Gonna post here about any updates to try and document my new server and HexOS journey. Currently the setup goes like this: Server: Quanta 1U D51PC CPU's: 2 x Xeon E5-2630 V4 (10c/20t per CPU) RAM: 128GB DDR4 (8 x 16GB) PCIe Cards: LSI SAS3 MPT Controller Quanta 2-Port 1GbE Intel X350 2.0 NIC Boot Drive: 256GB NVMe SSD Storage: 8 x 1.2TB Seagate 10K SAS Drives. 7.93TB Usable Space Currently running 12 Docker Containers and 1 VM with more to come as i haven't ported everything over yet from my old Host. Snookered myself slightly as there is no room for expansion and not sure best practice for upgrading the drive as every bay is full. Transfer data to another host then upgrade? Any advise there? The only thing I want to add is a GPU for transcoding media however no free PCIe slots other than 4x so need to think on that one. Any thoughts or recommendations from anyone please feel free, I have another host running Proxmox so happy to tinker in the TrueNAS UI if it's worth it to make the experience/performance better.

Asus PRIME B450M-A mobo (6 sata ports) 32GB of DDR4 2666MHZ Ryzen 5 3600 MSI Nvidia 1080 Ti 11GB 500GB SATA boot drive 4 WD Red 10TB Raidz2 Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L Micro-ATX Case Drives are separated by plastic shims and thick 3M tape which I'm hoping will reduce the vibration between them. And since I ran out of room I have one standing vertical. Two fans in the front and one in the back. Drive temps stay below 40C

Hi, I wanted to share my first NAS build! I had a lot of fun building it, except at the end where the bloody thing wasn't booting into bios (maybe because I hadn't fully plugged in the ATX cable into the power supply...) This is the hardware that I used : ASUS B650-PLUS AMD Ryzen 5 7600 AMD RX 580 (old GPU I had lying around, used for Plex) Corsair DDR5 32Gb (2x16Gb) 6000MHz Noctua NH-U12S (in chromax.black, soooooo cool) Fractal Design Meshify 2 Seasonic Vertex PX-750 4x Seagate IronWolf ST12000VN0007 12TB HDD I don't have the 12TB HDDs right now, so I installed two 1TB WD Red HDDs (in mirror) to at least make a first Time Machine backup. My NAS is plugged in via 2.5GbE, and I was quite surprised to see 300Mb/s writing speeds over SMB (during my Time Machine backup) ! Not too bad, right? Here is the beast (at least for me; I find it to be quite big, even if it's not the XL version of the Meshify 2 lol). I really love the all black look, especially the Noctua NH-U12S which is sooooo clean in black. My motherboard only has x4 SATA III ports, so I'm planning to buy an 8 ports SATA controller (from StarTech.com, Ref. Num. 8P6G-PCIE-SATA-CARD) when I'll want to have more storage. I could also add two more M.2 SSDs but they wouldn't be really useful for me as discussed here : And that's supposed to be my cable management (First time building a PC for me). Not bad right? I think that my build is quite flexible, I love it! Cheers!
