I am going to replicate this set up with my first homelab setup as well, at first I was confuse that what should I use proxmox or trueNAS , now with this guide I can set up backup server from file cloud to this, Thank you!!
Maybe you said this and I missed it. But how many drives does this server take? And what drives did you use? I see a this server on eBay for $119 with 4GB RAMans no HD. So glad I found this. I’m dying to build out a farm just like this.
There are 2 versions. One with 4x 3.5"hdd bays and the other is 8x2.5" bays. I have the 4 bay version and have an external drive bay for 8 more. Its a little jank lol. I need to do an new video on the physical setup.
