Looking for a 2.5/10g switch with some requirements in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum
[–] TorrentplsZOMG@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Keep in mind, that I won't only do my nas and maybe PC like that. Other PCs in the house should be added as well. CU cabling is easier to get through the house rather than fiber. Also I can't shut the door anymore. With flat cables I still can do so. As mentioned on another comment: Drilling holes isn't an option unfortunately :/

Looking for a 2.5/10g switch with some requirements (alien.top)
 

Hi,

waiting for my 4* 2.5g / 2* SFP+ unmanaged switch. But already needing more 10g ports and somehow would like to go above 4 2.5g Ports. Thinking about this:

  • 4 SFP+ or more
  • 6 or better 8+ 2.5g ports
  • POE is not a requirement
  • Managed is not a requirement but a welcome plus
  • Low power consumption. Under 15W under bit of load would be nice
  • Ideally under 300 Euro for managed and under 150 for unmanaged

I don't think this exists yet. But maybe someone has a tip. Thinking the 2.5g is killing my requirement. Maybe I'll buy a 8* SFP+ switch and add my 4* 2.5g switch via SFP to it for now ... πŸ€”

I'd absolutely get a 6450-24 for my setup, but I really want to go for 2.5g for all wired machines here as I move quiet the data back and forth. Kinda defeats on getting adapters and new hardware for 2.5g cu. On the other side, I might ditch 2.5g and just go directly to 10g if 2.5 is still too expensive.

mine is ~50W and less than $3 USD a month!

Cries in German 0.44 USD per kWh ...

Paying 27,23 USD for my 85W NAS (which I need to bring down badly ...) per month. Waiting for a new bill on solar power on your balcony early 2024. Lookin into buying 800W panels and a battery. Should help bring down the operational cost tremendeously.

Those cpus are more than fine for anything you'd might throw at them. That said - if you get an upgrade for cheap, why not? But nothing I'd say it might be worth hundreds of dollars for forced upgrades.

RMAing a large HDD that has pirated movies/games on it, is it necessary to completely zero the drive? in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

No one will mind. If it lets you sleep better at night, wipe it if possible. They just put it onto a test system, see if it is really broken and throw it into a bin container for recycling.

Worst that can happen is, that someone want's to have your movie collection and restores it off the HDD on a side setup for personal use. No one will forward it to the movie association for legal prosecution!
