Network Attached Storage (NAS)

  planning to build NAS in future kaso kulang pa sa funds. I was thinking if I could buy the hdd first so I could back up mga old files ko. Bili sana ko nung seagate exos medyo nalito lang ko may mga nababasa kasi ko na may model na hindi pwede mabasa pag connected sa direct sa PC parang sa enclosure lang ata siya pwede. ano model po ba dapat kong iwasan. o mag ironwolf pro na lang po ako

  yes, you should start making backups and keep the originals in your main system hangga't wala ka pang nabubuong NAS. Ironwolfs are good for what I am using now. Exos are pretty much identical to Ironwolf only being, can be stacked to one another without limits to how many. better have a read on the Seagate's website about the docs regarding the two models since application varies from one user to another.

  LSI 9207-8i PCIE3.0 6Gbps HBA, plug & play for my Unraid server. walang fiddling required lalo na sa software side.

  it can be connected directly to PC, as long as walang 3.3v yung SATA power. kung meron man, identify the wire corresponding to that 3.3v and cut it out. there gagana na yan. Majority ng mga NAS enclosure na nabibili only uses 5v and 12v power. NC na yung 3.3v sa SATA backplane ng nas enclosure.

  Setup mo ang NAS depende sa dami ng hard drives na gusto mo or plano mo ilagay, mas mabuti kung may casing ka na kasi doon depende yung babagay na SATA expansion (HBA card) na gagamitin mo kung 8-port, 12-port, and so on. Take in consideration SATA ports ng motherboard para sa setup. Mura lang HBA card pero madaling magkamali kung kakapusin ka sa ports, ok lang kung may sosobra para isang PCI-e slot lang ang occupied ng SATA expansion card mo. Take note rin sa PSU connector kung kaya isupport yung dami ng SATA HD na gagamitin baka doon ka naman mabitin.
