  • Well the maximum size of an M-Disc Blu-ray is 100GB so I would have to write 10-30 of them… that would be pretty annoying 😅

  • Hey guys,

    I am currently thinking a lot about backung up my Server with Storage and things like my Vaultwarden.

    As I want something pretty reliable I thought about getting a tapeloader.

    What would be the most cost efficient solution there?

    Efficiency Alternative for Corsair RM550X in Home Server
  • Its around 30 cent currently cause I have a good contract.

    During summer everything is fine cause my photovoltaic system produces almost all of the energy needed.

    Have to go more detailed into planning there. Maybe a good Gold+ is the key here.

    Efficiency Alternative for Corsair RM550X in Home Server
  • The cost will be at about 400 euros with a Celeron CPU, if the PSU is not 200 Euros alone :D

    I aim for maximum efficiency as electricity is pretty expensive in Europe and a replacement for my Zimaboard, which will be used for testing then, because I want to switch from my old Synology to TrueNAS Scale.

    The goal is to get an idle power draw of 10-20W (HDDs excluded)

  • I aim to build a new homeserver lately.

    Upon researching I found the RM550X by Corsair as a power efficient option under low loads.

    The sad part is, that its available nowhere.

    Does someone know a valid alternative, that does not cost more than the whole build?
