Compact-ish NAS cases?

Nugget@lemm.ee to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 24 points –

I'm looking for a suggestion for compact-ish NAS cases. I only have a few drives, 4 at the moment, so I don't need a ton of space. But I'd like to downsize without getting a brand new motherboard and PSU it possible (both are ATX at the moment).

My main requirement is being able to install and uninstall drives without worrying about cable management.

Thanks!

I'm using all these, plus OpenMediaVault as the NAS operating system

Try this in your SMB settings in OMV.

socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536
SO_SNDBUF=65536
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
max xmit = 65535
dead time = 15
min receivefile size = 16384
write cache size = 524288
getwd cache = yes
max connections = 65535
max open files = 65535
min protocol = smb3
max protocol = smb3

It's possibly a hardware limitation. This is my settings

socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
max xmit = 65535
dead time = 15
min receivefile size = 16384
write cache size = 524288
getwd cache = yes
max connections = 65535
max open files = 65535

server multi channel support = yes
allocation roundup size = 1048576
aio max threads = 100
aio read size = 1 
aio write size = 1

server min protocol = SMB3_11
client ipc min protocol = SMB3_11

What's your HDD model?

I've got two of these https://www.amazon.com.au/Seagate-Barracuda-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST8000DM004/dp/B075WYBQXJ

See if seachest is compatible with your drives. I think it's only compatible with Exos.

Also are you running through USB?

Yes all devices are through USB 3

USB inherently has latency issues and protocol overhead. Seems like you're restricted to hardware unfortunately.
