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!

Just got my hands on this junker HP p6710f PC with decent specs. My cousin was about to throw this away, good thing I was able to save it from becoming e-waste. It originally had 1x 1TB WD Green, and I found x2 more for $20 on Marketplace. I also ordered the SSD for $20 (a Patriot one from Amazon). currently running it off a graphics tablet to troubleshoot next to my bananas(+10 Gbps) There is a storage situation going on right now. Hoping to fix it somehow, get apps to run off the SSD, and get started for real. I’m happy to finish setting up my first NAS, though!

I bought an old gigabyte NAS box with some hard drives to try out TrueNAS a while ago to see if I would be into it. After hearing about HexOS, I immediately changed the color of my pants with excitement. Long story short, mobo is dead and it's like a 4th gen i5 or something like that. I want a good deal on new hardware unless there is an insane used itx mobo / CPU / ram combo. I picked out a 12600 (cooler included), AsRock b760m-itx for mobo, and 32 GB of ripjaws. As a certified noob, please let me know if I am doing something dumb. I don't need a GPU, right?

I recently set up a VM hosting the TrueNAS OS. I further tested to see that it was configured properly by connecting to the instance via my browser. From here I was able to login and access the TrueNAS dashboard. However, even though I can access my TrueNAS instance anywhere in my house the setup page for HEXOS can't seem to find the server. https://deck.hexos.com/add-new-server/detecting Any help would be appreciated. Thank you,

Can HexOS help me setup a bit miner that has some halfway decent enterprise server hardware and GPUs?

Would be wonderful, if there's a way to easily setup NAS as a cloud NAS, so i can hopefully access it from anywhere and replacing gdrive/onedrive that i'm currently use. Even though i'm tech enthusiast, often i can be lost when setting up NAS as personal cloud storage. Especially when my home (and many others) ISP doesn't offer public IP (multiple NAT). Hope you can adding this to the future development as soon as possible. Can't wait and very exciting.
