OK, time to get serious and research replacing my Synology DSM216+II with an actual honest to god regular old PC #server running #Ubuntu and #ZFS like gh* intended. I am sick and tired of fighting proprietary web interfaces :)
So, can anyone recommend a server (pre-built pleaes. Trust me, I can't build my own) which will ideally let me have 6 disks attached? Bonus points if I can use the super convenient slide in caddys like my current NAS does.
@feoh the HP cube shaped one's work well under Linux, no need for caddie, drives slot right in
@feoh the mount screws are kept in the case for slots not populated, and can just go in finger tight to the drives. It's very neat.
@falken That works! Just as long as I don't need to fuss with rail mount screws and fussy ribbon cables that I will almost CERTAINLY mis-align and bend the pins on, I'm happy :)
