@geerlingguy How did the sustained writes go? Because in a different setup with a AMD Ryzen and desktop PSU I'm having problems (after replacing almost everything) with sustained writes and I'm suspecting is because of PSU not delivering enough power via 5V for this drives (Samsung QVO, that you budget 3-5W but they have a top of 5.5W according to Samsung). So test this with more than 500Gb of data to check that the power supply is enough
@geerlingguy This looks awesome, cost/energy-efficient, fast-enough, and I love my RPi5. I am looking to build a new SSD/NVMe NAS. Unforunately I'm still looking for a similar cost (non-ARM) option that can run official Proxmox & TrueNAS.
(Admitedly, I don't really need a big NAS OS, as my current NAS+Homelab is just a Miniforum X500 + 2.5G USB + Mediasonic HFR2-SU3S2 PRORAID 4 with Proxmox serving sshfs to remotes, and mounted as volumes into containers/vm's, but would be fun to try TrueNAS.)
@geerlingguy random question about your nas build: with the ssd bracket attached, are you able to remove the drives (safely) all at once? Or do you have to disassemble the bracket and pull the drives one by one?
@geerlingguy adding this to Watch Later because I'm put off by the massive expense of commercial solutions, the still pretty high costs of home NAS devices, and the power footprint (and risk) of just repurposing old PC hardware. Something like this could not only sit silently on a bookshelf in my office but it also makes for a sort of objet d'art.
