The 32TB is SMR, can’t wait to see the first SNO asking for help…

That would be dependent on OS i guess, windows is 8k clusters since bigger than 16TB.
AFAIK
My 20TB 8k cluster runs verry well. it jumped from 5 to 8TB used, in this month.

I believe you can go way up with ext4 and x64bit OS, using 4K format.

For anyone considering a pi 5 node:

Hope its OK to post the vid instead of an image.

can’t accept the concept speaking of durability but… this dude is really steampunked

@vladro please post pictures of your own STORJ rigs and not something you find interesting over the internet.

Do you know some models of cases for NAS style systems, for a mini-ITX mobo and 4 HDD?
I need the most compact form factor, not PC towers with lots of bays, like a Synology form factor.
I searched in all local stores and can’t find any.

nerdatwork · June 30, 2024, 6:42am

Have you looked at Raspberry Pi 5 with a SATA hat ?

snorkel · June 30, 2024, 7:03am

I have the mobo, AsRock N100-mITX. I just need a compact case for it, that can accomodate at least 2 HDD and at max 4 HDD.

snorkel · June 30, 2024, 7:29am

I don’t see where to put 2 big drives.

I have a new video Coming soon, with a pi hat and a shit ton of TB for a pi server please stay tuned

snorkel · June 30, 2024, 9:41am

Nice! That’s what I’m looking for. N2 seems the chosen one.

Ottetal · July 3, 2024, 8:58am

I like the UPS? What Maker/Model is it?
I see only the Huawei FTTH router, and I believe you can’t set port forward on it, so it must be in bridge mode. What’s the other router?

Edit: Ah, I know what that is; it’s a power supply used especialy for video surveillance systems.

HGPlays · July 4, 2024, 6:27pm

Here you go

Maybe the BIGGEST pi STORJ node ever?
