Gamla eller Nya

After the stand-up firewall, my first project, I had to come up with something to make good use for the rest of the spare parts I had scattered all around.

So I decided to go for a NAS project, and here is the outcome:

• OpenMediaVault Debian based NAS OS
• OS boots from Class 10 SD card in a USB 2.0 port
• Industrial mobo with mini-itx form factor
• Intel T7300 Core 2 Duo CPU
• 3 Gigabit ethernet ports
• 4 SATA ports with 4 SATA disks in RAID 5 (8GB raw capacity so 6GB real capacity)
• Two compact disk cases to hold the 4 disks together and reduce vibrations.
• Mini PSU capable of 450 400Watts but using just 35W in iddle mode.
• 3 different fans with their own speed control to allow reduced noise
• 1GB DDR2 SODIMM RAM in two modules.
• Shelve from IKEA
• Shelve from Leroy -Merlin
• 4 rubber legs to avoid vibration
• Some screws and loctite eveywhere along with black paint to cover some scratches :-P
• Massive fun :-D

Of course it has some more bits but I cannnot recall them all just now.
