NAS HDD Recommendations in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

Seagate drives. Exos if your NAS is in a basement, or regular ironwolfs otherwise.

Most efficient and economic way to store about 20 TB of data in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

Instead of high quality expensive drives, consider more of the medium quality drives with more copies. And HDDs are much cheaper than SSDs at high capacities.

Those data centers need drives that are accessed 24/7 by many users simultaneously. They have perfect operating conditions such as temperature, don’t care as much about noise, etc. That’s not your case.

Consumers need consumer NAS drives, not enterprise drives.

Synology software and applications are way better

For those of you who build your own NAS, what are you willing to buy used? in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

And CPU that is old and power consuming!

Well my Synology DS92+ will be here on Saturday so now I need to get some HDD’s in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

Mechanical hard drive storage has gotten really cheap. Just get Seagate ironwolfs now (or Exos if you don’t care about noise).

Is it 923+ or 920+?

The 3-2-1 rule in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

The 2 in this rule isn’t clear: 2 different media?

Why is it important if it’s DVD & HDD or SSD & HDD?

Can't run a Plex docker-compose file correctly (alien.top)

I don't seem to be able to run the linuxserver Plex docker container correctly. The docker compose file is simple and copied below. The user PUID and group PGID are obtained from /etc/passwd entries or "id -u". The user with PUID and PGID has full permission to /myconfig and /mymovies in the host. I tried various different users, some with admin privileges.

The container runs, but in the PLEX account I don't see any option to find local media. There is a bunch of annoying TV and movie and streaming advertisements/promotions.

What am I doing wrong?

version: "2.1"
services:
  plex:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest
    container_name: plex
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=  1026
      - PGID= 100 
      - VERSION=docker
     volumes:
      - /myconfig:/config
      - /mymovies:/movies
    restart: unless-stopped
