I signed up as an early adopter last November, but have not yet installed it (running TrueNAS on an IXSystems Mini 3.0X+ w/a 5x8TB RAIDZ1)

I'm building a custom NAS (probably overkill, this is all homelab stuff) now (parts slowly arriving)

 

CPU:   Intel 14500 I5
RAM:  128GB DDR4 (ouch!!!!)
Mobo: ASUS B760M-A D4-CSM
Supermicro 2U chassis

7x12TB (will be a RAIDZ2) with an HBA card and SAS extender in case I want to add more than the 8 drives the chassis supports

1TB Samsung 990 Pro NVME (boot drive, and planning on putting my VMs there, or at least the fast ones  I need, w/backup to the big vdev)

Intel A380 (hoping it'll work) for transcoding

dual 10GBps NIC for connecting to my backbone 

 

I'll be reading a ton in the next week here 🙂

That looks like a very capable NAS you are building!

I am running an Intel Arc A380 myself and it is working great for transcoding! It usually transcodes at around 500fps for me.

And with this post you are now part of the community, so welcome 👋😄
