I have a media server built in an Apache 1800 case with four 2tb 2.5" ssds in it.

If I where doing this, I would fill a hard case with nvme drives or 2.5" ssds and put 4k remuxes if you're dead set on 4k, or 1080p remuxes, the ones on my server are 6-8 GB. Yes, you can get super high capacity ssds, but they are real expensive. The reason I have 2.5" drives in my box was price. I paid $50 for each one.

Does anyone have an 'Internet-in-a-box' set up on a NAS? in c/[email protected]

I have a small apache case from harbor freight with a LePotato, mini router and a battery in it. I intended it to mainly be a road trip jellyfin/emby server (still deciding on which to fully implement) but I also have kiwix, Audiobookshelf and a simple nginx webpage to make getting to the services easier.

I'm also having a very similar issue. Desktop stopped working over Ethernet, cable works on another desktop as well as a laptop. It usually gets an ipv6 address, even though ipv6 is disabled at the router.

My ISP insisted that my slow download speeds are due to my third party router. This is BS, right? in c/[email protected]

I had this issue with Comcast's Xfinity and my solution was to clone the Mac address of a desktop on the Router.

I tried several desktops/laptops and several routers. All the desktops/laptops got just about full speed. All the routers where pinned at 93.78 or 31.23 for several tests. Cloning the Mac address on the routers that could let the router and devices connected get the full plan speed.

What drives do you all use for NAS? in c/[email protected]

I've got 10 12tb Seagate EXOS drives in operation right now and have also run small capacity (2-4tb) WD Red and blue and Seagate Barracuda drives. For ssds I run Samsung 870 evos.

Thinking about changing the setup in my house from being WiFi only to running ethernet throughout. Is there any reason this setup wouldn't work? More info in comments. in c/[email protected]

I'm running cat8 between my modem, router and main switch. The runs to the satellite mesh units are also cat8. I don't want to ever pull wire to those spots again. I don't regret it one bit. Everything else is cat6 with a couple 5e runs

I've had nothing but bad luck with "recertified" drives or whatever Amazon calls them. One of the five drives I got off Amazon is still working, and that seller no longer exists. Server Parts Deals has been amazing for used drives. There are also discord and Facebook groups for tracking sellers and stuff.
