I have teh cooler master elite 330 (https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/legacy-products/cases/elite-330u/) case. Aim of the project is to have at least 8 SATA HDD’s (2.5 or 3.5 inch) in this case. Maybe even more, 12 or 16 could fit in the case with some fiddling. System will only run about...

Hi, got a few questions about external SAS JBOD enclosures: I guess it is absolutely mandatory to NOT create pools over enclosure boundaries. Otherwise a power failure of the enclosure or an accidentally removed SAS plug would destroy the pool? What happens to a pool located completely inside...

Hi Everybody, I'm in the process of building a new backup server of 48 x 10TB drives. I've been using windows high availability RAIDs until now. It's my maiden ZFS system, so be kind :) There is about a TB of data changed every day that is written overnight, for which I would like to keep 14...

Hey, I have a AVAGO 3108 MegaRAID controller, in JBOD mode. I have attached 3 new drives, but they dont show up, as new drives, in FreeNAS. I belive its because of the way the adapter works, that is has to MARK each drive as JBOD. When using StorCLI, // - storcli /cx show all Then I get all...

I tried to search for another thread regarding this, as well as Google... but everything i could find sent me to the web admin tools/disks dropdown list. I know my issue is likely related to an ancient 3Ware card, and that I might also have issues with the other 2 options I have. I'm installing...

Can someone tell me what controller to get please? I just got burned with a Supermicro controller that didn't support FreeBSD and thus wasn't supported on FreeNAS. It looks like there are a bunch of LSI JBOD controllers that will work, but I am seeing quite a bit of chatter out there about...

Hi, I just wonder if it's possible to achieve flashing the H310 LSI RAID card in JBOD/IT mode by placing inside the Dell R710 itself. I read somewhere else the people usually flashes it inside other machines/motherboards (at the moment I don't have other machine where I could install the card)...

Hi All, I've got a partial ESX Demo Lab consisting of 2 Intel NUCs, with 3.5GHz CPUs and 32 GB RAM each, and with ESX as the operating system for a 2 TB SSD in each box. I'm trying to demo things like vMotion that require shared storage, and am trying to figure out if FreeNAS is the best...

Hi We are thinking about buying a Dell R320 rack server to be our new FreeNAS server. We will want to use ZFS with no intervention from a hardware RAID controller. The server we are looking at, comes with a H310 mini controller which as standard is a hardware based controller which would cause...
