  1. So far so good! But it's been what, 2 week as of next Friday?😄 But again, seem just like those refurbs from this video.
  2. Same, not using it for irrecoverable stuff just yet.
  3. Hey, @Mawson - am aware! Am planning to add more drives soon and then redo the main pool properly.
  4. @CainSooN should be resolved by now - they had some outage: Here's a bigger thread about this:
  5. Inspired by @FallenHero234's post: Background: Had this as an idea for a while now - was lurking around for years, until I saw that LTT video. Got in at $99 sale. Though to myself "might as well get on with it" (SO works with videos, myself toy with DAW) and got myself a refurb P520 and a couple of those EXOS refurbs. Specs: CPU: Intel Xeon W-2223 GPU: Nvidia Quadro K4000 3GB RAM: 16GB DDR4 Storage: Boot Drive: 256GB M.2 SSD Data Drive: 2x refurb 18TB Seagate EXOS X20 HDD Experience so far: Got the part last Friday, waited till Sunday to add the HDDs to the P520, opened that video and the illustrated install guide and installed - everything was smooth and straightforward. Started with Immich - what an awesome experience; transferred a number of lesser albums, right now am learning Plex was next - took a minute to figure out how to point to correct library folders, but 30 mins of lurking got it sorted. Again, a smooth performance; After that installed Actual via the Truenas UI - basically, it went fine as well and seems so far to be smooth. I guess right now I'm sort of cautiously exploring - looking at CPU load, and slowly transferring data in small chunks to relevant folders. However, am thinking of: Moving my HomeAssistant (running on a VM in VirtualBox on an old Mac Mini I had laying around); Adding more drives (the current pool is not expandable, so will redo the setup to make an expandable pool once I get the third 18 TB HDD) as well as creating additional pools, got a bunch of 2.5 HDDs & SSDs laying around: Specifically went for P520 because can fit more 3.5 HDDs and still have room for smaller drives. Other than that - pretty happy I did this and no regrets (knock on wood, haha).
  6. Having a similar issue. Plex & Immich work, TrueNAS dash opens fine. edit: Seems to be stuck - occasionally getting this ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT:
