nas

Hi Forum, Having read Middleman's post about Drobo filing for Chapter 11 Bancruptcy and my desire to one day build my own Linux based NAS, I was wondering what type of NAS (examples below) that others are using with their Hacks and whether the experience has been good or bad when used with a...

So I had and old Macbook that needed a new battery and so my wife tried to replace it while I was out of town and something else happened to go wrong with it at the same time and so after the new battery was put in, it would not power on. To top that of my external backup drive failed also. Any...

Hello Folks, Almost a year ago. I read a forum post on another website of of a guy named xxredxpandaxx modding an old apple XRAID. Essentially Gutting the unit and painstakingly soldering sata through the mother board to allows the caddies to hold SATA drives. It was a great idea and it got me...

This is a strange problem and probably a longshot to find anyone else hitting it, but I could use some ideas if anyone has any. I have an Asus P7P55D-E Pro mobo (with an 8112L networking controller) that was running 10.9 Mavericks for the past few years, no problems. A week ago I upgraded it to...

Ok so many have tried....few have succeeded but I think I have a good plan in place and am off to a good start. The plan is to convert an Xserve Raid to be used as a JBOD/ SAS expander back to a NAS server or Hackintosh raid controller. This will allow me to keep the case and all of the...

Does any one knows how to DIY a server/NAS that is compatible with apple's time machine?? I am using my macbook for studying as well as work. I am currently hooking a 2.5 inch HDD to my laptop so that I can have a time machine back up. But sometime it gets annoying. You didn't plug it firmly...

Hello, I am stuck with sporadic reboots during backup with my 10.10.5 hackintosh. The build runs well (iCloud, Appstore etc seems to work properly even with some error logs in the console) and the system runs properly and smooth until the late crashes that occur only when enabling Time Machine...

So I've grown out of my hard drive and am moving to an SSD. It's only 250 GB while my new NAS will be 10 TB. My old setup is a 750GB Internal HD. It's filled up to about 650GB or so. Obviously this won't fit on a SSD in entirely. Here is the rest of the breakdown: 546.91 GB Home Folder...

I've been building computers for decades, but one peripheral I've never really had an opportunity to use is a NAS box. I'm interested in getting a 4 or 5 bay box and looking for advice. The big players seem to be Netgear, QNAP, Drobo and Synology. I'd be using AFP shares and Time Machine. I'm...

Hey guys I dont know if this is the best place to be asking but I want some advice on building a NAS for the purpose of editing. Need to have a motherboard with 2 Thunderbolt ports (thunderbolt 2 would be handy) looking to put 10 4TB drives in Raid 1+0, so I would like a recommendation on...

Hey Everybody, I need to tell you a small story in order to understand whats going on so here I go... Not so long ago I have purchased my first NAS = Business Storage 4-Bay NAS. Because my Ethernet port downstairs is too far away I want my NAS to connect directly into my Hackintosh using an...

Didn't really want to put this into buying advice, since at the moment I'm not set on what I want to do, but probably the best place for it... So my wife and I (who am I kidding, she's had nothing to do with it!) are renovating our downstairs room to serve as a second living room/man cave...

Anyone heard of a NAS that would run two 1TB disks in RAID0, with a third 2TB disk to do periodic backups of the RAID0 via rsync (or similar)? Is there a term for this configuration already? I could build it myself, but I'd like to keep power and size to a minimum.
