Hello all,
I've been a great satisfied user of Truenas Scale for a while now.
Over a year ago I built my server in the configuration as it currently is.
And since I'm not really one to do things halfway, I've handled it pretty well in my opinion :)
*Intel Xeon E-2256G
* Supermicro x12-STH-LN4F-P
* 64GB ECC memory
* Mellanox 10Gbe network card
* 8x 6TB HDD WD-RED = tank
* 2x Samsung Pro Nvme 1 TB = App/ VM data
* 2x Samsung Pro Nvme 1TB = Home folders
* 2x Kingston SSD 128Gb = boot drives
The 8 HDDs are neatly arranged on an HBA card.
The Nvme's on a LinkReal Pcie card.
All this is neatly packed in the silverstone cs381.
Now I'm actually stuck with the following:
For VMs and Docker/Kubernetes I think Proxmox just works better.
It is possible to upgrade my RAM to eg 128GB and run Truenas Core in a Proxmox VM, but since all my sensitive data is also stored here, including backups, etc., this just doesn't feel right.
(call me crazy or prove otherwise)
With the current setup, truenas never exceeds 20% processor load! whatever I do.
Streaming PLEX 4k movies with Atmos 7.1 files to the phone, the counter remains around 9%.
All in all, quite an overkill.
Since I want to build a new server for Proxmox, it seems to me to be a nice challenge to do this with a little less budget and, for example, use some older hardware.
But where the new proxmox server will probably be busier than my current Truenas server, especially when I also move PLEX to the proxmox server, it was my idea to convert the current setup into a new box and then a different motherboard + CPU to buy for my Truenas server.
When I look at nice used and affordable Xeon CPUs, for example, the 2667 V4 could be a nice option.
But then I have a bit of a problem that these X99 motherboards are all ATX or e-ATX and my silverstone fits a maximum of one mATX.
Until I came across Aliexpress.
Is his plate a good choice? what are your experiences?
I also have my linkreal NVME adapter from ali and it works great!
Awaiting your opinions and advice!
