Disclaimer: I am VERY new to anything server or homelab. I probably do not know what I'm talking about most of the time. I have a R720 with a H310MM RAID card that is flashed into IT mode. I plan to make this server into a NAS & PLEX server. It currently has 8x3TB drives in it. I need a boot...

Hi all, Context Planning my first FreeNAS build based on the Supermicro X11SSM-F board. Would appreciate any feedback on the below config. I think it's fairly close to a lot of recommended builds on this board recently. This will be primarily file storage (backups and Plex data). Plan is for...

'gpart create -s gpt -f active /dev/da1' failed: gpart: arg0 'da1': Invalid argument' This is the error I get after a minute or so. Have tried ext and dos to format drive before adding to pool. USB is fine - i.e. working. It is exactly the same USB as main boot USB (same make, model, and...

Hello all. I am very close to completing my first FreeNAS build (just waiting on a CPU heatsink bracket in the mail). While I wait, I wanted to get your opinion on the use of two SSDs that I have at my disposal. I initially bought a 16GB, based on the recommended FreeNAS minimum requirements...
