Hardware Design Philosophy
- Energy efficiency: Low-TDP CPUs (35W - 65W) are preferred for 24/7 operation, keeping residential electricity costs under 40,000 VND/month.
- Near-silent operation: The M70q mini PC server and Noctua fans on the workstation keep noise below 20 dB in a bedroom or home office.
- Power resilience: An APC UPS provides automatic voltage regulation (AVR) and 25 minutes of runtime during outages, so servers can safely flush ZFS writes.
- Upgradability: Industry-standard RAM and NVMe modules can be swapped easily, with no dependence on proprietary hardware.
