I rarely comment, but it was simple and informative. Will rewatch again for my new (refurb) build

@germancaperarojas4023 6 дней назад

Wow! Instant fan. Detailed and to the point tutorial, without annoying sponsors, ultra high tech stuff completely forbidden to the common pedestrian, or the rush to prove you are a knows-it-all geek. Never got it about TrueNAS until this video. For sure I'm going to try it bare metal, but I'm still looking for something rack mountable, cheap, quiet, and very energy cost effective like your build to install it. Off course, now I'm subscribed 🤜🤛

@mindshelfpro Месяц назад

You bought replacement parts without checking if the computer works first? The boot drive in TrueNAS Scale isn't used for storage so the 128GB SSD is fine.. even a 32GB SSD will be fine. This build could have been much cheaper.

@deepaknanda1113 25 дней назад

Looking for advice. Waiting for a few parts. I have a few spare drives laying around. 30tb - 8 tb - 7 tb. I have 500 g ssd for boot. Plan on Plex- OLLAMA - Adguard - keeping Home Assistant on separate machine, but want backups from both systems on NAS looking on which drive to put where. I have almost zero knowledge of NAS's - had an old one years ago.

@christopherhunt147 2 месяца назад

Tried Truenas along time ago. Community wasn't all that helpful. Insulting more than anything. Much prefer Unraid. To each their own. Both are good platforms. Got me curious about the Ollama. Going to look into that. Have home assistant (bare metal on a nuc) and jellyfin. Fun video!

@DigitalMirrorComputing 2 месяца назад

Oh no way mate, sorry you had a bad time with the truenas community... I was a bit luckier and never had any complaint! They were super helpful with all my problems! I like unraid too!! It's rock solid and you get to just add drives when you run out of space, which is something you can't do with truenas due to ZFS limitations! Thanks for watching mate and for the support!

@DigitalMirrorComputing 28 дней назад

Best comment ever!!!!

@beholder2033 Месяц назад

Great video, subscribed!!! The only note I would add is that the ram (if it is not ecc), and it is low cost or used ram, should be tested before making truenas operational as data always goes through the ram first and then goes to the disks.

@DigitalMirrorComputing Месяц назад

Thank you so much for the support mate! That's a good point about the RAM!! Unfortunately I got regular ass RAM lol! It's working fine so far but yeah dude you are right! ECC RAM FTW!

@beholder2033 Месяц назад

@@DigitalMirrorComputing You are welcome. On low cost nas without ram ecc I use OS like omv, unraid or just windows. If I have ram ecc I prefer truenas instead. In general with zfs ram ecc., with btrfs, ext4 or ntfs also ram no ecc works peacefully... and definitely a UPS in all cases. Most "famous" nas do not use ram ecc but with file system btrfs or ext4.

Research how to make the truenas boot pool 16GB when installing so that you can use the rest of the SSD as an apps pool.

@Sakistns Месяц назад

Niiice... What is the power consumption in idle mode?

@DigitalMirrorComputing Месяц назад

between 35W and 40W mate! Which is really not that bad at all IMO! :)

@wagnonforcolorado 2 месяца назад

I think this is a great use for an older computer. Does the HBA card add any features over the motherboard's SATA connectors? Also, do you use the 500 GB SSD you bought for anything other than running TrueNAS? I have a very similar setup, but I just used the motherboards SATA connectors and I have a 128GB SSD I installed TrueNAS on.

@SodalisUK 2 месяца назад

By editing the install script you can make the boot pool 16gb and then use the rest of the SSD as an apps pool.

@hiyo3 2 месяца назад

If you have enough SATA ports for your drives, then an HBA controller will be of no use. esp. when only using spinning rust. HBA cards are typically used when you have a ton of drives you want to hook up

@joshluvhalo Месяц назад

With the hba you could probably use some used sas hdds which can sometimes be cheap. I got some very used but perfectly functional drives @ $10 for 4tbs but I bought 10.

@nigelholland24 Месяц назад

Nice video question. Are you U.K. based your community page says London. And you set your time zone to London. So why do you say bucks instead of pounds. Thanks.

@DigitalMirrorComputing Месяц назад

UK based yes for 20 years! But I learned English with American TV and Eddie Murphy movies haha! I also think if I say pounds some ppl from other countries might be confused. "Bucks" feels more inclusive... Maybe I am wrong lol

@khanhthedag7269 2 месяца назад

Hi, I have quetion: "TrueNas Core and TrueNas Scale", why you use TrueNas Scale and not TrueNas Core?

@DigitalMirrorComputing 2 месяца назад

Core is based on FreeBSD and scale on Debian. Also scale has support for more apps and I have a feeling it's the direction IXsystem wants to go. Personally I don't really like FreeBSD myself, I find it a pain to fix when things go wrong. Debian is a lot easier! But thats just my opinion lol :D

@postnick Месяц назад

I literary just retired that exact motherboard last week. I had a i7-3770 and 32 gigs Of ram though.

@kirileman Месяц назад

Great video. But 40 W is no go for me (idle ?). I believe that a NAS like that can go down to 15 W idle (with the hard disks sleeping), but with very specific hw (psu is important too).

@DigitalMirrorComputing Месяц назад

Yeah man intel CPU is hungry! 😃

@kirileman Месяц назад

@@DigitalMirrorComputing yes. That's why I would a) sell mobo and cpu and buy 1151 + intel 7th gen or b) sell everything and buy something like an HP Prodesk 800 G3. Both choices should need less than 20 W on idle (with 2 hd, 1 ssd, 1 nvme and 2.5G nic) But that's just me.

@DigitalMirrorComputing Месяц назад

@@kirileman yeah mate totally get it! If consumption is an issue selling the whole thing and getting something like an elite desk is an option! Would be smaller rig also. I don't mind it and it gives me more juice to run more apps and AI (I might get a cheap GPU for it...)

@ashman2023 Месяц назад

@notaras1985 Месяц назад

How can such a weak machine support local LLMs?

@DigitalMirrorComputing Месяц назад

It does! Not very fast but it does! If you get a GPU it won't even matter because the model runs from the GPU

@notaras1985 Месяц назад

@@DigitalMirrorComputing so a 500-700 euros used rig, would suffice for local LLMs in eastern Europe?

@DigitalMirrorComputing Месяц назад

It depends on which llm you want to run. A 7B parameter model like codelama for example would run on that machine or run a VM with 4 vcpu and 8gb ram IF it has a GPU like an Nvidia gtx1080. I think I have a video about that
