In both my homelab and any paid networking deployments I do, I tend to color-code the patch cables.

My scheme is typically as follows:

Blue for wall jacks.

Green for wall or ceiling-mounted APs

Orange for IP Cameras.

Red for door access devices

Gray for servers or other devices in the rack

I avoid yellow as to not get confused with fiber cables.

How do you guys do it?

I am building an all Flash NAS and am wondering if 12G SAS SSDs still are something to consider in comparison to the much faster NVMe SSDs.

I do plan on having about 15 TB usable storage. I can get SAS SSDs for 67 CHF/TB but NVMe SSDs cost me at least 100 CHF/TB. (Or basically double that because i‘d be doing a 2-way mirror for each vdev.)

This is for basic documents and photography. Maybe some GIS datasets but nothing really needs extremely fast storage. All SSD, because i want something silent, hate hearing HDDs clicking away.

Are SAS SSDs still viable in 2025? I mean, they should be able to saturate the 10Gb network connection, maybe even come close to 25G. What am i missing if i go SAS instead of NVMe? Is the price difference still worth the speed increases of NVMe?

Sadly i cannot rely on used parts since that market is non-existent for parts like these here. And importing is expensive.

As I add bits to my modest homelab, my wife is concerned that it might catch fire, especially when we are away. Now she's got me worried. I have 2 small fans to keep the kit cool.

Has anyone experienced their kit catching fire?
