazing thanks, I’ve barely worked with Arduino but I just ordered a starter kit to play around with and learn.

Good point, I found this: Tutorial - How to control a PWM fan with an ESP32 and Home Assistant ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-AZF6udg-Q ) I’m just going to do that but with more fans

Not sure what it would cost, but it would likely cost double just buying a ODROID H4+ and making your own NAS

Same, it feels surreal.

I was typing out in the comments that he should try nextcloud before I finished the video, and towards the end I saw that he was running Nextcloud. Fantastic

The adapters are dirt cheap, buy doezen of them

You’d ultimately be sacrificing battery size for that Aux jack you hardly use. For most that’s not worth it

Resorting to insults really?

3.5mm Aux takes up a shit load of space to connect 4 analog wires. If a phone has Aux it should at the very least be 2.5mm.

It makes no sense to me why you can’t just use an adapter.

More battery > Redundant analog cable most people don’t use anyway.

I might be a idiot as you say, but the people at Fairphone don’t seem to be because they ditched AUX as they should have

Exactly this, that’s a lot of space taken up to connect what 4 analog wires?

That’s insanity when a AUX to Usb-C converter does the job
