physon is the controller of the ssd what a dumb ass
Disclaimer: Normally I would be against performing such operation on a brand new device. Wait at least few months and use the product as intended, so that you look out for any manufacturer defects and also in this case you could have monitored the performance for 2-3 months to get a baseline. The reason is if day one you perform such disassembly you won't know if you screwed up or if it is the manufacturer at fault. (I understand you are a YouTuber and appreciate your dedication, disclaimer are for people watching the video).
I really like the fact you have a full disassembly of a low-cost product fully documented, it is a good spot for people to get reference at some point when they need to perform maintenance or if someone is intrigued on the internals of the device.
1) The rusty compound you found is most probably a cheap thread-locker from the manufacturer, normally it is blue on electronics and sometime red on device prone to higher vibrations. You could get yourself some Blue Loctite Thread-locker and apply it, as these screws sometimes might come off due to the vibration caused by the HDD and make electrical shorts.
2) Noctua Fan is a cool touch 🙂 A little bit over-kill but I like the choice! I can already see that in the future you'll probably build your own NAS and re-purpose this as a backup to your main NAS. Maybe we will see a mini home-lab build!
3) Plan on a secondary NAS as mentioned above, which you can set up as a backup, periodically turn on to sync with the main NAS, the secondary should be at a different spot/room or even another location, maybe a trusty family member in exchange you can offer them a small allocation.
The "rust" is actually threadlocker. No idea why they aren't using the red or blue, perhaps it's just some generic stuff.
When you're re-pasting a bare CPU/GPU die spread the past out over the whole die so that full coverage is guaranteed. You used enough excess that I doubt there's any voids but it's a good idea to keep that in mind for the future. Personally I'd use one of those cryosheets or PTM7950 since getting in and out of that thing to re-paste would be a pain and pop-out is a common occurrence in bare die applications and repasting a NAS is a PITA.
Are you using your M.2 as a Cache? Also, in the future you can schedule your parity to operate during specific windows (like while you’re asleep.
Okay, so I am going to summarize what I see. For my own benefit.
You're placing the stock fan on the new NAS for no particular reason. Your drives are operating within thermal specifications. You're replacing the thermal compound on the CPU for the new NAS for no particular reason. The CPU is currently sufficiently covered by a thermal compound chosen and applied by the manufacturer. You're running Unraid, which gives you the throughput of a single disk, even though you have a four disk NAS that would provide theoretical aggregated throughput of three disks if configured in a RAID 5 array, like that supported in the manufacturer's operating system for the NAS.
Ah. Good. Now I understand fully.
Oh beware if fans screws might come lose one day by itself esp handing by a couple of threads 😅
Spring helps access panel pops out when open
Oh the four screws to cpu fan , you needed to screw down the same nbr of turns as the other 3 screws assuming equal pressure is applied to cpu also not too much pressure that would squeeze out paste almost entirely ???
U need to monitor cpu Temps to verify reapply paste was successfully
In two to five years replace thermal paste ?? U check cpu Temps max???
Rubber feet to reduces vibrations to hdd from fan
Very good and informative video
Ugreen your hot rod 😂😂😂😂
Yeah well Enterprise HDD are cooled in server rooms at 60 to 70 degrees , so consumers are subjecting these hdd to Hotter conditions , adds to wear and tare
U making ugos argument
Unsure if things are better under unpaid or trunas or win 11
Meaning unsure if ugos got cooling optimal??
A cooler room would help cool things down
Replace rusty parts 😮😮😮😮
Wow disassembly and rebuilding
Yeah why
