love that you used 35 cents per kwh in your first example. That's exactly what I'm paying (NY). Definitely need to replace my home servers with something more efficient. Now if I can get that N100 cpu in a desktop chassis so that I can attach 8 hard drives to it.
My video editing NAS is a Lenovo P520 Xeon W-2135 with 64GB DDR3 2933MHz, dual drive cage expansion, and a triple 3.5" to dual 5.25" drive cage, so I can put in up 7 hard drives, 5 NVMe, and a GPU. Just because a CPU has a low TDP max doesn't mean you'll save a noticeable amount of power because the computer idles. We've had low idle current for a very long time. The .
Does it have ANY SATA sockets?
In other words – could you make a NAS out of it?
wait you guys are paying 12cents per kWh in the US? damn
9:06 i see only on sata port, is there any n100 mini pc with more sata ports ?
Now i am using i5 6500 with fujitsu mothere board where i have 5 sata ports and 1 msata. Only using it for home nas, family photos mainly. 1 SSD for TrueNas and 2 HDD raid 1 for storage. Whats bothering me? This sits in old midi tower pc case. And i want some small factor motherboard to for my Thermaltake Element Qi Mini-ITX Case..
Absolutely splendid job ! Using older hardware is not as costly or as bad for the environment as many people think . well done. Also note electricity cost more 60c a kWh in the UK
E-waste is very toxic, very difficult to reprocess and not really cost effective even at scale due to the complex variety of materials and chemicals used. Wasting serviceable hardware IMHO is not a good idea although there is clear utility to a device like this.
why buy or build a server when the isp providers blocked port forwarding it doesn't pay
Do you have a spreadsheet showing how much environment you saved? 😜
only 4 wats LOL thats too much
A different way to say the old system has no cost of manufacturing is by saying it's already sunk or paid for by its first lifespan of use. It's good to do a life cycle analysis like this because it factors out the sunk cost of its previous life.
Stop thinking "in terms of carbon emissions". It is a wrong way to go, I'm sure you can do better. Reason: CO2 is a fuel for plants, CO2 participates in a biological cycle. Contrary to that fossil fuel and rare-earth metals are limited, and their depletion is an order of magnitude more important problem. So instead of "Manufacture CO2" spreadsheet column it's better to calculate non-renewable and hard to recycle chemicals that had been wasted per new unit manufactured. If you start thinking this way you'd lean towards reuse and 2nd-hand hardware even more.
Odroid H3+ SBC by Hardkernel, based on Intel N6005, is a GOAT.
* Less than 2W idle.
* Passive cooling: an absolute must for long term non-serviceable appliances!! Even slow and silent fans will eventually get dusty.
* 2.5GbE is far better for NAS or home server that 1GbE.
* 2x SATA for DIY RAID-1 NAS.
* All modern stuff like M.2, DDR4, virtualization, AVX is also present.
Yeah, slightly newer N100 is even better in terms of power efficiency, but all that I can see on the market is NUC-like mini PCs with active cooling and poor expandability, not fanless embedded-friendly SBCs.
Anyone telling you, you should throw out a computer in a landfill to "save the environment" is woefully uneducated. Further, they best walk everywhere and eat home grown plants. SMH.
I’m looking to use Proxmox with Home Assistant + Frigate + Scrypted with 5X 2MP cameras and 2X 4MP 24/7 recording handling AI perhaps with a Coral GPU. Would a N100 be suffice or would you get a Ryzen 7 5700U instead?
Chinese spyware included?
4 Watts doesn't require a fan… You and your misleading thumbnails are out of my feed
The cost calculations don't typically tend to include the expected resale value after the amount of years have passed, which – I believe – might actually change the value proposition a fair bit.
It's good to reuse, but it's better to make it a habit that we use higher efficiency electronics as a rule.
I have a 600G4 as my hypervisor, with an 8500T. Those two extra cores are really noticeable. Where N100 shines the most IMO is in NASes. You can get cheap motherboards with tons of IO. Hell, a desktop motherboard with 6 SATA and 2.5Gb ethernet costs the same as an N100 motherboard with that, and you still need an AM4 CPU (so Athlon)
This is why i still use my i5 3570K as home server. Electricity is relatively affordable here, so even that pc sucks up alot of power, it still better than buying anything. Gonna try to use it until it dies.
LOL NO… Mac Mini M2. I run Plex on my home server and want transcoding support. Its not a contest. There is no chance their GPU touches the apple one.
using your existing hardware is always better for the environment than trying to outright replace them
it might make financial sense to replace them, but not ecological sense, whether that be due to waste leeching into the environment due to the way society dumps its trash, or because of the fact that you simply have to put that trash somewhere at all
all manufacturing, refurbishing, and recycling uses energy, which costs CO2 in almost all situations, or other such non-environmentally-friendly gasses, especially things like lead that are put into older hardware
it literally makes sense no matter what to keep the old stuff out of the landfills and just use them until you cant
the most environmentally-friendly energy source is nuclear, it takes more emissions to make the plant than to manufacture the same amount of turbines, but no matter what, if you keep it running, it basically has zero co2 emissions because of just how reliable and powerful it is, especially how it generates its power is just heated water (steam) which can be collected and filtered naturally for use by the plant that uses it, or just set to be closed-loop and it only needs a set amount for its entire lifespan (ignoring leaks)
What's the name of the LCD screen that you have above your keyboad at 2:35?
Thanks.
Hi love your channel i am going to build a new pc and going to use my FX 8350 for Nas Plex and CCTV will this work for me ?
I bought a ASUS PN42 for my small lab server. I believe this model much more better than this brand 😂
