Looking forward to Louis Rossmann’s inevitable video on this.

Actually, no.

For the time being I’m content with my little raspberry pi 5 running debian. I can stream 4K on my home network and that’s all the performance I need for now.

I’m something of an expert myself.

People keep saying the Pi is CPU limited but it hasn’t gotten over 10% between all 4 cores while I’ve been transferring files. 16GB of RAM doesn’t seem very limited to me either. Thanks for the link!

Just getting my feet wet. I have plenty of other uses for a Pi so if the NAS doesn’t work out that’s fine, I’ll get something else. Worst case I’m out $70-ish for the Raxda SATA hat. Something is seemingly not right with my config, I haven’t gotten the Pi to break a sweat yet. Thanks for your input though.

16GB of RAM. I figured it might be overkill but I went all-in anyways.

I don’t know what ARC is and my searches so far haven’t helped. The CPU usage is pretty low, on htop is rarely passes 10%.

Edit: I asked chatGPT what it means, this seems like exactly the setting I was hoping to find. I’ll check it out and post an update.

Edit2: I changed the ARC size to 8GB and it definitely seems to have gotten slower.

I guess the Radxa Penta SATA hat would be considered the controller.

I haven’t seen more than maybe 32MB/s. The transfers I’ve done are all on my local network from my desktop to my NAS which is plugged into my router. I have samba installed, my NAS shows up as a network drive just fine and I’ve just been dragging/dropping on my desktop GUI. Before setting up RAID, when I did this I would get around 200MB/s. The Pi has 16GB of RAM and I’m using less than 1.5GB while making a large transfer from my desktop to the NAS.

5x 8TB HDD at 5400rpm all hooked up to a Radxa Penta SATA hat.

Added an edit to my post.

Total Recall freaked me out pretty good and I saw it when I was like 32

Strap him to some bricks first

There are protests every day in the US.

Printing an enclosure now that will significantly improve the airflow
