Hi all. I currently have this motherboard with 2x "Super Talent 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 PC3-12800E 240-Pin ECC Unbuffered UDIMM Ram" ram. CPU is an E3-1230 V2. BIOS version 2.3 I'm running into a strange issue, where upon any reboot of the system causes the RAM to drop into non-ECC mode as...

Please advice on hardware selection for small home system with following usage: Primary purpose is storing a photo/video archive. Some part of data should be fast to browse so I think about SAS drives. I do not expect that more than 2 users will need access simultaneously. It will be build in...

I'd like a panacea or whatever is closest. I've looked around, both in this forum and scoured through server boards. I'd like 64GB+ on an mATX board if that's possible. I.e. lots of cheap RAM for a small space, i.e. U-NAS 810A. What is the closest that I can get?

I'm new to FreeNAS, read most of the documentation, but still confused when it comes to selecting the right hardware. I have stumbled upon an offer for a - AMD Threadripper 1920x - Asrock X399 Taichi Socket TR4 I suppose these are good for a FreeNAS build for domestic usage, but I'd really...

Last year, when buying the hardware for my FreeNAS installation, I bought a pair of this memory: Crucial Technology 16GB 288-Pin EUDIMM DDR4 (PC4-19200) Server Memory Module, CL=17, Unbuffered, 2400 MT/S Speed, ECC, 1.2V, 2048Meg x 72, Dual Rank, x8 Based Now I would like to buy another pair...

A while ago I got the idea of replacing one of the two stacks of external hard drives I've got with a FreeNAS-server, the 2nd stack is used as a backup-copy of the 1st stack. So far I've got one component, which happened to be the most difficult part to get: A Stacker STC-T01. That's that huge...

Hello, I want to build new FreeNAS storage. The box have to be multipropose box. It will provide SAMBA, NFS, iSCSI as main services, and KVM virtualization to separate additional services from the main box (I know what, FreeNAS provide KVM support). The KVM services will be related to DC, DNS...

Hi! I'm building my second FreeNAS server. (Aiming at a low power NAS that can run 24/7/365 without I feel it's using too much electricity. My old NAS uses >100 W in idle.) Relevant to this thread is: Motherboard: Supermicro X11SSM-F CPU: Intel Pentium G4560 RAM: 1 x Samsung M391A2K43BB1-CRC...

Hello, I was able to get my hand on a 32 GB RAM ECC and on a great time, my machine was lacking some RAM. This RAM is not on the list of the compatible ones from my motherboard, what is the correct procedure to test if they will work? I normally run MemoryTest for 1 day, and if no errors are...

I wanted to have a FreeNAS system built for the basic purpose of storing data and having copies of that data so I can swap out the drive that died and continue with life. I don't need streaming or torrenting functionality. Uber basic FreeNAS I was going to put together non NAS sanctioned...

Hey guys, firstly, thanks for the wealth on information on the forum here. I'm getting ready to setup my first NAS build. I've picked up a free Dell SC440 server and would like to use this machine for the NAS. It comes with a Pentium D 2.8 GHz, which I think should be enough but the RAM is only...

I am going to build my first NAS with FreeNAS and I have done a lot of research on what hardware to get. Still, since this is my first build I am a little worried that I might miss something. The main thing I want to use my NAS for is Plex, and sharing videos with my family across households...

Hi all, Brand new to the world of FreeNAS - Haven't even bought the hardware yet. However, I just have a couple of questions, but my main one is regarding RAM... Ok, so ECC RAM is STRONGLY recommended, and it seems to be a topic that is debated quite a lot when discussing FreeNAS. However, I...

I've got an old N40L. It's been an awesome first server but it's a bit long in the tooth. Recently, it's been crashing on a semi-regular basis - it started off about once every few months and eventually once a week even. I chalked it up to ZFS on Linux issues and not enough RAM. After...

I am currently (for 48h already) burning in ten 8TB Seagate IronWolf 8TB NAS drives in my server using badblocks (all at the same time using tmux). Before that, I ran short, conveyance and long S.M.A.R.T tests on the drives. Initially I let memtest86 have two full passes on my RAM without any...

Hi all, I have been running a freenas machine for a while, and had so many problems that a lesser man would have given up, but it's so pleasing to see things when they start to fall in line. I have slowly fixed up all the problems, and spent ridiculous amounts of money doing so but now i come...

Dear visitors, this will be my first selfmade computer and I want to build something great and robust. :) It should work as a pure and encrypted NAS-system for storing my photographic landscape-works, music and everything else. Probably I want to run some VM's in the future - we'll see! Have...
