 Tom here from Lawrence system and this true nas mini X plus has 5,282 hours as of this morning before I unplugged it and set it on The table here, which is about 220 days of uptime There's also on my true nas mini e 800 days of uptime This is a follow-up on those two devices because those are two of them that I have in use well one at home and one here at The office that's this one here this video and other videos have all been edited on this device This does have two on-board dual RJ45 10 gigs and it does have an add-in card of the Chelsea IOT 520 so dual SFP plus which I have connected to our XC PNG lab system for some VMs as in a target so I've used ice-caze NFS So I've put some paces on this and of course the uptime on this is not continuous I've kept it up with all the latest versions of true nas and all the different updates and it's worked really well now This specific system has an 8-core Intel C 3758 at 2.2 gigahertz 64 gig of DDR4 and 7 micron 52 10 ion SSDs in here and yes They're only in raid z1. I know there is a People out there probably saying but shouldn't you do read z2 in case there's a failure? And I just don't worry about failures as much because this is being replicated to another true nas system on the regular So between the replication it does locally it also has back plays on there to back up all the videos and anything I find important on here that I worry about losing so this overall has been a solid system and I wanted to do this follow-up talking about both of them because Of course they worked when I first got them and of course after like a week of testing and I do a review That's not as long term people like what happens what fail did it get a lot of dust in it? Did the fans start making noise both of these systems are absolutely as silent from the as the day I got them granted They're not in high dust environments That would be a different problem But there was some dust in here when I took this down off the shelf Which some of you may know it sits back here just in the edge of frame It is still quiet and the fans had some dirt in it, but After blowing it out it really wasn't that much So not too much air movement, but it doesn't really require much to cool these devices So yeah take that for what it's worth now I will admit not on this device, but my other one my Trunas Mini e this is the only failure I really have to report which is the say did I'm going bad now I don't know what the cause was I don't know anything more than the results of that's weird There's a lot of errors on this system and it seems to be related to the boot drive and then I rebooted it And it didn't it told me it couldn't read this anymore and couldn't get the data off it now It was out of warranty I believe I just went ahead and popped in another drive real quick and have it booting off of another one that I happen To have and of course because I back up everything it wasn't a big deal If you do not back up especially because the keys to your drives if depending on the encryption You have set up could be located on here Make sure you have a backup of those if you if I did not have that that would have been a much bigger deal To replace this but my overall on this setup right here is it works really well between the videos I edit on here the Chelsea I owe for the target for the virtual machine storage and NFS and ice cuz he this handles it really well despite not being a Superfast processor, but it certainly meets the needs that well that I have for this particular unit We've recommended these to a lot of small businesses and deployed them as well and same thing in the field We really haven't had any problems with this system at all And I know there's someone out there going well isn't it cheaper just to build one yourself or anything like that I'm like there are deals you can find when you're building it There is things you can do when you have these used matter of fact the system of this replicates to is just another system that we Have that's custom built and it's actually been in service for like six years. It's a pretty old system But I didn't broke don't fix it is kind of How I've been treating it I kind of wondering just how long it'll last it has quite those almost six years of Hours on some of the hard drives that I'm shocked haven't failed For as much use as they see but nonetheless, that's actually one of the beautiful things to me about the way true NAS works You can use exactly the same whether you buy an enterprise system with an SLA from the folks at IX systems You want something really high-end, but then you can have it talking to a free NAS mini And then you can even replicate it again to some custom built hardware that you've tinkered with It's all the same software enterprise level software that's able to run on your home build hardware Or for those of you that go, you know, I don't got time to tinker and build I just want to buy a box that works that I know when I hit update that there's no Quirky issues because of course true NAS is gonna make sure and test hardware that they know and This hardware has survived every update along with the other true NAS Minis that we have without even question updating remotely has never been a big deal and it's only mine I've had no customers who had these say to Dom issues I don't know if any of you have seen this problem before I thought it was strange because generally speaking I Have some old say to Dom's laying around from old systems that are really old and these just don't seem to go bad There's actually not a lot of read right on these boot drives because we always take the data partition and make sure it's pointing at the ZFS array, but overall I'm really happy with this system I just wanted to just follow up video to let people know that hey, it still works as good as it did Of course, it does I guess it should it's not gonna get any faster, but the software to get better So we'll say that software doesn't get better over time true NAS has become a better product Especially now that they're at the u3 update. I just did a video recently on that I've also curated a bunch of my true NAS videos that I'll leave in a playlist for all the new things coming out and of course Anytime you check that link you'll find more on theirs. I'm creating more tutorials for the latest version of true NAS 12 I'll leave links to the previous review videos where I dive a little bit deeper into the hardware if you're curious on this and thanks And thank you for making it to the end of this video if you enjoyed this content Please give it a thumbs up you like to see more content from this channel Hit the subscribe button and the bell icon to hire a sure project head over to laurance systems calm and click on the Hire us button right at the top to help this channel out in other ways There's a join button here for youtube and a patreon page where your support is greatly appreciated For deals discounts and offers check out our affiliate links in the descriptions of all of our videos including a link to our shirt store Where we have a wide variety of shirts and new designs come out well randomly so check back frequently And finally our forums forums that laurance systems comm is where you can have a more in-depth discussion about this video and other tech topics covered on this channel Thank you again, and we look forward to hearing from you in the meantime check out some of our other videos
