This is fantastic: useful, well presented, borderline ASMR. This deserves hundreds of thousands of views.

Can you share what VMs you’re using in your 1u server and some of the specs? A video would be cool too.

Can you run Jellyfin on RS1221+ ?

If you’re pumping hot air into your system won’t it keep kicking on your ac in the summer?

Hello, are the raid controllers necessary? I seen you can run raid one configuration on windows (11) simply place 2 drives and set them as raid 1 in windows... also for double hard drive failure. Buy new hard drives half a year apart and logically thinking its almost impossible them both fail at same time ? As one will have half a year more usage. ? 🤔🤔 unlike when you start new and buy same new hdds turn them on at same time and use for same period. Seems like they should both fail at about similar time in that case

can we Use Third Party NIC like Intel NIC Cards - X540, X520, X550 or X710 ?

Do you have a video of how to connect a computer with sfp to this nas with the sfp card you installed?

How are you handling excessive pressure in your return line when your main unit is not running. The back pressure should cause reverse air flow through your filters if the are upstream of the return box you cut into. Blowing air back through filters could cause filtered particulates to be reintroduced into the home.

nice work, why did you dump your hot air into your return. it's not running all the time so your air can be back feeding into your pickup grill. I think it would be better to dump the heat outside the house, I know that would cost more but your not trying to cool 100 F air when your ac system kicks on causing your ac to work harder and longer.

Thanks a lor for your instructions!

But I want to add a box hepa inline filter too. Figure if I’m gonna have this fan running all day. But really needs to be on the intake into the server closet. Otherwise you’re pulling dust through your rack and over everything. I added crudely a one inch 3m filter to the wall grill. Sealed the door. I wonder if I got a off the shelf hepa 12x12 mounted it in the wall in between the grill intake and the inside of the closet. Would these cloudline fans have enough power to pull or I assume it’s going to start pulling air in from every other tiny hole first. You’d have to put a boost fan attached to the hepa. I wonder about just using positive pressure. Hooking the output into the room that’s hepa filtered and pushing air through the rack and out. As long as you have a easy out with no obstructions air should go that way. Ideally with the room through wall up high and the hepa output low. Put the fan and filter below it with an access panel from the first floor. Good way of moving cool air to the 2nd floor as welll. Oh that’s brilliant.

I have the same setup. But I had a exhaust fan (cheap bathroom fan) exhausting to a close air return post filter. I just threw the duct fan in the middle. I was lazy. 14 ft ceilings. You did it the right way. Arg. Now I’ll have to go back.

What SPF adapter are you using for connecting Sinology RS1221+ to Dream Machine Pro?

I have the same problem. I looked at 5 different solutions, and I was considering this one the most. Seems like such a good idea to reclaim that waste heat while avoiding negative pressure by venting that air outside. However I was concerned about the pressure on the return. Plus I would have to splice the main return hose, no air handler box is reachable from the attic. My solution was ac infinity's airframe t7. I didn't want to vent the hot air into my gaming room, but the closet's other wall is the hallway where the main return is! I vent the hot air out into the hall where it gets sucked up when the central air runs. My only gripe is the noise, even with a quiet noctua fan swap it's still lightly audible from bed on max airflow 6. So far 5/6 speed can keep it below 80f as long as the gaming PC is off.

After going through that much trouble, why not use rigid ducting for maximum airflow? Even semi-rigid flex would be more efficient than whatever slinky style you went with here.

After a year, how is your solution working out? Would you do anything different?

Why are you using RJ 45 to connect your POE switch to your 10GB, instead of going through the SFP port on the POE? Similarly, RJ 45 from POE to UDM instead of interconnecting UDM through 10GB switch with SFP?

I was exactly looking for something like this, THANK YOU MAN! It’s basically a hot spare for RAID 1. I’ve been trying to get a decent 4 bay NAS for the longest time, I’m aiming at making a RAID 5 with 3 disks and a 4th for hot spare but I just can’t dish out the money to start the whole thing. With this strategy I could start with a 2 bay and swap the drives out periodically but wait I have a question: what drive is given the priority to be overwritten in a swap when the 3rd drive has always less data of the other 2 in the RAID 1?

Why would you install this fan if the pipe connects to the return? Isn’t this a waste of money?

Dumping hot air directly into your return while conceptually it makes sense, can create issues for your coil in your air handler. I spoke to my.hvac consultant (who is overseeing my HVAC sub) in my new home I'm building and he said it would be far better to vent this warm air into a main hallway or near an air return vent, but ducting into your existing system will mean less return air is now being pulled out of other locations of the house because you're forcing 200cfm of new air into your return. It may work ok, but depending on the situation you could really mess up the balancing of your home.

No comment about the filter in the grill. I am sure I saw one, right.

is there a reason that you did no use iSCSI instead?

I'm having the issue where the cool air from indoors is exiting the pvc pipes I ran my wires through in the attic.

This is a sick video, love the diagram! Looking to getting a small NAS with a security dvr in a closet so this is hopefully useful. Don’t want to make it too complicated

the sound volume of the music is much louder than the sound of the voice over. i found myself having to turn the volume up and down throughout the video. Annoying.

Why not just exhaust that air out of the room and just into the attic or out your soffit like a bathroom fan

Thank you for this video.

Thanks for the informative video. Instead of Balena Etcher to create one bootable USB, I use Ventoy to drop as many installer ISOs as my USB drive can hold. It's a great tool, open source, and free!

First, turn off the hardware raid. In the Proxmox install you can setup a ZFS mirror for the boot disks. Second, I have my Synology and Proxmox connections setup to use nfs. Why did you choose SMB? As for what I'm running, I have a TrueNAS VM setup with 4 - 10TB drives in a raidz1 that I use to backup my Synology, Netbox and PTRG. Plus some experiments..... =)

Curious. I'm assuming your central AC's blower motor isn't running continuously. How does the inline fan perform when the central AC is not running. I'd imagine the air from the network closet would just slowly make its way out through the other air return lines? It's probably negligible though.

Nice work! I’m also looking into that Synology NAS. You may have just convinced me.

wow proper firepath for cabling in a residence :O former ICT tech?

Why do you have to swap drives monthly? (Interesting video tho)

Thanks for the video Joe, I really like it, my 2 cents will be that the music is a little bit too laud ... like your voice is 30% but the music plays at 80% ... and since youtube don't have a separate volume control, it force you to manually adjusted , during the replay of the video.( Notice that you enunciate perfectly and since I am not a native English speaker your video is great) Thanks a lot.

I installed Promox on a Dell R520 and run a variety of VMs on it. Most notably several MineOS VMs for my kids to host their own MC servers.

What are use case scenario for this, as the specifications are low.

Unnecessary music.

Wow stumbled on this..your production quality and edit is awesome and I hope u continue to dish out some new content for the tech community . Btw I am your new subscriber...cheers mate

Здравствуйте, proxmox ставить лушче на уже установленную систему Linux, или сразу на железо?

Just the info I was looking for.......well done!

Why not just use raidz in Proxmox as you really shouldn't run ZFS on a hardware raid.

Cool 😎

I understand none of this but really enjoy your videos and excellent presentation skills.

Nice video. just what i was looking for but the music was great. Who is the artist?

Proxmox for the president! :)

There's more potential here. Get brushpanels to cleanly route cables through your rack and shorter cables to connect devices right on top of each other.

In today's world of Russian Hackers and alike I'd say the "safest" is to have your critical, can't live without it, data stored as *snapshots* and backed up in multiple locations including cloud and mirrored NAS locations and encrypted as needed. Add security like 2FA wherever possible and complex strong single use individual passwords for every instance and account. IMHO don't use password managers. In my case for home it's a Synology NAS (m.2 RAID 1 cache + RAID 6 with a hot swap drive installed), paid Google drive, and a mirrored Synology NAS with snapshots off premises. My super critical data is air gapped on a pair of thumb drives. My thoughts .. change federal and international laws and make some hacking offenses capital crimes and treatment as terrorism.

I fast-forwarded back and forth twice and I didn't' see the reason for of that. All you had to do is move your UDM Pro (take a look into pfSense) and the switch above it up one notch (1U). Personally, all my equipment is completely hidden and my NAS / camera switches are in a completely separate location.

this is a really bad idea and lot of misinformation. 1) when the raid is rebuilding its putting alot of stress on the disks in the array. you are not saving or spreading 'wear' or 'tear'. in most cheap arrays when you insert a disk it does a full rebuild on the new disk and not just rebuilding the missing data. repeatedly rebuilding a disk in array will significantly reduce its lifespan 2) chance of errors results in catastrophic failure. if a user mistakenly inserts the drives in the wrong order the backup drive could be the data that gets mirrored completely wiping out weeks or months of data 3) when the rebuild is happening you are increasing the stress and the RAID is in a degraded state. depending on the amount of data this can take hours to days. this mean every time you are doing this you are risking a subsequent disk failure during the rebuild resulting in complete data loss if you want a third disk, the best option is to put that disk in another system (preferably offsite) and use snapshots to replicate the data from your array.

Wow! So much great information and very well presented!
