  • Interesting, thanks for sharing.

    Any clue what the power draw on the disk array is? I did some basic measurement with the kill-a-watt and a spinner takes about 6-7W where as an SSD takes about 2, the price difference is too much for my use case tho, performance per watt per TB, I’m better off with 1 single disk (or a mirror pair) of 6 TB in spinning rust.

    I’m not particularly concerned about data security since I’m syncing evrything 3 ways. Whenever one of the drive fails I’ll consider it a “surprise disaster recovery exercise” XD











  • My previous experience is with dropbox and onedrive and I tend to limit bandwidth … I want sync to happen in the background. It’s not something I usually consider “high priority”

    I found NC to be a lot more flexible and complete, specially with all the machine learning options. I also appreciate the privacy and price Hosting about 7TB of data for $10 worth of power a month and a $150 investment that allows me to host many other things.

    The web interface in my case is a bit slow initially but that’s mostly because I opted to route it via pangolin reverse proxy / cloud flare tunnels, but I notice once the redis cache DB loads it’s blazing fast.

    Overall I’m pretty happy with the speed, I’m sharing this with a family of 15 and I haven’t heard any complaints yet.
