Hey guys,
Been reading the TrueNAS forum for a while, lots of interesting stuff. I'm about to build mine and I'd like some feedback to avoid bad choices. It will be mainly used for storing data obviously, as well as a Linux VM to run self-hosted services. Maybe 1 or 2 other VM for lab and testing.
I'm going with 4x4To in RAID-Z1. I'm not sure yet how much I need, but 12To should be enough for a while. No ECC RAM, it's unfortunately out of my budget. I'll defintely get some when upgrading.
CPU: Intel Core i5-11600 2.8 GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L9i 33.84 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus PRIME B560M-A Micro ATX LGA1200 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Storage: Seagate IronWolf Pro 4 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive x4
Case: Fractal Design Node 804 MicroATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: be quiet! Pure Power 11 CM 400 W 80+ Gold
Total: €1385.04
Thanks
