    Great video! Just FYI, Windows now comes with SSH via command line - Putty is still great, but Powershell/CMD SSH is also an option.

    Amazing video! Production was great and you paced through the video well allowing it to be followed easily. I plan to build out one of these using a Pi 4 before diving into building my own NAS. Thank you!

    Thanks! I can now say I have successfully finished my first raspberry pi project 😋 (with a salvaged 80gb hardrive from an old Windows 98 laptop 👀) I was concerned about power since it had a 700ma rating on the HDD, and I don't have a powered USB hub, but I encountered no issues.
    I think I will get myself a 1tb HDD and enjoy the cloud experience 😊 ☁️

    Great video! Since I have about 5 ssd drivers sitting around. Would I be able to use a USB external device to connect all of them to one USB on the PI? I think the software you showed would be able to support all the drivers just finding how to connect them all. Plus finding a case for all the drives. Make it nice and clean.

    I have run a NAS from a 3 B+, I don't recommend it unless in a pinch. Anything below a 4 is going to be a struggle if you want anything above USB 2.0. I personally got tired of the lag in data transfer from my Rpi b3+ and ended up buying a used R720. Sure it's an energy hog, but at less than 100w average its been a great investment with the amount of things I run on it. The Rpi B3+ was a great learning experience, but it couldn't handle the load and I found myself needing to buy more pi's to support the things I wanted to do (not cheap). Granted my R720 isn't cheap either, but I'd rather buy a new drive than another unit and drives.

  • @kristopher1583
    @kristopher1583 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good video, it helped me setup a pi 2b , you're right get a pi 4 for the network connection and that's the plan, I'm just using what I got to know what I need to do when I get that pi 4.

    As an Audio Engineer, I must say that your microphone placement is in the wrong place therefore you're defeating the polar pattern in support of your desired operation.

  • @youmongrel

    Can a pi be both a NAS (following your walkthrough) and a Plex server simultaneously? I have an 8TB WD powered external USB drive with my library on it, but I'm switching to a laptop-only household and still want to provide my family friends with Plex.

    dude. my god. i've been trying to search for an easy tutorial on this for like a week. thank you! I'm pretty new to the NAS world and have a question. Is it possible to connect 2 external drives to the pi and have 1 just be a backup to the other one?

    • @dexterflodstrom9975
      @dexterflodstrom9975 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      This might not be exactly what you're looking for, but look into RAID. It's a system where if one of the drives fail, the other one will take it's place. This prevents the NAS from crashing incase one drive fails.

      You can look at Rsync to achieve that
