The neverending discussion about pasta, olive oil and just putting enough water... 10g salt, 100g pasta, at least 1L water e basta così ! No oil or you ruin the pasta/sauce synergy. 😃 (lemmings.world)

Save the rest of water to make risotto next day.

Can I build a NAS out of a desktop? [Request]

n00b question, sorry. If I had a desktop that could hold 4 HD and 2 SSD, could I turn it into a NAS? Could someone point me in the right direction if this makes sense?

Some ppl pointed out you can. NAS it’s just a tiny computer with a dedicated enclosure running 24/7 with a lot of services running to do multiple things because…is running 24/7! Is you just want to upload some files for a backup is better an external HDD through USB. Connect, upload, disconnect.

If you want your computer do more things you have to check how the computer handle these services by software or hardware(hardware better) A list of questions:

It support aspm (yes/not)

It support virtualization.

BIOS come with a dedicated raid chip

How many video codecs the processor/iGPU can decode

Ethernet port is, at least, gigabit

RAM is >4GB

You’re willing to spend time configuring and taking care of the thing

If a few of questions, or all, are NO I think it’s better to invest in an external USB HDD case.
