Hello fellow HEXians (or whatever name works lol),
I bought a 4U machine off of FB market place that I am converting into my NAS, it had some parts that I am trying to repurpose. Turns out the SSD bay that I got with this is an ICYDock, which was pretty cool.
I included the spec list off of the FB post for those curious.
I switched to a I7-10700k with 16GB of RAM - this will be upgraded later.
Now on to the issues:
1. My network card on my mb is a RealTek 2.5GBE, to my understanding and research this is not compatible with TrueNAS as a whole. I ordered an Intel 82575/82576 to replace it, this should be fine?
2. The system I bought had two LSI drive controllers, one for SSDs and one for HDD - after tinkering and finding out that the HDD cages were VERY loud i decided to remove those for now. but it looks like the SAS 9361-8i I have, for the SSDs, are not compatible due to it being a MegaRAID controller (I think - after researching). Can replacements be recommended for this please and thank you.
