Currently running TrueNAS-12.0-U8.1 on an Supermicro X8SIL-F with a x3470 Xeon. After several hours of frustration in not being able to get a VM to start, I researched and discovered that my X3470 series processor doesn't support TrueNAS vms. The CPU supports EPT but not UG. I'd like to find a fairly efficient Motherboard/CPU common that would accommodate my existing RAM and support VMs. It would also be good if the new combo would support AES-NI as well, since my current pool is unencrypted. BTW, is it possible to enable encryption without rebuilding the Pool?
I use it for general file storage with SMB shares going out to multiple computers on the network, as well as for Time Machine backups from several macs that I have on the network. I also have the following deployed.
JAILS (running on an SSD for faster IO)
UniFi
Plex (no transcoding)
Nextcloud
8x8TB WD Reds in RAID-Z2 config, which store all of my data.
120GB ZIL Write Cache
With the exception of the VM Bhyve problem my system has worked well for me since 2017. I'd like to keep the costs as low as possible.
