Hi,
i am planning to build DIY NAS using trueNAS also.
I have several questions after reading your post.
Case:
- Silverstone DS380 (https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=452)
==> using SFX PSU easier to replace
==> not sure about the space is it too cramped ?
- OEM Truneas ( like yours)
==> seems bigger than DS380
==> using flex PSU, not easy to find replacement in case faulty
which one do you think is better ?
MOBO+ CPU:
with C3758D4I-4L, we can add more SSD for L2ARC and ZIL if needed. but will it have significant impact if we add this ?
the purpose of NAS is i want to be able to edit photo and video ( in the future) directly from NAS by adding 10GBe NIC
if i go with C236 WSI , the maximum RAM will be 32 GB, and when requirement of trueNAS is 8GB and 1GB per 1TB storage. will that be sufficient ? ( plan to use >=8 TB x 8)
will there be any significant performance difference for above mobo + cpu option ? ( i would prefer to go with cheaper option if it does not add any significant benefit)
I saw you have configuration :
1vdev 8 disk raidz2 and 2vdev 4 disk raidZ.
how was the read and write performance for those two configuration ?
I would prefer 2vdev 4disk as I can start using 1vdev as a start.
Thank you..
