Wow, that’s quite something. How often do you water this plant?

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.

My #Storj Server (Intel NUC NUC8i3BEH2) with RAID 5 (QNAP TR-004 4BAY EXP UNIT) is ready for more data! 
, 32GB-RAM and 4G BK-Modem!
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.

How does that QNAP expansion unit connect the NUC? Thunderbolt?
How is the stability of the connection from NUC to QNAP ?
