Not exactly a wall of servers but having 6 devices on my bookshelf is a large number.
3x4TB My Clouds
3x4TB My Books for mirroring the clouds.
Do I need all this? Actually no. This has become a wiring nightmare and I would have preferred just a single 6TB My Cloud and a single 6TB My Book; however what is done is done, I couldn’t resist the cheap Clouds that everyone was selling. I’ll try to do a little Cloud testing on the last set of Cloud and My Book that I bought.
Just thought I post up to show off how deeply committed I am to the Cloud
I moved the power bar as low as I can go due to the length of the power cable (although I could have placed them all cluster together so that the plugs could sit on the floor of which I did not think about that possibility till now next time!!)
What you could do is build a wooden box without bottom and back to conceal the sockets and then to each side of the book case like a conduit. The conduit on the left would be empty and the on the right with the wires. On top of the box where the sockets would be hidden, you could put a picture on top of it, maybe a lamp or a plant?
I was thinking of buying one QNap TS-431 and stripping all 3x4TB Red from the clouds and using the 3 drives to create a 12TB raid 5 giving 8TB usable. The 3x4TB My books can attached to the ANap as external drives given me a powerhouse server that can sit in the closet. It won’t look as good, but it will certainly function a million times better.
