My 265k build

I'm glad i didn't end up painting the case. That would have taken a while and no time. The case came in Thursday night and i worked on it for hours since i got it. 

I still don't even have the motherboard installed 😅

I've also spent a lot of time doing cable management and it still looks like a rat's nest 😅😅

My original plan to drill in mounting holes for the phanteks drive caddies is a bust too but my new plan is less elegant and more expensive 😅😅😅

I realized i had more free sata power and data slots so i bought more drives 😅😅😅😅

Hopefully by Monday or Tuesday i make a new update saying I'm 95% done. This iteration of my server is not going to complete until i can get a part 3d printed and 3d printing services are expensive. I'm reaching out to some friends to see if they have a 3d printer but I'm not hopeful. 😅😅😅😅😅

Building this server is finally done (after some amazon delays)

i just started the transfer from my only server to the new one and uhm it might take weeks if not months just to transfer 50tb of data from one to the other.
i gotta say it was rough.

ill go into more detail later but new final plan changed to this

Pool 1 (misc storage)

• 3 x 16 tb Seagate skyhawk ai hdd

Pool 2 (main storage)

• 7 x 14 tb Seagate exos hdd
• 5 x 14tb Western Digital ultra star hdd
• metadata vdev
  • 3x 870 evo 500gb

pool 3 (apps pool)

• 2 x Intel Pro 5400s 240 GB 

pool 4 (iscusi pool)

• 3 x 2 tb Samsung 980 pro ssd (found another one in my ps5)

 

im dead tired after software troubleshooting so more info to come after a nap

That's impressive, glad that it's working as you expected it =D

Is your pool 2 now RaidZ2? 🙂 

How do you intend to copy the files over?

If the old server is Hexos/Truenas I would recommend replication task via network or just chuck the old drives in the new server and do a replication tasks from one pool to the other.

If it's none Hexos/Truenas then good luck 😁 nah just kidding rsync is also awesome and if you leave it running you should be done in a week 🙂

 

Do you have an UPS for your setup?

Yup. It's 2 x 6 wide z2 vdevs or rather it will be once my transfer is complete and i can move over my drives for now is just 1 6 wide z2 vdev

I'm using rsyncui, a rsync gui for Mac

My old server is barely a server. It's a Macbook connected to das. I had it run a samba server and my old jellyfin server. It's also WiFi connected so that limits my speeds

Not yet, i put it off since i haven't had a power outage once since i moved here 3 years ago. But i definitely need one sooner than later. 

Part of the reason i kept putting it off was that the nut compatibility list always seems so daunting
