Hello together,
I registered here as a new TrueNAS user, at home I currently have a Synology NAS, but it is deprecated and will not get any (security)-updates any more, so thats why I plan to migrate to a DIY low power TrueNAS
The main use cases are to share movies/pictures on TV, and mainly for data storage.
For the new TrueNAS I have this storage chassis with 16x 3,5 Hot-Swappable drives:
https://www.logic-case.com/products...ve-bays-6gbs-minisas-+-2-x-525-bays-sc-4316s/
I will use at first 6 disks with RAIDZ2, but maybe in future to create another bigger VDEV to migrate from old pool.
My question is more about, hardware recommendations for building a DIY NAS
Requirements:
=============
- Not too high power consumption max ~40 Watt, maybe a Mainboard with CPU (SoC)
-- Supermicro A2SDi-4C-HLN4F: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/A2SDi-4C-HLN4F
-- 16 Watt, not enough SATA Ports for 16 bay?
-- Supermicro A2SDi-8C-HLN4F: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/A2SDi-8C-HLN4F
-- 25 Watt, not enough SATA Ports for 16 bay?
- 10Gb NIC LAN
- RAM 16-32GB
- Should the NAS / Board have a graphic card ?
- The Synology is most of the time in standby / sleep, is it possible the same with TrueNAS (power consumption), is it a kind of Wake-on-Lan, what kind of options are there?
I think the most is here described, some special case I don´t know how to realize many up to 16 SATA ports with the boards, always read about HBA cards, what are these, should I buy one, because the most mainboards have "not enough" SATA slots?
Any points maybe I forget?
Best regards,
peter
