hi, i'm new on the forum and i'm on the first experience on server grade electronics. i've a intel sr2600urlxr with 2x xeon5670 96bg of ddr3 ram 1333mhz. it has an integrated sas/sata raid controlled SROMBSASMP2 (firmware version 1.40-232-1007) from intel and an active backplane. when i started...

i have an old computer that i wanted to turn into a freenas for my home. problem is it has an amd fx processor which is very power hungry and heat intesive. so turning it into a station would require to replace the motherboard and processor and at least reading around i need at least 16gb of...

Hello FreeNAS folks, I am contemplating doing a built with the following characteristics (this is for a work environment, mostly datasets): - Intel R2312WFTZS system (dual Skylake with 12 sas/sata bays)...

Hello Everyone, I'm currently planning out my first FreeNAS build. I've built several general purpose and gaming computers in the past and am enjoying learning more about what hardware makes a great NAS. I'm attempting to build something as silent as possible and am hoping to get some advice on...

Hi, I'm looking to build a new freenas system. For my current purposes an i3-8100 seems to be perfect. cheap, 4 cores, ecc. Ideal for a home server and several jails. Would it make sence to go the extra effort to pick up a 8100T (harder to get) which has a lower TDP for power efficiency (does...

I have recently put together a small NAS from the following components: Motherboard: DFI-ITOX BE171 (AMD AMD RX-427BB SoC) DRAM: 2x Micron 8GB PC3L-14900S 1866 MHz DDR3L SODIMM SSD: Micron M600 MSATA 64GB RAID controller: Startech PEXSAT34RH (Marvell 88SE9230) HDD: 4x 3TB HGST (HUS724030ALE641)...

Hi, I'm trying FreeNAS 11.1 on a new bit of kit, ASRock 360M Pro4. According to this thread and bug: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/support-for-i219-v.41608/ This support was merged back in 9.x days. but dmesg shows me "pci0: <network, ethernet> at device 31.6 (no driver attached)"...

Hi, i'm trying to configurate my freenas to work on wi-fi and bsd cannot recognize my wifi card. Im new in BSD but there are few step's that i did and i should works but still not. pciconv -lv none5@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x80708086 chip=0x08b38086 rev=0x83 hdr=0x00...

Hi, I've seen some discussions about the Intel 900P and ZFS and I didn't understand something: Yes, it could be a great SLOG, but most of the time, SLOG only uses few gigabytes, and the smallest 900P is 280GB, so if I buy this card, should I partition it for Slog 10GB (for example) and L2ARC...

I’m planning on building a system with at least 12 hard drives, requiring at least 12 sata ports. The CPU that I’d like to use is E5-1620 v4 So this makes my options of supermicro motherboards to be one of these: The maximum number of sata ports in all of them is 10 ports. So I’m going to...

As many of you have probably heard, there has been a significant breach in the kernel of Intel CPUs and some AMD processors. What is being done to remedy this, as the vulnerability is a hardware one and only can be band-aided until new hardware is released. According to Intel, it is the "job"...

Hey everyone, New to posting on the forums, however I've been reading a bunch of threads, studying the hardware guide, and following a few builds (namely Stux's Norco Build). My primary use of this NAS will be to backup and store my personal media collection with enough redundancy that I...

I have one Supermicro set up that I am attempting to resurrect. Everything works great except, regardless of which version I try, it won't recognize the the Intel HBA in the chasis. The other network adapters are fine, but after seeing 10G networking I really want to get things pumping through...

I just learned that the Intel DC S3710 firmware can be set to use 512e sector size (the default) or 4K. Intel calls the setting the "physical sector size" but it seems to me that you're really changing the logical sector size. Terminology aside, is there any benefit to doing this on a SLOG device?

hello! I've been seeing this problem a lot on other forms but nothing saying a fix or anything. I have a i3 6100 as you read above and my motherboard is the ASRock - H270M-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard I don't see why it won't work with FreeNAS. I'm booting off of USB (yes I'm using two...

Hello, This forum really helped alot ! But I still can't make up my mind on what is the best solution for my first FreeNAS build. I want to use my NAS for storing files and Plex Server for maximum 2 video streams at once and maybe one small linux VM just for testing and playing. I think i...

Hallo Forum, ich möchte mir ein NAS zusammenbauen und habe 2 Boards zur Auswahl, bin aber unsicher welches ich nehmen sollte. 1. ASRock J3160-ITX oder alternativ 2. Asrock QC 5000 itx Zunächst soll nur Freenas mit Plugins darauf laufen...später evtl. mal auch was anderes (Server, Mediaplayer...

So... I've recently replaced my FX8350 with an Intel CPU. I now have a full PC worth of parts from upgrading over the years, a spare AM3+ motherboard, as well as an old free PC I got from work. So I wanted to make use of this. I thought of setting up a PC for virtual machines, as well as a...

(Crossposted to STH forums) I have a server with an LSI 9211-IT HBA, Intel 910 SSD, and Chelsio NIC. I was updating the HBA firmware. As usual I checked no other RAID/HBA/LSI cards in the machine, so I flashed the HBA. It now turns out that the Intel 910 uses the same chip internally -...

Hi everybody, I'm sorry for my english, it's not my first language. I know that it sounds weird but I had to "transform" my gaming rig in a NAS until I got money to buy "real freenas hardware". I removed the graphics card, put in some HDDs, and now I got a i7 4770k, 8 GB RAM, 5 HDDs and a...
