My current xpenology system running DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3 comprises the following:
Case: Fractal Design Node 803 (Case HDD cages are fully occupied, very little room for addition HDDs inside the case)
M'brd: Supermicro X11SSL-CF with Single socket H4 (LGA 1151) with Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1240 v6 @ 3.7GHz
32GB Unbuffered ECC UDIMM DDR4 2400MHz; 4 DIMM slots (2 x 8GB@2667MHz; 2 x 8GB@2133MHz)@2133MHz
8 x SAS3 (12Gbps) via Broadcom® 3008 SW controller; RAID 0, 1, 10 (occupied by 8 x 16TB Seagate SATA HDDs in Synology SHR-2 config; fully populating the SAS controller (2 x Ironwolf; 6 x Exos 16). Storage is currently about 49% full.
6 x SATA3 (6Gbps) via C232; RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 (No drives on SATA ports)
Dual GbE LAN with Intel® i210-AT
I/O: 1 VGA, 2 COM, TPM header
2 SuperDOM with built-in power
5 USB 3.0 (2 rear, 2 via header(s), 1 Type A),
6 USB 2.0 (2 rear, 4 via header(s))
Expansion slots: 1 PCI-E 3.0 x8 (in x16),
1 PCI-E 3.0 x4 (in x8),
1 PCI-E 3.0 x1
Synology's SHR-2 is roughly equivalent to RAID 6 (2 disk redundancy), giving me a Storage Pool of 87.29 TB, and a formatted Volume of 83.8 TB.
I am using the system for backup of PCs (onsite) and to provide remote backup of for my son's NAS via a 6.5 Km WiFi link. Also running a Plex server on this NAS. I will need to establish a replacement for Synology Active Backup (what backup solutions from TrueNAS are a suitable/better replacement?
I am unsure about FreeNAS storage config that would best be applied to this H/W config. Any Gotchas I need be aware of?
Also looking for any suggestions on how I could add additional storage in a separately attached storage device.
Thanks, Rod.
