I'm moving to a new flat. There I have the possibility to place my NAS in the cellar. Hence I wonder, which rack to take to prevent my ULTRA 6 and my NV from dust. Maybe there is someone in the community who can give me some advise?
Server rack is a good idea. Though designed for rackmount gear these do tend to have one or more shelves (number tends to vary on height) and you can buy more.
Server racks tend to fit standard 19" rackmount equipment, good for if you buy any rack-mountable equipment (e.g. rack-mountable switch) to be placed near the NAS.
I would be wary of putting a NAS in a cellar, particularly if the cellar is prone to flood. The ReadyNAS is not designed to withstand floods and will not.
it's just a "normal" cellar in a flat. I thinks that is not getting to hot there. Maybe 25 grad celsius (max.) in summer. There is a window right next to the place, where the rack should be placed. Don't think of a data center cellar - it's just a cellar in a private flat :wink:
Hope it's a private lockable space in the cellar, otherwise you would be putting some fairly expensive equipment into a common area and it could be a real temptation.
