You can also use external hard drives on the USB ports to extend your storage space even more even when your computer does not have more slots for internal hard drives.
because my bios was so old that it did not have uefi, i had to format another drive i had laying around and put omv on that via the installation, as booting from usb was not an option. on the first boot it showed an ip address like in this video at 4:47 but when I went to the ip address it said that the page could not be found tried restarting the nas and it now does not show an ip address and this whole time i have not been able to log in, when i try to it basically just refreshes and tells me to put in a login again
hello everyone, I have a problem in the step where you have to enter the password to access the server at 8:47, the command prop doesn't let me enter the password, and not even from the server. Could I have done something wrong? is it a problem with my computer?.
I spent a lot of time exploring this possibility and now I can say with certainty that merging disks in this way does not give any positive result. If I cannot copy large files to the created pool, then this is a useless thing. If one disk becomes full, the system does not transfer files to another disk in this pool. You can merge disks of any size through Software RAID, and only in this case the files will be automatically transferred from one disk to another. All you need to do is create a RAID Stripe. Thank you for your hard work anyway.
For General home use will an external hard drive just be better? I just want a simple way to backup photos and videos and I do have a bunch of old pcs laying around that still work fine. Wondering if I should just take out the hdd and put them into an external case or build one of these NAS systems
I just discovered you for the first time and this video is great, but I have a question, can you also make a video on how to install an app on it so that we can see it from windows? if you please
Hi I am quite inspired by your video and looking to build my own NAS with old hard drives. I have 1 Seagate desktop HDD, 1 Toshiba Disk Drive Cyl (8455MB) and 1 external HD (WD 1TB) and want to use this to build NAS server. I intend to use old / refurbished Desktop for the NAS server. I am novice in hardware. Please let me know the step-by-step procedure
Thank you for your effort I hope to have answer for my question I have lenovo q180 can I use it as NAS with additional HDD connected with USB? or I must have pc same you use in this video? I hope to have answer soon Thanks
Access to the Internet is not required to really build this system; Just to download the software and update it when needed. You could firewall (and should) the NAS off of the Internet (no direct access from Internet to the NAS).
Can this be set up to be accessed by a mac as well? I have both and need to be able to access the pool and read/write to it from both platforms. Thanks!
Hmm.. I had an easy quest to set out for, but surprisingly I came up empty-handed. What would you say is the most cost-efficient way (in terms of hardware) to get a large amount of 2.5" SATA hard disks into a RAID pool? I have nineteen 1TB drives sitting around, I'm probably looking at using 8 to 12 of them in an array. What would you do if sheer speed wasn't of any concern at all?
how the hell people manage to find so many hdd? The NAS itself is always the least expensive part of the build, disks cost too much and are the real problem
Hello sir, I have installed openmediavault as to u said it work properly but after sometime i got error in os thats why i reinstall os in os drive but i don't found my old data in other drives because i can't see drive in file system how i can't add my driver in file system without wiping??
I notice the tutorial uses something referred to as "SMB", is this Samba? if so, I have this service available directly from my router and can attach a NAS drive to it via a simple USB plug but I have been told several times not to use it as Samba is a high security risk. Comments please
Yes SMB is samba. Also a NAS will always be better than the feature of the router because a NAS has a stronger CPU, more RAM and can support more drives
What happens when you fill those 3 hard drives with 1.5TB while your parity drive has only 1TB of space? What if one of those 3 hard drives die but the data isn't saved onto a parity drive?
Parity has to be => largest drive. I don't ever use this method of filesystem design; I prefer ZFS with a Z1 (RAID5) pool. This means you have to have all same size (and type really) of hard drives/ssd/nVME. But your data will be protected. TrueNAS and TrueSCALE supports ZFS. Linux can support it with some effort (manual admin). unRAID I believe has ZFS support now.

Creating a NAS using mystery meat hardware is a recipe for disaster if you are depending on that data you are storing. Even with custom hardware and software you cannot totally depend on a NAS to be 'unbreakable'. This is a hobby project not a Mission Critical setup.
Who would entrust data they depend on on hardware and software that they dont think is reliable? We are not idiots. You sir are just making yourself sound like youre smart. This video is useful and you should be thankful for the added knowledge
@@rockyou9967 exactly!! Just because someone demonstrates how to make a NAS with old hardware doesn't mean anyone else has to. Someone with a decent parts bin could start with some old bits and replace them over time, rather than spending a lot up front for all new gear.
for Dummy Test bench great -- but I am extremely disappointed lack of caution to absence of knowhow that Raiding those older Hards with newer once is Utterly Unprofessional -- Just because you raided data indefinitely will be in a Volatile Environment due to Hard drives Capability Incompatibility --in a simpler Context....almost Unethical that you did not mention this
@@shehan_sa Business needs reliability. There are special kinds of drives that are specifically designed to withstand the vibration from neighboring drives that are used with NAS. They are more expensive, but they are also way more reliable over long term use. Reliability is essential in a mission critical business environment where downtime means loss of reputation that is critical in business relationships. If you are responsible for answering to businesses you service, it will be your head on the chopping block if the NAS goes down and stays down for unacceptable period of time. That will effect your business and your livelihood along with any employees you have.
This is meant for people that have a lot of extra hdd that still usable. Personal preference. Maybe saving your favourite movies or drama series. My old phone data and pictures also can be stored here. Connect to tv or android player. Good enough for me. I have 11 units of 2.5" laptop hdd and looking for this. Already modded few as portable hdd and given to relatives. At least the hdd have a purpose despite being a junk.
@@hadiTHEgreat87 they won’t stay usable for that long if they are really mismatched as excessive wear is placed on some drives compared to others so the software designed to optimise their lifespan cannot function
As a noob this video looks like it gives a comprehensive step by step guide on how to set up a NAS.
Look forward to having a go at it soon.
Cheers👍
Have fun!
Can u do the same with an external hdd?
You can also use external hard drives on the USB ports to extend your storage space even more even when your computer does not have more slots for internal hard drives.
you can shuck em too and get bigger drives often cheaper
This is going to be my next project, thanks for the tutorial!
Cám ơn anh netvn. Thanks adminNETVN. Dễ hiểu và tiết kiệm.
Hi NetVN! Your new videos are always interesting! new learning every you uploaded videos. thank you
Glad you like them!
Thanks this was a great Tutorial for a noob like me.. subbed!
Thanks for the sub!
Great video! Can you also make a tutorial on how to setup Nextcloud on that Openmediavault server?
You are my superhero . i am fan of you.
Comment for every video and you.
Many many thanks
Very cool.
Thanks!
the second choice for Linux usb boot is Balena Etcher, it's create linux bootable very fast !!!

Thank you!
I appreciate your videos very much.
You are welcome!
Thanks for this video really good
Glad you liked it!
Can this be done with an external hdd.
Great video keep this explanation good good
Thanks, will do!
I have watched many NAS implementation videos and to me installing Samba on an Ubuntu Server is much much simpler.
Thank you for knowledge sharing!
Hi NetVM...! as always...your new tutorial video is always make me exiting to learning something new...thanks Bro!

Just start any Linux from USB and you can mount drives and read data. Or install OMV on other drive and mount drives with data.
