What are you doing with heat? in c/[email protected]

When I had a rack at home, it was a silent one (so almost completely sealed). I had a fat duct coming in from the outside into the bottom of the rack and another fat duct taking the hot air from the top outside. But in winter, I made sure it was blowing that hot air into the living space.

Where is the “offsite” that you keep a second copy? in c/[email protected]

Encrypted disk in my desk drawer at work. Contains everything apart from my movie collection. Many of my colleagues have now copied my approach.

toshiba n300 vs toshiba mg vs exos x18 for NAS (alien.top)
 

I have a choice of 16-20TB disks at these per-TB prices and I can't decide which to buy for a dual bay NAS.

  • toshiba N300 for 20 Euro/TB
  • toshiba MG for 16 Euro/TB
  • seagate EXOS x18 for 17 Euro/TB

Which one of these is the quietest AND most suitable for a NAS?

I am very confused by Toshibas. On paper, MG drive is a much better drive than N300 but somehow it costs more. Why? N300 is supposed to be the NAS one but what makes it a NAS drive? All info info I've found so far paints it in worse light than MG. Exos disk (according to this subreddit) is both the quietest and the loudest of all drives. It's also the best and the worst for tolerating vibration.

What is the cheapest setup that works for your Plex/Jellyfin setup? in c/[email protected]

Because of jellyfin? Mine is restricted to 3GB and runs happily on raspberry pi 4. I've even had it run on 2GB pi4 and it only struggled occasionally.
