Supports up to 4 drives out of the box, 3 if you plan to use the DVD ROM Great for an introduction to homelab/homeserver stuff Low Power (my UPS reported 0 watts at idle)ĭell has a pretty decent 30 Day return policy should you decide it’s not for you Well, that is assuming you can trust your ISP at home.ĭecent CPU with QuickSync and Virtualization Support We can use the VPN to literally do everything I would normally do on the internet without worrying about any data being harvested. After the connection is established, all internet traffic is encrypted and routed through our OpenVPN Server. In the diagram, our Client first connects to Cafe Hotspot, once the connection is establish we connect to our OpenVPN Server all the way at home. This is important because, let’s say I forgot to pay a bill or need to look at some document that contains personal identifiable information (PII), having my own VPN helps me ensure that 1, a spoofed Wifi hotspot or shady hotspot isn’t going to magically get my PII and 2, since I control my VPN I also don’t have to worry about my web crawling being harvested. Well after connecting to the hotspot and using OpenVPN client I can route ALL of my internet traffic through my OpenVPN server at home and it’s entirely encrypted. Let’s say I’m traveling or just working remotely and decide to connect to the hotspot “FBI Surveillance VAN 1” outside of my hotel. So anyway, it didn’t take me an unreasonable amount of time determine that I should just buy Unraid “Pro” again. You really can’t beat the deployment time.

That time includes setting up SMB and NFS shares, CentOS and Windows VMs, OpenVPN, and configuring the array and such. It took me about 3 hours MAYBE to get the Dell T30 setup with Unraid. After getting the CentOS 7 web ui working and a container working, I realized just how lazy I have become and stopped. Originally for this project I considered CentOS 7 and doing all of the leg work to mimic Unraid as closely as possible. While there are other distros that can run off a USB thumb drive, there is just something about Unraid that allows you to go from a basic NAS to a server that can do pretty much everything in a few minutes. Obviously we will be using Unraid as our OS because the T30 has limited drive space and it is important to me that the OS can run from an USB Thumb drive. Hard Drive Configuration (Mine are at least 10 years old)ġTB Toshiba NVME for Virtual Machines (unassigned device)
The 10TB EasyStore White Label drive did not work with the Dell T30, SATA 3.3V Pin issue I tested a Shucked 8TB EasyStore (white label) and it worked with my Dell T30 Using old WD 1TB and 2TB Seagate drives for now SFF 8087 to Right Angle SATA (This will keep you from damaging the SATA connections on the cables when the side panel is closed) $10ģ2GB DDR4 ECC SNPM0VW4C/8G ( ATECH RAM may work I got my RAM from Dell) $30 each The SAS9211-8I works out of the box with Unraid. I would recommend the SAS9211-8I in place of the H310 because no flashing is required for it to work. If you need to know more check Dell’s website. Xeon 1225 v5 4core/4threads 3.3GHz base, 3.7GHz boost clock This thing goes on sale all the time, maybe once a month, so you an have equal opportunity to get one also. We got our Dell T30 on sale for $299, this is the biggest reason why we went with it. It is important understand how we got the Dell T30 to work for us when it isn’t the most ideal server. Let’s dig in! The Dell T30īefore we can talk about the configuration, we really need to lay out the hardware configuration and host operating system. The first being Remote OpenVPN, second being Remote Backup, and the Why’s and other thoughts. Trying to keep length and interests in mind, the reasons “why” we bought a Dell T30 will be towards the bottom and the more gritty details will be towards the top.
This will be a lengthy post about why I went with a Dell T30 instead of something like a Dell R710/720 and what the configuration ended up looking like.
