Datto Siris 3 S3P4000 Server (AKA TrueNAS Motherboard Extraction)
My understanding is that the Corsair SF PSUs like the SF600 you have were released initially in 2015 as 80+ Gold, and then a newer model was released in 2018 with Platinum certification. It's easy to get caught out by it: I've been keeping an eye at second-hand ones and a lot of people list them as Platinum rated but the pictures show it's actually the older Gold-rated model.
Thankx, I have a Ep709 from more than 20yr, last day It didn t Start... Nothing, I think its the alimentation...
connect the thundebolt directly to a pc to get 20gb/s, something else i always wanted to try is an infiniband adapter connected with thunderbolt, but currently waiting for the m.2 -> PCIe adapter i also just bought an "Supermicro X10SLH-N6" for just 15€, it has 6x 10gbit on board, but its µATX, i gues it also pretty nice for a nas depending on your setup, if the motherboard area of your nas is build like a 1U server, i gues you were in luck with that board because you just need 1 pcie card anyway
These Intel Celeron chips only have 1 channel memory regardles of two dimms. They just run in serial, but bandwith is the same as with one dimm.
According to Intel's own site the N5095, etc. are dual channel.
@@PeterBrockie Yeah, you're righ. Just checked it. I cofused N5095 for newer N95. My fault.
I've saved thousands with AliExpress! Are you maad!? It's a great, beautiful mess and that's what makes it wonderful!
I upgraded the bios a Dell HP G1 mini with nvme drivers using Tachytelic's instructions and have a 128GB ssd running via an adaptor in the WiFi slot.....
I watched the whole thing and understood everything except: why is it recommended to use xx500 CPU and up and not 14100 for instance? What am I missing? thanks
You need a xx500 (or higher) CPU to use the remote control vPro features. If you don't care about 'em, use anything. Also, the 13500T is specifically mentioned by the board maker as the idea CPU (supports vPro, low TDP, decent core count).
Quick question: I should, in theory, be able to get that cellular adapter for my empty m.2 slot on my laptop and connect to 5G cell towers, provided I get the service, right?
Suprised you didn't mention a 2230 NVME SSD :^)
A standard SDD is not keyed for an A+E wifi slot. It physically won't fit without an adapter.
@@PeterBrockie With an adapter, it will - at least on some PCs. Lots of people do it on WWAN slots on Thinkpads with a B key. I did it on my HP 800 G3 Mini that has an E key M.2 NVME WLAN slot. That's only PCIE x1, so a major bottleneck for an NVME SSD, but it's still faster than a SATA SSD and boots without issues. A RUclipsr by the name of "Hand Me Down Tech" has documented this, just type "ElitDesk Wifi to NVME drive".
Okay, that's a cool fricken board. Hope it lasts you. Only problem you have now is that TrueNAS doesn't support modern hardware lmao
Works on everything I have. Truenas Scale has better hardware support which will only get better over time as they stopped Core feature development.
asus pro
Nearly nothing except limited cases keep data links saturated. It makes no sense most of the time for a device to have any dedicated. Otherwise there'd have been no acceptable purpose to daisy chain many SCSI devices to one H/W port on the connected computer. And that still be a thing long after a burst to or from any one device did saturate the link until it was finished.
Just thought of one exception. For specific data privacy solutions you might want a dedicated link. But that being necessary implies that encrypted internet transmissions is nothing more than placebo.
crazy complex design comparing to modern web cameras
Can you explain to us why ECC is so important and a must for a NAS?
prevent bluescreen
It is not a MUST have, but it is definitely recommended if your board and CPU support it. It helps ensure data integrity by detecting and correcting single-bit memory errors that can occur due to factors like cosmic rays, electromagnetic interference, or hardware defects. It adds an extra layer of protection to your data, reducing the risk of silent data corruption and enhancing overall system reliability.
I wish there were a way to add SATA Express to a newer motherboard - I've got the Gigabyte version of this product which does 100 Watts of power delivery and 10Gbps. It'd be very handy for fast charging a phone or even a laptop.
z170 too
Recently got into working with these discarded DVD duplicator units and repurposing them. They are really cool for specific use cases and can be very cheap if you know where to look.
Great video. Subbed. Only thing missing is SAS NAS support.
Ware did you get your 5 port RAID Controller?
I recently got one of these for like 20 bucks and it's the best monitor I've ever had. No wonder it's so bright and warm, really fun to see what's inside this thing
Damn.. I have already committed to the CWWK/Topton 7940HS 9 SATA port board for my home server, but that last board is definitely impressive, and outperforms it in a lot of areas.
The boards you showed off are perfect and exactly what I was looking for. Right now I am running a 13 year old QNAP rack mount NAS for storage and a separate Haskell based opto plex for Jellyfin with an Intel Arc a310 for transcoding. This board seems like one that I can just combine those two into a single box
I use an A+E to NVME (M) adapter, so I could have another SSD in. Slower than a real B+M, but way faster than SSD via USB.
Hi, thank you for the video. For the fans covering the SAS controller, and Ethernet controller need a thinner fan than the Noctua 40mm, to have enough space to cool. As for the front fan panel, there is ample space to add the Noctua 40mm attached with zip ties, and powered from possibly a single 4pin fan on the board.
my extra M.2 card slot is parallel to the board.. kinda weird might be able to mount something to it lol
Great review mate, very thorough and you had a lot of the same thoughts as me! I just picked up the same N2 in white on the secondhand market with the intent to build something cheap and power efficient for Plex. The allen key is quite weird. Seems to only be needed for 4 screws for the top cover. Every single other screw in the case is phillips... Purchased brand new WD 4x8TB hard drives and one M.2 NVMe drive for OS and caching. I got all other parts secondhand for cheap - Asus H610i Plus D4, i3-12300T, 500W Be Quiet gold rated SFX PSU, so just need some RAM and a cooler which I may just buy new. I admit it's a shame I can't use ECC RAM :( But the cost, efficiency and performance of the i3-12300T for Plex will be amazing. I intend to run a ZFS RAIDZ array, external UPS, and backup all important data to a separate NAS system + cloud storage - so in these ways I am covered for data loss or hardware problems. I have seen some people install additional 40mm case fans on the sides of the case if you get tricky with zip ties, double sided tape and/or drilling your own holes. But I agree it would have been a simple addition from the factory. For low power builds it isn't needed but if you want a beefier >65W CPU, low profile PCIe GPU/RAID/network card etc then you start to want some additional motherboard compartment cooling. It also appears very easy to run a full size 25mm thick fan on the outside of the case. Take the stock fan and both grills out, screw the new 120x25mm fan to the outside of the removable fan bracket, use wire grills on one or both sides as needed to protect the fan blades. It will of course protrude 25mm from the back of the case and look a bit funny, but this is generally no problem unless you are heavily space constrained. You may need to get tricky with the fan cable but it can easily be run in through the PCI bracket area or drill a hole. It should perform much better than the stock fan and in my case I will be ordering a 120mm Arctic P12 Max which is good value, has great static pressure and a very wide RPM range (will plug into mobo rather than HDD backplane so that I can find a suitable fan curve based on HDD or CPU temps). Anyway, I highly recommend the case from what I have seen so far and look forward to completing the build soon!
It's too bad the tradeoff is usually Plex or ECC. If you go AMD, you have worse support in Plex for transcoding, but get ECC (with G Pro APU, a normal G series won't do ECC) or you go Intel and drop ECC. There are some exceptions but they are few and usually either expensive or underpowered. Or both. Haha You can get a W680 motherboard, but they are super expensive and I don't think any ITX boards exist. The N100 can do a decent job at Plex, but with only 4 cores it's kinda crappy for running Plex in a VM. But the N100 doesn't support ECC... Or does it? Some motherboards enable "in-band" ECC where it uses normal RAM, but sets some aside to provide ECC. I did find a cheap N100 board with it enabled for a future video - still testing it out.
@@PeterBrockie Yeah outside of the really expensive or niche server gear you are right. I think the ultimate consumer solution in the N2 case for great CPU performance, ECC, AND transcoding Plex performance is an AMD socket board/Pro CPU/ECC RAM, then utilize a low-profile single slot Intel GPU like the SPARKLE Arc A310 ECO 4GB or suitable NVIDIA GPU (Quadro P or T series low profile cards seem a solid choice for cheap). The problem then of course is that you lose your only PCIe x16 slot on the motherboard which you maybe wanted to use for RAID or NIC cards etc. However if you pick a good board then some have dual NIC, many at least one decent 2.5Gbit NIC, you've got 4 SATA ports on most, and your addition of extra 2 SATA ports on the wifi card is brilliant. Most good modern ITX boards will also have two 2280 M.2 slots, so two SSD's there or you can use one of them with a similar M.2 SATA port expansion card like you used, they make them for 2280 M.2 slots with 5 or 6 SATA ports. Not proper hardware RAID but that's not as important to most consumers doing homelab NAS. My big thing was value, for that I was constrained by what I could find secondhand in my budget. My next big tickbox was efficiency/quiet, so knowing a 12300T is an extremely efficient solution for Plex transcoding and idle power usage as compared to a more powerful, more expensive and more power hungry AMD CPU and separate GPU. For those reasons the Intel chip was a no brainer but if I had the budget and didn't care for extra noise or power use then I'd have gone all out with an AMD CPU, ECC RAM and Intel Arc A310 for the best of both worlds.
Dont forget the google coral!!!
So on the thicker fan. Search google (if you got a 3D printer), and you can find plans for an adapter.
So many errors in this vid. Like only having one ram slot lol. The cpu is single channel why would it have two ram slots
The N5105/N5095 have a max of two memory channels. Source: www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/212328/intel-celeron-processor-n5105-4m-cache-up-to-2-90-ghz/specifications.html Here is a N5105 motherboard with dual RAM slots. I stand by my complaint that they often only put one RAM slot for no reason. :P www.amazon.com/Celeron-Industrial-Motherboard-Threads-Processor/dp/B0CMQW3GXD
4:33 These panel mount NICs are intended to be put in 1L-class desktops such as Dell OptiPlex Micros so that they can be used as low-power and compact routers, servers, etc. Most of those PCs have an expansion slot that the panel mount connector can be attached to.
External gpu
Additionally, Pcie on an mitx uses the cpu lane, which will prevent low c states.
Better that you don't have to pull the whole thing apart to swap out a drive
Hi @PeterBrockie, Thanks for creating the video, it was quite informative. I am currently in the middle of building a NAS and am considering the H670 + 13500T + SSD as the configuration. Can you create a setup video for this Motherboard, how to flash BIOS and configure this board. Thanks.
Thanks for the good explanation. They make GPU adapters for the M2 A/E slot but now we know is single pci lane, not worth it.
is a mobo design possible just to expose all the pcie lanes? surely that's the holy grail. im rocking asrock z87 extreme 4, 32GB ram with i7 4770k or i3 4130, still playing around. 4 hdd and 2 ssds hitting 40 watts with truenas. got 3 PCIe 3.0 x16, 2 PCIe 2.0 x1, 2x sata slots spare. my view is old HW is king as NAS setups. but im still a complete newbie
Yes and no. There are limits on how a CPU can split its lanes out. For example, you generally can't take all x20 lanes of a CPU and split them into 20 x1 slots. However, you can take a x16 slot and add a PCIe splitter to break it out, but they are only made by a few companies and are generally really expensive (especially PCIe 5.0). There are high end desktop boards out there with seemingly more PCIe slots than you should be able to get away with on the desktop and they will usually take the chipset PCIe lanes and run them through a PCIe splitter. So you're already limited to the max link between the CPU and chipset (usually x4 PCIe).
There are m.2 hard drives that will fit that type too. Tried it once on my gaming rig for...reasons. it caught fire and ruined my mb. Luckily I was right there when it happened.
CWWK has a AMD 8845HS embedded version of this. Alth, they are sold out most of the time...
M.2 is regular PCI-E, just in a different format. So you can connect everything there that can be connected to regular PCI-E.
I confused by mini PCI-E because its like M.2
Sometimes people have older mini PCIe cards they need to connect. Plus pretty much all cell modems are mini PCIe with a SIM interface. :D
@@PeterBrockie oh ok thx
you can use the 1x to 16x to install a gpu in a laptop...
Thank you so much!! 🇿🇦
excellent video - I wish there were more like it - subscriber count now +1
Putting a 240mm rad in Sagittarius case might not be possible. It looks like it has not much room left at top and bottom after installing those 2 fans. Rads have top and bottom hubs that protrude over the fan spacing, and especially the hub with tubes coming out of it is tall. I would also like to have a version of it that requires assembly, as it should cut down on shipping fees a lot if the box could be flattened by 50% or more.
Black slot on each CPU could be Optane RAM Module accelerator
Ever thought of swapping out the cam and modernizing the cable?
