Since you're here: the bot isn't working because lemmy.world is having a lot of federation issues and almost non of the posts here are reaching my instance for the bot to respond. I put an update at the bottom of this post. I can't do anything about this until lemmy.world fixes it. feel free to make your own FlagWaverBot on lemmy.world using the source code though.

Nuked my lemmy by accident so using a different account.

No. I meant 3.5" your original post listed >= 4 3.5" bays.

Sorry I figured that out after posting but couldn't edit.

I was hoping to get about 18TB in RAID but really I should probably just built a dedicated NAS with some new drives not crappy used ones anyway. I found a listing for 3TB SAS HDDs for £9 each, probably really bad drives though.

I have an r510 as a trunas server. It uses well over a 100 watts, so I can at least provide you that info. Haha.

I'll have to think about that. It's cost more to run the server for a few months that to buy the thing if it uses too much power.

You're probably right. But it still needs a bit of power because I'm going to do satellite image processing with it, and that needs about 40GB of RAM for the process and a lot of CPU.
I'm probably thinking server first usage seconds a bit too much here.

Oops I nuked my lemmy instance. see this post instead. I can't see comments here anymore
