Short and sweet: how to choose a RAID/HBA controller for the server
RAID controllers have not left and are not going to, on the contrary, hardware controllers for NVME and PCI Express drives (including M2 format drives) are entering the market.

Server fans: what they are, how they work
Server fans play a key role in maintaining the temperature at an optimal level. They operate at high speeds to ensure sufficient airflow within the server system, thereby cooling it. Most server fans are designed to operate at different speeds, which significantly enhances their efficiency. This means that when the server system is under load, the server fans operate at higher speeds to increase cooling, and when the load is light, the speed decreases.
The main function of server fans is to ...

Impregnable NAS: hardening and protecting Synology
A modern NAS is quite capable of protecting itself from most attacks and guaranteeing not only the continuity of the service, but also the inviolability of the stored data. Even with minimal settings and following the manufacturer's recommendations, the NAS can become an impregnable fortress for an attacker, so reliable that you can connect the device directly to the Internet without a Firewall, leave it literally in an unguarded place (which is important for peripheral installations), being ...

Article about vertical wall-mounting of servers
An interesting solution for home laboratories, small test rooms or maintenance-free points where 1-2-3 pieces of equipment are placed, and every square centimeter is worth its weight in gold
I often came up with the idea: why not place servers vertically, because if you do not have a special server rack, but have a 1U-4U machine, and even a full length of 655 mm, then this bandura will take up the entire room, the entire table or rack. No, I'm not saying that server cabinets are outdated and ...
