Damn. Ethernet is indeed your bottleneck there. I love your rack but I’d go more for a higher storage configuration.
With B2 offsite backup.

Shopping aliexpress most are 2.5 drives. I get that they’re lower power but 3.5 drives offer much more storage…
I’m most impressed by the printed rackmount SFF mounts. Great idea.
3·3 hours agoThis specifically depends on what you want to run.
I’d say grab any unused PC in your home or off the street and it’ll work. Raspberry Pi are good for low wattage so it’s not expensive to run 24/7/365.
The electricity savings would pay for itself over time vs a 10 year old random desktop.
Why not use the old one with firefox ESR?
I have a peer that manages his father’s IT needs.
He setup loads of server stuff there with an IPSEC tunnel to home so he does cross backup back between the sites. He’ll setup something like a game server at the office on a VM mapped to an obscure port then a registered domain so the family can game together. Fun stuff.
He doesn’t charge his dad for IT needs. They just expense all the server stuff to the business along with a secure location (building has proper physical security) with managed AC for his heavier 24/7 server needs. He can also order decent gear for the rack.
