maxse Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hey guys, I wanted to get some input from you. I am looking at upgrading my 2013 macbook air to the new ones. What's crazy is how expensive the dive space is and it's not upgradable! I am looking to get 16 gigs of ram and with a 512 SSD its around $1800 which is just nuts to me. I have an awesome unraid/ server that I have. I was wondering if there's anyway I could save money and just get 256gig SSD version and utilize my unraid server space? Is there an easy way that I could map the "documents" folder on the macbook to point to a location on the unraid server? I could then get a nice SSD drive and set up a share to use only the SSD so read/write would be quick? The other issue is that if I take my macbook out of the house, I would like to be able to seamlessly still access that "documents" folder that's actually residing on the unraid server at home. Any thoughts on this?? If there's a way to do this, I think I would be able to save a ton of $$, and I'm sure this would help others also? Do you guys see anything wrong with this scenario? Do you see this being a feasible reasonable solution? Quote Link to comment
1812 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 auto mount the server folder on boot for seamless local access. you'll need to setup something like next cloud for external data access or vpn back onto your network. Quote Link to comment
wgstarks Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) There are also apps like AutoMounter that will mount the shares any time they are available (not just on boot/login) and remount them when necessary (if you reboot unRAID for example). It’s actually rather simple to mount a share manually, but I usually forget that I need to.😊 Edited June 10, 2019 by wgstarks Quote Link to comment
