Ubuntu 24.04 Desktop with everything running in docker. Remote Desktop to access the GUI

I get 65-70w Idle, but my idle is with 4 x 22tb drives spinning and 3 SSDs connected with SFP+

wow makes me feel good about my DIY NAS that idles 10w more than yours and has 11 storages atached to it plus sfp and a SAS PCI expansion card
 
Decided on UNRAID (I have PROMOX on a SSD just in-case I want to tinker), for my fairly simple 'get up and running as quick as possible' use case it was great, within about 2 hours I was up and running with all my old favourites running in Dockers

Any one else not able to order off Aoostars site? States "unable to ship to your region " :confused:

Only towards the end of the year will it be possible to order to the UK, due to priority being given to sales within the EU and the USA. If it’s very important to you, I can recommend a seller from another source.

Should have updated my post as found another seller/supplier.
 
Anyone have power consumption figures for this NAS idling with all mechanical drives spun down?

My current Terramaster F6-424 Max (i5 - 1235U with 64GB DDR5) draws 24W on idle.
5 x 14TB HDDs
1 x 4TB SSD
2 x 1TB NVME
1 x USB Zigbee Interface

I fancy one a WTR Max, mainly to add some more NVME's and have some NPU hardware for LLMs, but people are suggesting almost double the idle power..

I'm tempted to pick one up to replace an aging Syno. Would you be willing to share the name of that seller? Ty!
 
My current WTR Max is

6 x 16TB HDDs
5 x 1TB NVE SSD
1 x 10 SFP+ 10GigE (second to be added soon for some bonded 10GigE shenanigans)

want me to check my draw?

Yes please, I’m looking into one of these to replace my archaic old one but would like to know base figures for constant power draw

About 60-70W here IIRC. 6x16TB Seagate Enterprise drives, 5x NVMe's, both SFP+ interfaces connected via DACs. Running TrueNAS, Plex, associated stack, Home Assistant and a bunch of other containers.
 
That’s not too bad at all, same drive specs I was looking at too, thanks

Scored a unit from a reseller and aside from a couple of minor hardware issues (one of the bays has a missing/faulty drive power light, 2 of the bays are tricky to get a full 3.5" drive to seat in) I'm quite impressed with everything else.
 
Agreed, mine just sits there and does its thing, no issues with it at all and the performance for my use case is brilliant. Plex transcoding on the AMD GPU barely tickles it.
 
After some jiggery-pokery (and lots of help from Gemini) got smb-multichannel working

Also for a giggle I connected a HBA to AOOSTAR AG01 (egpu) connected via OCULINK, seems to work fine :)

So I've now my AOOSTAR WTR Max connected via the HBA (in the AGO1) to Silverstone SST-CS381B (which I had lying about) to give me another 8 SATA bays. As there is no MOBO in the SST-CS381B there is oodles of space for more drives/sata SSDs.
