Currently my NAS runs TrueNAS and pretty much just serves files. I guess I could run a Nextcloud container on TrueNAS, but I'm thinking I may get better performance with it running on a more robust machine.
Check out Helper Scripts. These make getting LXCs up and running super easy. This was built by a community member who recently passed away and he turned it over to the community before his passing. Its a great project!
I forgot about the gesture to pull down the notification bar. The was far superior. I could reach in to my pocket and have the phone unlocked before I even see the screen
agreed! being able to unlock the phone while im pulling it out of my pocket was great. But the one place that fails is a phone sitting on a surface. i say give me two sensors! One one on the back and one under screen
I struggle to find a motherboard and separate CPU that gives me better value that this. Neither of these are perfect but I think that offer plenty for my use as a NAS.
I'm very happy with my current N5105 board that I linked, even though it doesn't have any PCI slots. With 6 SATA and two M.2s I should be ok. If necessary I can add a 6 SATA M.2 adapter to get up to 12, which is definitely more than I need. If/when I get 10gbe I would have to upgrade either of these to get those speeds. Although a M.2 PCI riser with a 10gbe card would get me ~7gb so that is also an option.
Any thoughts on these two boards? I don't see any real disadvantages to the N100 board when compared to the N5105.
I will be running Truenas scale with ZFS, so will be installing 32GB of memory.
I realize a full size PCI slot would be better, but not really necessary for my application. Both have 6 SATA and two M.2s. I could put a 6 SATA/M.2 adapter in when I need more HDs. I'm really just comparing these two, and I don't really see any disadvantages to the N100 board.
