Here is the config of my build in 2016 Dec.
G4400
Asrock C236 wsi
32 GB Kingston ECC RAM
WD RED 4TB*8 (raidz2)
SilverStone DS380
SilverStone sfx power supply
APC UPS BR550GI
Daily usage:
Only to store the video file and personal data for 6 desktops, never to use the jail, vm or other plugins
the zfs pool is 90% full
In this 5 years, I did not meet any big trouble for the NAS. Freenas is a great os for DIY users.
However, I worry about the aging issue of the hardware, such as the c236 motherboard, apc ups and the power supply.
Is it worth to buy a spare c236, a new UPS BR650MI and a new sfx power supply?
Or to build a new nas to replace the old one?
If i build a new one, is it worth to upgrade to 10G network as well? I have no idea about the read/write speed if I build a raidz2 pool with 8TB disks.
Thank you.
