    OPs request was could they do it with pis. Yes you could. HDD is max 120mbs, with SSD over USB interface you get a lot more even thought its not running on the pcie bus. It is totally functional as long as you aren’t streaming 4k to your TV. And it is more than enough for most people. As a reliable backup solution it works, but best if you use a drive enclosure that is powered, rather than relying on the USB power of the drive adapter.

    You seem irrationally irked about a viable suggestion, to OPs orignal question. Sorry if I triggered your inner nerd 😀

    PS. I’m not talking getting nvme speeds on USB, I’m saying if you use an msata ssd you get tons more bandwidth on USB than HDD


  • I think you missed the part about me saying older Pi, being cheap. Like you can pickup a pi3b for $35 where as I’d have to pay $150-180 for a pi5. People get focused on hardware that is overkill for their needs (especially if you track access and system load). You can probably get a deal on an old thinclient or nuc also. Its good to show people options.

    For example I have a 15 year old arm board with 256mb non expandable RAM. (Dedtined for the garbage dump) with debian It handles music streaming and samba shares perfectly fine with an SSD. And doesn’t even use 50% of the RAM.

    As a counter point you can grab an old Pi for cheap and install OpenMediaVault OS and have all the NAS tools you need managed from a GUI.

    There are Plugins for tons of self hosting options, and GUI docker management for your own add ons. (New versions dumped portainer, in favor of their own GUI tools).

    Pi3 is fine Pi4 would be better. Wattage is between 4-7

    I used to host this way till I found a fanless heatsink case for a ITX board.
    Idle wattage is 15, and 23 for processing heavier tasks





  • If I recall he was more hung up on the consent part, because he was probably a black and white logic thinker. If Teen consent, therefore OK. I think later he made a statement that he had re-thought it, after people argued that a teen saying yes is not consent because they can’t legally consent.
