- tombert 1y agoI've had mixed luck too. The one I'm using now has been mostly ok. https://a.co/d/4AiF1Zp https://a.co/d/4AiF1Zp It actually has been considerably more reliable than the MediaSonics than they replaced.
- c-hendricks 1y agoCan you give a little more details on how the enclosures work? Do you see each drive individually, or does each enclosure show as one "drive" which you then put into a zfs pool. I'm looking to retire my power hungry 4790k server and go with a mini pc + external storage.
- Marsymars 1y agoReplied to another comment with my setup - I use a QNAP JBOD enclosure (TL-D800S) connected to a mini-itx PC. (You do need at least one PCIe slot.) Shows up as 8 drives in the OS, the enclosure has no smarts. I wouldn't do USB-connected enclosures for NAS drives - either SATA via SFF, or Thunderbolt.
- tombert 1y agoIn my case, each drive shows up individually. I create a new vdev encompassing all of them.
- __turbobrew__ 1y agoIve seen a lot of people linking beelink mini PCs lately: https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-me-mini-n150 https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-me-mini-n150 The cost is very low, but it would have to be a nvme only build.
