Hi,
I might have to replace my home server due to a hardware failure.
It's a
Tranquil PC unit which I chose because it has accessible disk bays
and runs
pretty quietly. I have been looking at a few options online but most
microservers are sold on their size rather than noise. However, NAS
devices
look like a good option but I'm not sure which of them either run
Linux or
can be easily hacked to do so.
The requirements are:
1) Low power. As low as possible, ideally 20-30W.
2) Quiet. Ideally fanless.
3) SSH access for remote rsync backups.
4) 3TB storage. Ideally I would be able to reuse the 4 existing data
1TB
disks I have in a software RAID5 configuration.
5) Can run Ubuntu or Debian.
Would be nice:
6) Small.
7) USB connection for printer.
I've looked at Synology and ReadyNAS products but any
recommendations would
be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Tony
