Hello,
I just finished building my first FreeNas box (9.2.1.7). I have one volume and one zfs dataset set up. Mostly media files at this point. I am using a silverstone ds380 8-bay case. Currently with 4 x 4TB WD Red NAS drives. Searching the forums (and wd website) its sounds like the drive temperatures should be around 35 degrees Celsius. A couple of the drives are running around 39 idle and 41 with activity. These are the 2 two middle drives of the 4. The 4 drives are stacked, 4 in row. I can separate each drive with an empty bay to help air flow, but would like to have the option to use all 8 bays if needed.
My question, has anyone else used this case and/or hard drives from western digital? Did you have any issues with HD temps? At this point no plugins are installed and running. Just a couple shares going to iTunes.
Here are my specs.
ASRock C2750D4I
1 x Cruical 16GB ECC Unbuffered Ram chip
SilverStove DS380B Chassis
SilverStone SFX 450W 80 plus power supply (recommended for this case)
The SilverStone website has this cooler for the case...wanted to get the communities opinion before i picked one up. Has anyone used this cooler before and would you recommend it?
EDIT The cooler from SilverStone is a CPU fan, just noticed that.
