      dumb question.
      N54L vs G8, which one better?
      for normal use.

      both can be use for server, am I right?

      • wisc on 13/12/2013 - 13:42
        +1

        G8 is faster, however, the N54L has an esata port,the G8 has ilo, the 54 may use less power… (haven't been able to find good stats for the g8)

        • surat on 13/12/2013 - 13:44

          are both still can access externally?
          like from mobilephone or outside the building/house?

          like login to the cloud website and then access my files.

        • wisc on 13/12/2013 - 13:50

          that's software not machine dependant, these don't come with an os or HDD…

        • surat on 13/12/2013 - 14:00

          may i know what software do you think that can do this?

          what OS are you planning to use with this G8?
          do you think 2gb is enough?

          thanks for all your help.

          hmm if your not sure of these, then this is probably not right for you…

          looking at installing esxi running a freenas VM then use ZFS on the drives (present back to ESXi.) (with some help from friends at work :D)
          will probably have a windows VM for IIS and a Linux install for PLEX or similar (XBMC?)
          and will probably use it as a LAB environment home training. :)

          you might just want a NAS, many of those have simple features like that built in if you don't need to data process… some even have DLNA servers…

          shoppiongexpress has heaps of decent NAS, I'm sure Tien will help you out :)

        • yk300 on 13/12/2013 - 15:59

          I was assuming these would not be powerful enough to run VMs. time for more research now.

        • wisc on 13/12/2013 - 17:15

          more reliant on RAM really… if the CPU's not doing anything its going to be idle no matter how many VM's!

          10GB RAM should be enough for 4-5 VMs (2GB each) some shouldn't even need that much.

      • Helios504 on 13/12/2013 - 14:54
        +1

        Also an additional difference is that the N54L has 1 full size pcie slot and 1 mini pcie slot.

        The G8 only has 1 full size pcie slot. So if you add a gfx card you cant add anything else unless its usb.

      • tyrotex on 13/12/2013 - 18:19
        +1

        I own an N40L (N54L predecessor). They are great little machines and can be used for a lot of things as a home server.
        One thing that I would prefer about the G8 is that it uses a FCLGA1155 socketed (i.e. replaceable) Intel CPU, rather than a soldered-in-place AMD CPU. See http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showpost.php?p=15533155&po….
        That would make it more useful to me when playing with some newer OS, like the Illumos variants which rely on Intel-specific hardware features.
        I wanted to try SmartOS for virtualisation, so I had to go to an IBM (shudder!) X3100 to do that. The G8 would have been much more user-friendly if it had been available at the time.
        YMMV

    Hey guys,

    Is the 8 Port Switch good? Is it worth the extra $63?

    I've been using an old adsl modem as a switch in my house but it only gives an extra 3 ports and the lights are annoying me. Was just thinking recently I should probably get a proper switch.

    • Radar on 13/12/2013 - 14:24
      +1

      That 8 port switch looks like the older 8-port pro-curves with a new chassis. They are awesome for the price.
      For an additional $63 I think it's a steal.
      The have a life-time warranty too - I've tested this out years after the purchase (for something which many would call trivial - "Due to a particular known firmware bug, I couldn't apply a newer firmware which had SNMP features I wanted to use at home" - the old one still switched fine) - no receipt needed.
      HP sent out a new switch which arrived next day, It was a slightly newer model which didn't fit my power-supply, so HP sent out another new one which arrived the next day.

      These switches shit all over those consumer Dlink/Netgear/etc switches.

      • wisc on 13/12/2013 - 14:26

        for a home environment do I really need a layer 3 switch? what's it going to give me over a consumer Dlink/Netgear?

        • Radar on 13/12/2013 - 14:33
          +2

          You might not need any of the extra stuff this switch has over other switches.
          Buy it for it rock solid reliability, performance, and awesome warranty.

        • wisc on 13/12/2013 - 14:38
          +1

          too late :( besides my 16port 10/100 should be enough for the extra equipment on the network when all they do is stream media and use the internet…

          the back of the gigabit router can be used for 3 other devices in the house..(1 consumed for the uplink) and I don't really have much that can use gigabit anyways…1 for the main PC, 1 for the micro server, leaves 1 more for anything that needs it…
          I need 12 ports anyways… 8 from this switch +3 for the router leaves 1 port unconnected which is OK I guess considering I have 2 ports in each room with only a few ports being used.

          sorry, just talking aloud..(cool story bro). don't think I need it… though the warranty is awesome, probably worth it for that alone,

      • lyl-Lychee on 13/12/2013 - 16:27

        Thanks Radar. I bought the bundle. I know squat all about hardware and have no idea what a 3-layer switch is, but you've completely sold me on it.

        • Radar on 14/12/2013 - 13:01

          Just to be clear, this is a layer 2 (not layer-3) switch.
          This won't matter unless you are specifically looking for a layer 3 switch (ie router).

        • lyl-Lychee on 14/12/2013 - 17:18

    • Store RepShoppingExpress @ Shopping Express on 13/12/2013 - 15:43

      Hi mekalol,

      SSD can be used on N54L.

      If you need more guide/information regarding microserver -
      There are a lot of experts on whirlpool forum & ozbargain and I recommend you do a search for more information from whirlpool forum to get a good guide/understanding on what can be/best to use with N54L in terms of hardware/software and setting it up (including setting SSD up for Microserver).

  • Ethereal Winter on 14/12/2013 - 03:54

    Tempted as I've been looking at second hand mac minis to use as a server for NAS/Plex/Possible minecraft server/other future stuff. Even the old Mac minis from years ago running duo cores and duo core 2 cost $250+ second hand. Not quite sure how comparable the performance of N54L is to a mac mini.

    But sadly I am going overseas in a few days and won't be able to buy it right now. Hopefully there is another sale on these after christmas.

    What is the foot print/size of one of these? and how much noise do these generate, I mean if I keep in my bedroom will it keep me up at night? Currently I'm running as raspberry pi as a NAS, but I feel like an upgrade.

    • lyl-Lychee on 20/12/2013 - 20:11

      Lol! I bought it and it looks great with the G8 stacked on top. I remember looking at it before buying and being perplexed by why a switch needs to be so big in size. But the way it looks in real life with the G8 I don't mind at all. In fact I quite like it.

      I didn't buy any RAM :(. Am looking to install windows home server '11 and running SAB+Sickbeard+utorrent+Plex so now looking at buying WH11+RAM+graphics card. And I just Ebay-ed myself a molex y-split + molex-to-SATA cords. Lucky I already have an old SATAII SSD lying around.

      … I should wait til after xmas before I buy the rest cause my wallet is screaming bloody murder at me.

      Edit: Now I'm thinking might give freeNas a go actually- try and save a bit of cash by not buying WH11 now. Just sceptical over if I can get everything up and running smoothly …
