They might be cheaper
Northern Europe is cheap too
That's Ireland
Right
For some reason that's called North lol
I should check my Azure bill
I pay about 200 € / month for all the shit I have but I have no clue what I'm paying for the single services
I know that I have about 30 TB in cold storage
But I also have some VMs and some databases
anyways
i want to start with 1 parity disk now
and upgrade to 2 at some point
when i upgrade beyond 4 disks
all my drives are from different batches/sellers so i'm not too worried about them all failing at the same time
i intend to use the HDDs as bulk storage for media library etc
nothing that I can be arsed to back up
not personal media
@porco was QNAP that taiwanese company that built NAS that aren't trash?
I don't know
From my experience of hear say, their servers aren't at least total trash..
convenience
it's for a small company where I'm not onsite
although I could just add an ssh tunnel
and run it all on ubuntu server or smth
Let me shill you some HPE ProLiant MicroServer
it's more generic than your typical NAS since it's a server, but it's smol and has many bays
also not so expensive
you can obtain them with already built in ram and no disks for about 350 eur
sadly, the newer HPE MicroServers don't have ILO included anymore, ILO was nice
ILO is HP's web based hardware / system management tool
it runs on a firmware level so you can access it even if the system doesn't boot
but the newer "budget" HP servers like the MicroServer don't have it anymore
what's the budget anyway? (without disks)
tfw no dual epyc server
i wonder what situation you would need dual epycs
over just GPU accelerated server
posting screenfetch on /g/
I think Lucene / Elastic etc might actually profit from that
