Compact-ish NAS cases? (lemm.ee)

I'm looking for a suggestion for compact-ish NAS cases. I only have a few drives, 4 at the moment, so I don't need a ton of space. But I'd like to downsize without getting a brand new motherboard and PSU it possible (both are ATX at the moment).

My main requirement is being able to install and uninstall drives without worrying about cable management.

Thanks!

I got an Argon Eon case with a Raspberry Pi 4, but I'm regretting it because for some off reason my file transfer speeds via SMB are abysmal. I do have a heap of services selfhosted on the Pi and otherwise it's okay

Edit: If someone was able to get fast transfer speeds via SMB on a Raspberry Pi, I'd like to know how. If the speeds can be increased, my NAS would be perfect

What software are you using

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I'm using all these, plus OpenMediaVault as the NAS operating system

Try this in your SMB settings in OMV.

socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536
SO_SNDBUF=65536
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
max xmit = 65535
dead time = 15
min receivefile size = 16384
write cache size = 524288
getwd cache = yes
max connections = 65535
max open files = 65535
min protocol = smb3
max protocol = smb3

It's possibly a hardware limitation. This is my settings

socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
max xmit = 65535
dead time = 15
min receivefile size = 16384
write cache size = 524288
getwd cache = yes
max connections = 65535
max open files = 65535

server multi channel support = yes
allocation roundup size = 1048576
aio max threads = 100
aio read size = 1 
aio write size = 1

server min protocol = SMB3_11
client ipc min protocol = SMB3_11

What's your HDD model?

See if seachest is compatible with your drives. I think it's only compatible with Exos.

Also are you running through USB?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes all devices are through USB 3

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

USB inherently has latency issues and protocol overhead. Seems like you're restricted to hardware unfortunately.
