CatSalad🐈🥗 (D.B.)We don't need to buy a Sun NAS server, we have one at home
The Sun NAS server at home:
Genette B 
@catsalad paired with the Ferrari laptop😂
Stephen Greenham@catsalad Those Acer Ferrari laptops are so cool!!
Karel P Kerezman@catsalad Well that's just delightfully unholy.
Melancholic Mediocrity 
@catsalad nice RAID 1
citrus@catsalad the Ferrari laptop sells it.

mike805@catsalad Given that you can buy 1TB Micro SD cards now, why doesn't someone make a RAID system out of them?
Makuru part of 38C3
Sven@mike805 @catsalad There's these mad devices: https://usb.brando.com/10-x-micro-sd-to-sata-ssd-adapter-raid-quad-2-5-sata-converter_p13939c0046d015.html
10 x micro SD to SATA SSD Adapter & RAID Quad 2.5
This 10 x micro SD to SATA 22-pin converter card is designed to enable 10 micro SD card to be used as a direct replacement for a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive. Once installed, the micro SD appears as an ordinary SATA hard drive to any OS and can be configured as a bootable device. *Available now!*
me·ta·phil, der@catsalad „how do you install it?“ – „Sunny side up.“
Thomas Brand@catsalad I did the same thing with USB Zip drives when I was in college. (The NAS failed quite frequently.)
Greg@catsalad I had one of those very USB drives as conference swag. They were so cheap they were almost lighter than air.
Crushed chillies 🏴☠️🌶@catsalad not bad XD
cappuMUC@catsalad sadly I cannot find the video anymore where the picture is from. It's one of my most loved YouTube classics. ❤️

How to Save the World With ZFS and 12 USB Sticks: 4th Anniversary Video Re-Release Edition
About 4 years ago, a few colleagues and myself got together and we created a short video about the coolness of two of the most innovative products from Sun of the last decade: ZFS and the X4500 Server. Today, nearly 4 years later, the video has been downloaded more than …

stdevel@catsalad Wait, isn’t this a screenshot of this funny „ZFS on USB sticks“ video back from 2012?

Richard Bairwell@catsalad Scary thing is I spent several years in the early 2000s working on a Sun NAS: about 8ft tall, 3ft deep and 12ft long and stored a massive 3Tb...Which is what that zip tied USB monstrosity probably can handle in the size of the SCSI connectors that had to be used.

That sounds very similar to the IBM Dolphin I bought in 1999 for Capital Radio. Had to put it in the basement because it was too heavy to sit anywhere else.

Miles Fidelman@catsalad perhaps a few details - I keep thinking about building a cluster from old cell phones & memory sticks, wondering what it is that you've assembled there - hardware, software, etc!

I Built a RAID of Floppy Disks. Oh no.

@catsalad what is this :mumei_flushed:
Viral Obscurity@catsalad coming soon on Linus Tech Tips
"I built a 2 PB production server from USB sticks, some string, and cello tape"
This is so cursed
Dominik@catsalad Wow, that throws me back in time when I was a junior sysadmin at my first job.

Attached: 1 image hehe looking good. #NoNAS #upcycling #DIY #tinyNAS #reuse
Jim@catsalad I like your Ferrari

@catsalad way faster, more reliable, energy saving and of higher capacity than the 3,5" #Floppy #RAID that @ActionRetro once did.

CheapPontoon@catsalad Neat. How much space is on that?

wayde@catsalad surely the ferrari laptop makes it faster too????

@catsalad I have unironically always wanted to do something like this.

Judicious use of zip ties.
