Just got a Terramaster F4-423. Is there a smart way to mix ssd and hdds? (alien.top)
 

I just got my first proper nas, and I have a 512Gb ssd lying around. I know setting it up as a raid with regular hdds would be stupid. but is there a configuration that can benefit from the speeds of the ssd? some sort of cache? If so, how?

Considering DIY NAS with 4-Bay DAS and Raspberry Pi or similar - Worth It? (alien.top)
 

Sure, here's a sample Reddit post for your query:

Title: Considering DIY NAS with 4-Bay DAS and Raspberry Pi - Worth It?

Body:

Hi everyone!

I've been exploring options for setting up a NAS at home and stumbled upon the idea of using a 4-bay DAS connected to a Raspberry Pi to create a DIY NAS. I'm drawn to this because of the potentially lower cost compared to buying a ready-made NAS unit. However, I'm curious about the performance and practicality of such a setup.

Here's what I'm considering:

DAS: A 4-bay Direct Attached Storage for the hard drives. Raspberry Pi: Using this as the 'brain' of the NAS. Purpose: Primarily for home use – storing media, personal files, and maybe some light server tasks. Budget: Trying to keep the costs lower than a pre-built NAS so I can focus in getting big quality HDDs

Is this a viable option?

Options for a dock with 4 bays for mass storage HDDs? in c/main@selfhosted.forum

thanks! I see some models that include raid options while others don't. do I need those or those can be done on software?

Options for a dock with 4 bays for mass storage HDDs? (alien.top)
 

I already have a nice couple mini pcs as home servers, not looking for any smart stuff, so options like the Sinologys are way too expensive and would be infreaused, specially any model with 4 bays.

I'm looking for "dumb" enclosures with decent speed transfers that I can plug to my mini pcs. I'm not seeing a lot of options and the ones I'm seeing don't have great reviews. I'm also not looking to use an old pc case wuth a full pc.

What are you guys using?

Or am i doing wrong in ignoring the synology because i don't plan to use any of the extra features they pack?

Cloudflare tunnel zero trust access rules (alien.top)
 

I am testing cloudflare tunnels and they work really well. I just enabled one time pin and it works nicely. I'm trying to bypass it on my local network, I think I'm doing everything correctly but still asking for the one time pin. here's the config screenshots https://imgur.com/a/webTcMU, pretty basic stuff i'd say!
