I'm so happy to see you bought yourself a newly upgraded PC! Hopefully this will encourage you to make more videos in future. I rarely skip an upload, Victor! ♥
Learned that trick managing multiple TrueNAS hosts - don't replace HDD straight away when it fails. Better insert the replacement drive into free slot (you need to have one beforehand), do rebuild and only after that remove the faulty one. Creates less chances for an error. Also when drive haven't failed completely yet, it's easy to identify it with "dd if=/dev/drive of=/dev/null", you run this command and the drive starts blinking constantly (usually others blink sporadically).
I also just recently bought a couple of 10TB SAS hard drives of the same type cheaply on ebay and they run wonderfully :) I'm already looking forward to the video with your new PC
Nothing beats a simple Linux box for storage. No magic, no complicated controllers, all in software and all disks exposed directly to the operating system. I like my hardware raid, too, but megaraid cli is insanely complicated.
Never create a ZFS pool using the sdX devices as they can change. You can export your (working) pool and then import it using the /dev/disk/by-id so it will use the unique serial numbers or WWN.
look at the intel 12500t or the 12600T 35 watt max is 90watt because they are used in a thinclient witch is 6 cores 6 threads also look at the ASRock B660M PRO RS LGA 1700 Intel B660 SATA 6Gb/s DDR4 Micro ATX Motherboard its ddr4 3200 based right now board is 90$ US and the the processor on ebay is like $150

i like your joke about bandwidth on the highway
enjoyed this video! Great to see how excited you are to build that new pc, sounds like a beast!
Whoof, what a BEAST of a PC, mate! Looking forward to seeing that monster put together!

Duuude, that new computer is the Muts Nuts! nice one buddy! and thanks to Patreon / PCBway
You can see which drive has which SN by using: ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/
Cool to know you probably transported a bunch of the HGST drives I'm running as well.
Rack console is handy.

Nice server. Does it run -crysis- Quake 1?
If your current storage server is over powered, you can empty one of the sockets and eliminate that power draw.
But half of the pci slots and half of the memory slots are connected to the second cpu.
@@victorbart Good point. Perhaps you can park/disable cores in the bios.
Another great video thanks! I'm confused by the no serial number comment though - you can see the drive serials at the 5 minute mark in the list?
Different numbers then on the hdd sticker
Update your stickers good sir!@@victorbart
I like that case
Victor, what approx. power (in kWh) does your homelab consume in a month?
