Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I went with the Seagate Exos X20. That was three months ago, and so far so good. A lot of reviews said it was super noisy, but I haven’t noticed much difference between it and other hard drives. It’s a bit more noisy when it spins up, but then it’s fine.
It just sits in a server at my in laws’ house and backs up the RAID array at my house, so it’s basically always writing data, but at throttled network speeds (~2MBps).
I have 5 in a Jonsbo N2 itx case and the drives are barely audible, really pleased with them. Well worth the cost at $270 or less. Don’t spend more than that, worth waiting for deals if you can. I walked out the door at $220 each last year, been up 24/7 (with a UPS) and no issues. Would recommend.
I have 5 WD red pro 16tb in another itx case (N1) and those fuckers are loud despite using the same backplane + rubber slide mount system and a heavier chassis.
That's what I'm going with I guess. Thanks
