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.
