My expensive big-name NAS (the brand you're comparing to) does have very user friendly software for NAS, computer and phone Just a few clicks and it all works
Comment from : @HenriZwols

Big like a Fritzbox, need a Case for wall mount and it could be a good solution for the broad mass

How long did it take to set this up?
Comment from : @CedWii360

I've just received mine time to set this sucker up
Comment from : @Esau-m79

Yeah, yet using Google drive , enables me to chat with Gemini on documents on drive
Comment from : @gamalalashwah8226

But if I sync my data to a private NAS, how are the big companies going to train their AI? Im out
Comment from : @jimhuf8102

can trhis work for mac
Comment from : @TylerVisuals

so, could I theoretically take one of these, fill it with m2/HDD/SSD, and put one in each room, and have an entire-house NAS, or would they all act like independent units that can't manage storage together? If I'm going to do a good NAS at home, I need redundancy and lots of storage

Please speak English next time
Comment from : @MARK-cb9iq

People forget one of the main points is to have your content off site Redundancy and off site an another location are the way to go

Comment from : @Ashleyapples

Everyone saying that they can't offsite like they don't have a familly lmao
Comment from : @fran2911

Yall nvme don’t last forever you have to replace them every couple years
Comment from : @nevermore7310

yeah it's stupid until fire
Comment from : @aeronwolfe7072

Wowsuch a stream of one bad idea after anotherno cloud backup, no nvme bandwidth, higher cost of components to include emmc, a 70$ screwdriver that you can get for like 10$, Supermicro commercialI've stopped watching there
Comment from : @hagif4590

also an interesting thing you can do with them is instead of NVME drives you can install AI accelerators and have 120 TOPS and 32gb built in ram and run some fairly large LLM on them and only use 15watts of power
Comment from : @skrywenko6596

well, you are someone who needs 2TB of storage, you are most likely a professional and $100 per year is affordable Some small businesses may choose to have on site cloud server but I dont believe this is a good solution for a home user I pay peanuts to google for 100GB drive and I get 1TB of onedrive throguh office365
Comment from : @uralmutlu4320

0:32 Really Linus? You couldn't just let him say his lines? Why do you have to mouth the words too? Micromanager? Pride of Authorship?
Comment from : @Voltechs

I ended up buying one and making a cute little case out of wood scraps from a friend This is my second Linux experience and I've been amazed by how easy OMV makes everything I doing think I've had a problem that wasn't caused by me being a dumbassbrbredit: accessing it remotely has been a massive pain in the ass Cannot figure it out
Comment from : @Collin_J

Would love to see a x86 version with sata
Comment from : @StuffTested

I hoped to learn something about making my own NAS, but you made me stop watching the video, because I got tired after the first 20seconds, wow This is not TikTok, no need to be SO EXPRESSIVE and exaggerated
Comment from : @MichaSut

Any guide how to make a cheap NAS for iPhone photo video backup automatically? At home we have 2 iphones, 2 androids and 1 ipad to backup photos I cannot afford Synology NAS products ☹️ …

Comment from : @itzgametimevip1111

I was getting ready to click "Buy", but am SO GLAD you mentioned that it does not support TrueNAS due to being ARM based I'm looking to install something power-friendly like this in my RV running TrueNAS with Syncthing duplicating the data to my server at home via Wireguard VPN over Starlink
Comment from : @HighTechLab

You are great for presentation Great energy and humor
Comment from : @JonesZen4WholeSumLiving2

Can you make one for me? I’m stretched on my knowledge to act on my own?
Comment from : @JonesZen4WholeSumLiving2

yes it is
Comment from : @Raul28153

Why pay for cloud storage, when you can pay 10X more for your own storage? Love these pointless YouTube videos
Comment from : @Retrobit153

i have questions about heat i noticed you run without pads or a heat sink on the ssd's please do share some tidbits on this topicheatyou know, our enemy when it comes to longevity and reliability with ssd
Comment from : @nhojcam

Comment from : @scarypetereater1134

Can i upload my videos on youtube for forever as private to save google photos and drive space??
Comment from : @KanwarBrar1

Not really, I had my house burn down The only files that made it out were the cloud ones
Comment from : @Midwesternreedneck

Nice, but I have Microsoft 365 Family for 6 people for € 65,- per year Which I in part charge to the other users of my subscription That gives us 6TB Onedrive storage and all the other goodies like a full Office Suite, Copilot, Designer, Clipchamp, Teams And no hassle of keeping a device online (With the hassle of being available via a router that does not have a fixed IP) brbrIMO value that is hard to beat
Comment from : @passais

I still want off site backup
Comment from : @mgweir3252

PhotoSync is 5$/montmonth what is he talking about???

This guy is annoying
Comment from : @davidpuckett

Did he lose all his data iagain/i yet?
Comment from : @Fastscripter

switched from photoprism to immich a few months back and couldn't be happier, in case anyone is looking for self-hosted backup solution for your phone's pictures/videos doesn't require the 5 dollar app linus showed here either
Comment from : @tonytwostep_

does iOS support storing to anything other than iCloud?
Comment from : @teddyarmy6769

no shot you got those ssd's @ 165
Comment from : @tomwhite7982

The thing is: I need Office for work (6€/month), so I get additional cloud Storage from microsoft and I need iCloud for my Phone for a large image and video library and some other benefits (10€(month)brIf I really needed additional storage I would just attach an HDD or SSD to my Fritz Router, so why would I need an extra Device thats not "just working"? Also sometimes internet at home does not work due to maintenance etc
Comment from : @VarouEx

It’s FAR more expensive than he’s saying
Comment from : @CosmicGorilla

This I reckon would work well as an offsite back of my main, great idea!
Comment from : @iBoolGuy

Comment from : @nazirulawal5564

I'm currently running OpenMediaVault on a Raspberry Pi 4 8gb Along with plexbrbrI have 2 1tb SSDs attached via a powered USB hub because the Pi doesn't supply enough power to the USB ports to keep the drives mounted continuouslybrbrI backup my phone using an app called Autosync It lets me sync whatever I want Even letting me set restrictions so that only certain files sync So for example I sync the PDF version of comics and Manga I've acquired to my phone without having to keep the individual pages in a separate folderbrYou have to pay like 10 bucks for the different services you sync with like google drive or an SMB server but it's a perpetual license
Comment from : @NyxHunter

Photo sync app is now subscription based 7:50

Raspberry makes awesome machines
Comment from : @johanneskingma

uau! I was thinking of setting up a rapsberry for NAS and doing TimeMachine on the network will this one be able to do it too? That I run them there?
Comment from : @vitorcosta4845

321 backup strategy 3 total locations, 2 on-site, 1 off-site Still useful to have the pay service and also have the local Fires and floods happen
Comment from : @Cuandoman

Except that as configured the NAS would be $130 w/o Hard drives $95 for the processor board w 4GB RAM, and $35 for the NAS kit A little bait and switch Linus Tech?
Comment from : @jrjohnson5336

If your house burns down your nas will be fine & if your nas fails your data will also be fine😂
Comment from : @jackweta

I mean if its your hobby doing stuff like this I would like your idea to move the cloud storage into your home At the moment I'm paying like $3 for 1TB cloud storage monthly If I'm calculating all together I have to run the cloud storage like 6 years or more for a break even point The work with a local storage is also not done finished you have installed it once You sometimes have to update the software on the device or replace something on failure For me its too much administration work in my daily business so I stay on the lazy cloud storage way 🙂
Comment from : @christopherbinder8967

4:00 - and How would I power the SATA drives?
Comment from : @hfgd_gaming

With a 1x 25 Gb/s Ethernet port, you don't even need all those NVMe SSDs
Comment from : @radoslavmatusevicius6143

paying for cloud storage might be stupid Setting up this device which has all its software pre-installed from the Chinese and might be reporting to Chinese Intel Serivces is way stupider I'm so livid that you didn't disclose how impossible it is to replace the pre-loaded software with your own That's the only reason you go with OpenMediaVault right? Because it comes pre-installed
Comment from : @Joe-ff4if

be nice if there was some sort of case/shell for this
Comment from : @CrzyAce

would this be suitable for using it as a home assistant NAS to store the surveillance video recordings from the Frigate addon? I'm trying to increase my storage, i am using the MS-01 as my home assistant machine, which has 25GB lan, would that be enough bandwidth for 9 cameras? they roughly use about 12 to 2gb per hour for each camera 4 use less as i dont need them always recording but a few do and use around 2gb/hr I've looked and looked for info and cant seem to find a concrete answer
Comment from : @JbVest

My offsite backup is a monthly (or so) hard drive swap of encrypted data from my NAS into a safe deposit box at my bank
Comment from : @blazel462

When they offer a Board with 10G Network i'm in!brThis is amazing
Comment from : @Infinity0205

Don't fall for it Always back up your data to the cloud, or you will regret it one day There will be a flood, a burglar who takes the NAS along, a software failure that corrupts the entire NAS, or Ransomware The list goes on Always use the 3-2-1 backup doctrine, which says to put your files in three storage media or two different media types and place one offline site Do this, and you will thank me someday
Comment from : @Joomlaclass

A lot of these prices have jumped in just a matter of months Linus effect?
Comment from : @ayellowbeard

Hmm I disagree If u use 6 Gb flash drive and it is scanned properly it will be secure I always back up on the cloud google too I can get a 2 Terabytes HD (expensive) but worth it

I think this is one of my favorite intros, plus I love Helmut and hat that just show up randomly, rofl

Comment from : @saulcalderon9777

I’m looking for recommendations for a device focused on photo storage as an alternative to paying for cloud services like Apple iCloud or Google Photos Specifically, I need something capable of storing large amounts of pictures while keeping them easily accessible, similar to how these cloud services work br brAre there any plug-and-play devices that fit this need? Or would it be better to invest in a NAS (Network Attached Storage) and navigate the software setup? Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
