We’ll what do you want to do on your server? Why not just get the same one again?
head over to [email protected] and watch any perceived savings evaporate into thin air. along with your spare time.... seriously, its great.
it says on that mediasonic link
Important Note: • For eSata connection: Make sure your eSata port Support port multiplier. Most onboard eSata and some eSata PCI-E card only Support up to 5 drives. To see all 8 hard drives in eSata you need a eSata PCIe card that supports 8 drives.
I'm assuming the enclosure doesn't do any of the raid/array configuration, it just passes data through.
as far as I know only USB and eSata can do port multiplying. I think if you want to get access to all the drives you'll have to get a pcie card to handle the eSata or just use USB3. eSata (6gb/s) is faster than USB3 (5gb/s) and you might actually manage to saturate the connection trying to read or write to 8 drives though one cable.
in your use case both options are less than desirable but esata (if done correctly) could be faster. USB3 will probably be fine unless you really need that extra gb/s of speed
Edit: It looks like sata port multiplying can exist but its not really supported by manufacturers nor required by the standard so hit and miss as to whether a board can handle it.
So… silicon?
just break the screen off. call it a headless sever.
Me: I got a small plex server going to save money compared to steaming....
Narrator: He did not.
But do antivirus really help with that? Is it going to check for open ports and see if the service listening has a strong password?
You can’t program against social engineering or missconfiguration, and because those are the only real vulnerabilities in Linux there’s no need for antivirus.
Yeah i was going to say, you’ve gotta have a girlfriend to cheat on a girlfriend.
This dude is taking pettiness to strange new places.
I think you’re about to find out that the “belief” that Linux doesn’t need antivirus isn’t just held by everyone in this community, it’s held by the whole Linux community. Hence there being no active projects in the space.
Heck you almost don’t need any antivirus in windows anymore. Just windows defender and half a brain when it comes to what you download.
Really? Anything? Do you care what they had for breakfast? Or if they went to the dentist? Would it matter if their partner had a hip replacement?.
I think it was a slow news day wherever the author works.
