I dont expect to need more lanes for this nas. The drives are 12TB each and should me more than i need for what i plan to use them for.

The biggest thing i was hoping to get out of a premade enclosure was lower power draw, but you’re right that I can just get old low power equipment, which should help

I would take a SAS DAS if you know of one.

This is what i was expecting to hear, i was just hopeful someone knew something i didnt.

if you want to type the key yourself each time this could work. I’m not aware of an app that does this but it wouldn’t be too hard I don’t think.

if you’re encrypting at rest you also have to consider where there encryption key is being stored.

if you’re storing the encryption key plaintext on the same drive as the data, there’s not much of a point in encrypting.

a TPM/HSM could solve the issue, depending on how far down the rabbit hole you need to go.

EDIT: You could also encrypt the disk of the VM/Server hosting the app. similar situation.

Cloudflare and Crowdstrike are different companies.

Are you using defender for o365? If so, usually uou can get a copy of Any rejected messages at security.microsoft.com and get more info from the message explorer

can you drop the header in here: https://mha.azurewebsites.net/pages/mha.html

it might have some more info for you

Microsoft doesn’t care about you upgrading your personal computer. they care about business licenses. Enterprise pays the bills, and enterprise computers have all had TPM for ages. I don’t see any reason for them to make a change. consumers buying a new os for an existing computer is a drop in the bucket

I saw one of these. Have you used it? Does it work okay?

What ui do you put on? Kodi? Or do you just run a full fat deskop environment?

I’ve done this in the past. I was mostly interested to see what others have done
