I just bought a brand new Mini XL+ (Amazon says: TrueNAS Mini XL+ Compact ZFS Storage Server with 8 + 1 Drive Bays, 32GB RAM, Eight Core CPU, Dual 10 Gigabit Network (Diskless)). I put in 2 https://www.newegg.com/seagate-ironwolf-st10000vn0008-10tb/p/1JW-001N-00023 and 2 https://www.newegg.com/red-plus-wd101efbx-10tb/p/1B4-005X-001D5 in the top 4 bays. It is louder than my desktop-style servers, so the fans are definitely doing *something*.
I install Scale right away because I'm used to linux and docker. I have done almost nothing else. No-one is using the system at all; the mean for CPU idle is 96%
The disks are burning hot to the touch. Like, the interface says they're at 55-66oC but there's no obvious hot air blowing out of the thing and the sides feel cool, so I popped a drive out and it almost burned my hand!
Ambient temperature is entirely comfortable; my "server room" is adjacent to my bedroom and there's no door between them. I don't actually know the exact temp in there but if it was higher than 27oC I'd be very surprised.
This is not what I expect from fresh hardware! What is going on? I could do the IPMI thing from one of the posts I linked, but, *really*? I shouldn't have to do that on a fully-supported piece of hardware.
