Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I see there is a deal on newegg for Synology DS1517. Considering that I want to get a 4 or 5 bay NAS, how worth it is this deal?
I'm still generally debating whether to use a single disk directly attached storage that i already have, or get a NAS. The benefits of NAS as i see it are RAID...

I am planning to set up a home file server or this would be my first so I would be using 5 x 3TB hdds in a 3 way mirror setup. This file server would mostly be for my data backups so data integrity would be the key here.
Since I wanted a windows only solution I had finalized on Stablebit...
The Exploiteers have been having some fun with its Western Digital MyCloud NAS system, and quite possibly have been having fun with your WD MyCloud device or system as well. Its writeup logs not just one or two security issues with the MyCloud systems, but an entire host of security issues. If...
Hello all, I'm trying to build a home NAS, mainly for backing up pictures as well as making occasional back-ups/restore points between windows and mac devices and am unsure what parts I should get and what software is the best to run the NAS. I will be using two 2TB 2.5" drives or two 4TB 3.5"...
Here's one for those of you who hang out in the Server/Storage/VM sections of our forums. Servethehome has a review up for Netgear's new ReadyNAS 4312X, and it looks like they like it. It's tough to blame them. Relatively low cost, 10G NIC's, and lots of upgrade flexibility make this one a...
Does anyone know the deal with the E3-1235L-V5 Xeon availability in the US? It was released Q4'15 but no US retailer seems to sell them. 25W TDP CPU. I want to use it with a Mini-ITX supermicro board for an 8 drive DIY NAS and media server (w/ supermicro PCI-E SATA card). I can't seem to find...
Purchased to use in a NAS that never formulated. There are plenty reviews online regarding this board so I wont go into how capable it is, the features outnumber all the cool things you can do with you fingers and toes. Kingston was nice enough to provide 16gb (2x 8Gb) sticks of ECC RAM at MSRP...

This is the same processor as in the Smach Z handheld, but no indication if it is configured for the full 35w or is reduced. The diagram does indicate some sort of very low profile heatsink/fan assembly...

Hi everyone,
I've wanted to see how well FreeNAS would perform in back to back tests on physical vs. virtual hosts on the same hardware for a while now and finally have all the parts together to do some initial testing. My vision is to have a single box that can do it all for my homelab and...

I thought I'd share this here since I've used bits and pieces of advice from the forum in the past.
I was frustrated with the limitations and cost implications of using commercial ZFS solutions in a high-availability setup. NexentaStor, QuantaStor and Zetavault either had cost or support...
I'm in the process of building out a ZFS file server for three XenServer Hypervisors.
This is in one of the HP Prolait G6 2U chassis with 25*2.5 SAS bays sitting in the front. (2*L5520's + 48GB memory)
These all are hooked up to an LSI HBA (not sure of the model, it's one of 'em that plays nice...
