QUOTE(mintgadget @ Oct 14 2013, 05:13 PM) I would personally recommend a mac mini if you have the budget otherwise and Intel NUC is ideal too. There is this Lenovo Q190 too which has a very small footprint to be placed near to the TV>. |

QUOTE(qwerty79 @ Jan 7 2014, 02:01 PM) If N40L for RM800 is okay or expensive? Only the server, no kboard and dvd-rom. i'm running 1x1TB (OS), 2x 2TB Green 24x7, i remember the measurement was around 32w-35wActually planning to buy dlink NAS (320l or 327L) but after reading some of the comment in this thread, specially with streaming HD movies, thinking of add more to my budget and get this micro server. I read some where that total load for this server only <20w. The complete package shud come with a dvdrom too. I have mine and its left behind collecting dust, anyone wants it?? |

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Jan 8 2014, 12:12 AM) *cut* haha..yeah u are right.. its used for mainly as a torrent box, VM, media storage and a few background tasks.. Wah, you're underutilising your Microserver man.  Yeah, I have 2 DVDROMs. With USB thumbdrives, DVDROMs nowadays redundant.  But I still prefer this over the Synology to be honest.. like you say, endless possibilities on this MicroserverQUOTE(wildwestgoh @ Jan 8 2014, 09:26 AM) Wow, such a waste, mind sell me cheap cheap? Ok, RM50/-, take it?? Maybe we can discuss this further in PM.  Anyway, regards the Microserver, can the DVD-ROM be made into another drive bay? (Use normal SATA HDD/SSD) If not mistaken the drive bay still retain the 5.25" for N54L, the latest Gen8 seems to use the slim DVD drive, saw it at HP website. yes, i think most microserver users here already converted the 5.25 optical bay into the 5th HDD slot.. see mine :  |

but none of the Synology or Qnap supports more than 20 cam in a single unit..even 1513+ and 1813+ can only acc. max of 20 IP Cams only.. gonna be a costly route.

QUOTE(CocoMonGo @ Jan 16 2014, 09:44 AM) You do not need to get WD Red specifically. Everyone used WD Green in their N36L and N40L for years before the Reds came to market. I have been using Green and I leave mine on 24/7 without issue echo..mine 2TB Green has been on 24x7 almost 20 mths ago.. Planning to get a 4TB in soon.. |

if you (like me) don't RAID the drives it is OK.. more so the Greens that I have right now are actually used for torrent 24x7 .. just to let everyone gauge how far can these Green drive goes...

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Jan 18 2014, 12:16 PM) I believe Green drives are ok for NAS that are not in RAID setup. I only dislike them because they are slow. Very evident if you use in desktop PC. I assume the enclusre connects to the N36L eSata port? Is the eSata enclosure RAID/NON-RAID? How's the transfer speed in/out of the eSata enclosure like?Anyway, before NAS drives like WD Red, I used Samsung F4E 2TB. I have 8 of them (4 in my other N36L and 4 in a an eSATA encosure). I could have also gone with Hitachi drives but they were not available locally. |

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Jan 18 2014, 01:38 PM) No. Not from the N36L eSATA port because the N36L eSATA port is not Port Multiplier aware. Tks for sharing, especially on the eSata port multiplier bit! I did intend to use it that way before this, but I guess with my usage, having 5 unraid storage drives is more than enuf.. I have to use the pcie now for USB 3.0 port as the onboard LAN port got fried recently during a thunderstorm.. have to find a usb3.0 gigabit lan adapter soon.I installed the PCIE x1 eSATA RAID card and connected the external box to it. It's running RAID. The transfer rate is fast. Just like if it's connected to the internal SATA. But then if I did something more complicated other than transfer files like unZIP or unRAR to that RAID volume in the eSATA enclosure, it will hang ! I think there is a bug somewhere in the RAID card. I transferred TB of files with no problems. Anyway, that external enclosure is down at the moment. I suspect it's the PSU. My contractor had to switch off the mains because had to do some electrical work and I suspect the off / on /off / on stressed the PSU.  |

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Jan 18 2014, 11:27 PM) Why don't get a HP NC360T PCIe x4 dual GBit network card, mod it to PCIe x1 and install it in the PCIe x4 slot meant for Remote Access Card? do you mean slot that into PCIe x16? I don't think N40L has a x4 slot.. Dual port GB card is expensive, and it is hard to find over here. So cheapest route is to get a PCIe usb3 card + a USB3 gigabit adaptor, all in about RM150 ~ .. just need to worry whether they are low profile or not..This post has been edited by numbertwo: Jan 19 2014, 01:35 AM |
