Anyone did a lower power build?

These custom build NAS are cheap but most of the recommendations revolve around using ATX PSU which are not efficient at idle power.

My main Alder Lake rig is 50W idle and I have a 80plus Bronze 650W PSU.
50W @ 55sen tier means this thing will consume Rm240 of electricity per year if left to run for 24/7

A DS420 consumes almost 5x less.

I got i3-10100 with single M.2, 1 7200rpm HDD and 1 SATA SSD. Consumes 20ish watts idle with FSP 450W SFX. Higher end boards consume more power.

How many SATA ports you need?

20w at the wall right?
I only need around 4 ports. Pretty much most motherboards will work i think.

Taiwanese hardware vendor QNAP warns most of its Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices are impacted by a high severity Linux vulnerability dubbed 'Dirty Pipe' that allows attackers with local access to gain root privileges.

"Currently there is no mitigation available for this vulnerability. We recommend users to check back and install security updates as soon as they become available."

Customers who have Internet-exposed NAS devices should take the following measures to defend from attacks:

Disable the Port Forwarding function of the router: Go to the management interface of your router, check the Virtual Server, NAT, or Port Forwarding settings, and disable the port forwarding setting of NAS management service port (port 8080 and 433 by default).
Disable the UPnP function of the QNAP NAS: Go to myQNAPcloud on the QTS menu, click the "Auto Router Configuration," and unselect "Enable UPnP Port forwarding."

Anyone using Cloud Sync on DSM 7 ?

Just notice I couldn't do the setting due to stuck cannot put entry on path   

I'm using it.
I select local path: main-folder/cloud-folder/
Remote path: root folder

Upgraded my NAS.

Core i3-12100
Noctua NH-L12S
Asus Prime Z690M-Plus D4
Crucial 8GB DDR4-2400 (3200C16) X2

Still country mile faster than any branded NAS.

So fast you want to go where?

Which OS you using for the build? Got running any dockers?

need advice

i have a apple time capsule lying around with 3tb storage, can i use it as a NAS storage

so that my windows machine and Android TV have access to it over ethernet

  Never experience it but see from the built can try to use Bonjour app on Windows machine to access it, yet for Android no info...

It may works if you kept it in Apple Eco-system 

Finally Drive client v3 released for mobile phone. Still in beta though but so far all usable.

Problem I encounter is the app takes long time to load thumbnail. Also the usual "press back again to exit" sometimes not working.

Is it more stable now... login via Quick Connect ID is it 

Previously v2.5 the Sync Tasks sometimes will fail to complete the sync. I have to delete the task and create the task again. Got 1 time it wiped out all the files in sync folder in my phone, and it show there's no files in the Drive. Luckily in NAS the files is still there, after re-create the task it sync those files back to my phone. So far with v3.0 I haven't encounter such issue, and no fail sync yet. I didn't use QuickConnect, only use VPN.

  same encounter last time so stop using it 

had disable the QuickConnect too    using VPN not yet go thru... you means VPN setting inside DSM is it
