Hello,
first of all, here is my setup:
Setup:
Backplane: BPN SAS2 846E1
Motherboard: X10SRL-F
CPU: INTEL XEON E5-2620 V4 (2.1 GHZ / 3.0 GHZ)
Ram: 64GB
Storage: 250gb SSD for OS
Storage: 2TB SSD for cache
Storage: 10* Toshiba MG07SCA 12TB (end goal would be 24 *12tb drives)
HBA: IBM 45W9122 LSI SAS9201-8i (Flashed with the P20 9211-i8 Firmware)
all conveniently housed in a Supermicro U4 chassis
Maybe interesting for this question:
The fans I use are 5 Be Quiet! BL044 Pure Wings 2 (3 close to the Backplane and 2 at the back) all hooked up to the fan headers of my MB.
I'm setting up my first Truenas server.
I was checking out the different settings in the Web Interface (the server ran for about 30mins) and than shut the server down.
I realized that the drive got quite warm in that time even thought they are not doing much work yet (no pool has been created yet).
I'm a bit worried because I read that optimal temp for a drive should be close to 35° and when I measured the temperature I got 45° even though the drives are just idling.
I wanted to ask if it's normal for my kind of drives to run that hot.
I also can't see the temperature in the Web Interface and I think this has to do with not yet having a pool.
Could it be that the fans will take HDD temp into consideration only after creating a Pool?
Can I manually ramp up fan speed to reduce temperatures?
Thanks for any help/advice/hint.
Have a nice day
Joscho
