I am building a new house and I am trying to prewire as much as possible. If price was not an object what would you pre-wire? in c/[email protected]

Always a pair of Ethernet, never one. Every other wall in most rooms and all walls in some rooms. Can be used for IR and speakers.

Finally pulled the trigger on a NAS and the rabbit hole is deep! (alien.top)
 

This is my first NAS and I've been waiting, drooling, plotting, and scheming for so long. The stupid Green Sunday deals got me to finally pull the trigger. That... and I plan to backup client 365 data so I might as well get that ball rolling and have some passive income.

I'll also be using this for Time Machine backups, software / data storage, VMs, containers, and who knows what else.

I went with the Synology DS923+. I'm sad about the lack of an Intel chip for transcoding but I will live and figure something else out for that purpose.

My BOM:

Synology DS923+ ($413.63)
Synology 10GbE RJ-45 E10G22-T1-Mini ($109.99)
4 x 16TB Seagate IronWolf Pro $269.99 ($1079.96)
2 x 16GB OWC DDR4 SODIMM non-ECC Memory $48.65 ($97.29)
2 x 2TB Samsung 980 Pro M.2 $129.99 ($259.98)

Ancillary purchase:
Western Digital Elements 16TB USB 3.0 Hard Drive ($209.99)
Ubiquiti Flex XG 10GbE switch ($310)

Good lord I just added it all up $2,480.84. FFS - don't tell my wife!

I have an iMac Pro with built-in 10GbE and a decent Unifi setup so I figured it was time for the Flex XG to join the party. The DS923+, my iMac Pro, and whatever I used next for Plex and Proxmox will all be 10GbE.

Some people are really abusing channel width!

Do I use 2 ports on the router for 1 switch in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Don’t daisy chain them. One line from the main switch (your router) to each additional switch. If your devices support it and you can figure out how to setup LAG (link aggregation) you can combine two links to each switch for more speed but you probably don’t need that.
