Tbh I would have used a better PSU, I will change it in the future " 550watt" but i am adding more cards in the computer to add GPu . other than that i cant think of much more i would do

Im Fine with that. I also plan to document and show other things once alpha is released and things are more stable

i plan to do a write up once I get home and swap over hardware to the new case

I'm not totally surprised these drives i have are Old and were the cheapest i could get on ebay. But it is good to know after stressing 10tb that I do have some dying drives and I get notices

Im torn between plex and jellyfin, I do know i will be using my hacked p100 nvidia "mining card " for encoding . it has worked well in the past

Failing drive notifications work lol

well knowing it can be recovered in Truenas + the source of the backup has me covered

My current solution is 2x 12tb in software raid in another box. and if all takes a poop im not worried, it would just be a PITA to bring things back from usb drives and add in the data from the 12tb . Also wanna note that im not scared of the "experimental state "of hex. I know I can scrap that OS build and bring it back to freenas and let it take back over the cluster without any issues.

I want to do this but I also dont want to tear up my storage so it all just stays on disks

I was going to use roadkill back up program to verify everything once it was loaded, but ill have to look into new programs

Ill have to look into this, I usually dont have to worry about it- but i am moving files from 2x 12tb drives to the NAS/ Only plan to do it once now that everything is in order. I have been case modding since 2000. 3d Printers just make things easier, I use to have to do it in all metal and bend cut and make everything

Nothing crashed, it just paused so I had to click try again and it resumed. it just sucks that It should of moved 10tb by now but I have a week left before I get home so plenty of time. And it is a 15x 3.5 and i should have it all filled with some more inside once I 3d print some holders for inside the case

The new hand me down

bro got that bigg e-peen flex here, great looking setup

Im not posting my access control pictures, I only have like 3 fresh installs under my belt and thoes look okish but the rest at work are trainwrecks waiting to be fixed in due time

I went from truenas to hex "At Home" because it seemed like it will be easier for myself and when I have clients that need a better than Box store NAS solutions. I run Truenas at work on a large scale, I know it well and have no issues getting it to work . There are a few things users that will be coming in to this realm that will be a bit of a learning curve until there is updates and feature implements that will seem a bit odd. Truenas as it stands is geared for the more advanced Tech / I.T. ppeople. but if someone wanted to deep dive and read / watch plenty of videos on the subject it can be easier to run and setup.

Nope it is here forever

@Dylan So went on a road trip, forgot about the transfer, it got hung up. So I am now letting it start again lol Also picked up a case from a friend that built his Nas 15 years ago and has now swapped to a Rackmount and Jbod so now I have a proper case and will most likely be redoing all my hardware once i get home. Damn this hobby

I will do, I know once i start the big transfer it will cap out at 1gb, I wish i could team the cards together but so far I seem to be capping out 1gbps with a few things moving data at once.

@Dylan Slow and stedy, Im moving alot of stuff from usb 1 &2 devicesn then ill be moving about 12tb from my workstation

Once upon a life I had a 8 driving 32 in the mobile so I understand lol

I will be playing with my new toys remote, I have plenty of seat time ahead of me. The plus side is I will be in a new area with better tech deals than where I live so might come back with things to play with

Just starting to move larger sets of data, it seems like its only using 1 of the 3 nics I have installed but it will get there
