Hi all, so I decided to use the IX-TrueNAS box at work (Deployed 3 VM's on it and using it for offline storage) and instead I am going to use the above stated server at my house as a TrueNAS box since the IX box wouldn't stream movies and I nrequire no where near that amount of storage. I wanted and it needed more horsepower. The server is a Dual Processor 20 cores/40 threads, 64GB ECC ram, I purchased one 480GB HP-SSD drive that will fit into slot one to run the TrueNAS OS and then I purchased 7/1TB HP 10K HDDs for $185 bucks from a guy off of ebay and will use that for storage. I don't need a cache drive since I have more than enough ram.
Anything else I am missing? Been fun running TrueNAS scale so far on the IX box, really want to see how it will perform on the big HP server.
