TrueNAS Scale - Switching NAS On/Off Query

[derec85]

Hello,

I have installed on TrueNAS Scale on my first NAS Build comprised of the following:

FRACTAL DESIGN Node 804 Mini/micro ITX (black/Window)
ASUS PRIME Z690M-PLUS D4 Intel Z690 LGA 1700 micro ATX
Intel Core i5-12600K 12th Generation Desktop Processor
Crucial P5 Plus 500GB PCIe M.2 2280SS SSD
16GB DDR4-2666 UDIMM 1.2V CL19
Noctua NH-U12S redux, High Performance CPU Cooler with NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM 120mm fan (Grey)
EVGA 500 GD 500W Power Supply 80 Plus Gold

I need to install HDD's on it shortly and am considering Seagate Ironwolf Pro16tb 7200rpm Sata3

It is going in the living room and I am concerned about background/fan noise when reading etc

My question is. Are there any risks to the above listed components/health of the server if I turn it on and off regularly.

Apologies if this is a simplistic question but I'm just trying to look ahead.

Thank You in advance.

Thermal and power cycles will likely lower MTBF

Look for a different location where fan noise will not be a problem.
