Hi all, I have for years been slowly building adding drives to my Win10 NAS, seeking a silent HW option as well as simple to understand and recover once SHTF.
My setup today is:
-
Shuttle DS437T Celeron 1037U 1.8 GHz/16GB RAM/Intel SSD - Main unit (chosen for the many USB ports (8) mainly, and fanless design)
-
Windows 10 - OS
-
External 2.5" HDDs of various sizes - Storage
- Storage spaces - Software used like a drive extender (no parity)
My long range plan is to move away from SS to Drivepool to get a more simplified setup in case of SHTF. For this I am planning to use Gnubee's (https://www.crowdsupply.com/gnubee/personal-cloud-1/) for my many 2.5 drives that are damn near silent, and have it be a iSCSI target on OpenMedia vault via a dedicated 100mbit switch. The Shuttle will therefore be a iSCSI initiatior, with drivepool holding it all together.
So my question is:
* Has anyone attempted Drivepool on iSCSI targets ?
- If yes, what was your experience ? What where the pros and the cons?
- What transfer speeds should I expect ?
Thanks!
A
