That’s a nice plant based storage solution. Looks like a pi 4 that has grown from just a single micro SD to two external hard drives. Interesting how the USB drive adapter cables branch out into two wires. I’m assuming you have root access to this machine? ---

My node: - Orange Pi Pc2 - Armbian OS - 4TB Western Digital USB3 drive - Fiber-to-Cabinet broadband, up to 150Mbit/s (about 30Mbit/s upload) - 1000VA UPS (it’s the black box behind the board) - LEGO sysadmins (doing nothing most of the time, anyway, this setup is rock-solid!) The UPS backs up the board (and few other boards) the Internet router, the wifi router and a network switch. My node can “survive” up to 4 hours without grid power. ![orange-node](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/2X/7/7c936e6d06bfe2fa987c02b05104b4334a2a87af.jpeg) ---

My infrastructure: - NAS based on a Rock64 - 4TB x 2 WD USB3 drives - 2TB x 2 WD USB3 drives - 1000VA UPS - 1 k3s cluster (7 ARM based nodes) ![image](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/2X/3/393a6f7686882b808eda157e773e633c5d82dfdc.jpeg) ---

By 35w Power!!! My goal was to build a small system with lots of disk space and low power consumption. It doesn’t make sense to run a big storage with a lot of HDDs where the power consumption is more than 100w, then the system takes too long to make profit. ---
