Second Hand Server

[Vandal]

Mostly for for my records but also to share:

Second hand IBuypower pc tower:
Intel Core i7-8700k
ASRock Z370 pro4-cb MB
Gigabyte GTX 1070 8 GB - (not in use)

Added:
Corsair Vengeance ddr4 16gb 3200mhz
Recertified Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC520 12 TB x2 (mirror pool)
Refurbished Western Digital PC SN720 256GB x2 (mirror boot pool)
 

[Vandal]

Updates:
Upgraded CPU cooler from stock Intel (dropped idle temp from 45c to 30c) - Thermalright Assassin X 120R SE Plus

Upgraded from random bronze PSU to - Seasonic FOCUS GX-650w 80+ Gold

Added a UPS - CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD3

Now running Plex, Immich, and Audiobookshelf. UPS configured and email alerts configured.

Ignore the retro Alienware Alpha. It is a testing server running Proxmox and other services... and ignore the old hard drive connected via usb to it (being used for a single drive Truenas pool lol)

I also want to make a mirror boot pool.

• Was there an option on during the HEXOS installation?
• I guess not, so if indeed not, then how did you do that?
• Through TrueNAS? If so, could you send me some good keywords so that I can search online for a relevant guide so that I can do this too?
  • alternatively you already know where a guide is, and then I would love to have that link

Thanks in advance for sharing

I had to do it through TrueNAS and it was pretty easy.

Haha! Got me good! 

Proof that it isn't only terms and conditions that I don't read!😅  

(I should be more careful)

Thank you @Joe4evr
