Enough with my Computer let’s get into the nitty-gritty of my home lab, after this, I will be talking about my virtualization server Crater
Meet Tillamook the intern NAS

Specs:
HP Z420 Workstation Motherboard
Lapped E5-2650v2
Hyper 212 Evo (OG)
32GB 4x8GB, 1600mhz
ATI 2400 (This board needs video out to boot :/ lowest TDP card I could get for cheap)
3x1TB HDDs in a RAIDZ1 and another 1TB as a hot spare. 240GB boot drive and 120GB cache drive.
EVGA W3 400w
Corsair 200r
Now I hate most of this setup, But here is my road plan for my NAS.
I bought 2 16GB Optane drives to replace the %40 degraded boot drive.
I want to get an LSI 9211-8i so I can get 4 6TB SAS drives.
When the time comes I want to upgrade to 10 Gigabit, for those fast transfers.
Im going to swap the PSU in my main system and put my 650w in my NAS.
I started with using Truenas Core but I recently moved to Truenas Scale, because one uses FreeBSD and the other uses Debian. Support for Docker and hardware encoding, and a more versatile ecosystem.
Hope you have a good day, if you have a home lab tell me about it in the comments below.
Cheers.
It’s coming along strong, The things you listed are things I would suggest.
Also, When it comes to my NAS, I have 2 servers, one for bulk storage and one for immediate storage.
For Bulk storage, I have a Storinator Q30 !Turbo!
Xeon Gold 6230R
512GB 2993mhz
30x18TB Exos drives 3 RaidZ1s so I can lose up to 3 drives, it gives me about 486TB of usable storage.
2x32GB Optane Drives to boot.
It wasn’t cheap but it’s by endgame NAS.
For immediate storage im running a Stornado Turbo
Xeon Silver 4210
128GB 2933mhz
16×7.6TB Micron Pro 5300 SSDs
2x32GB Optane Drives to boot.
all running Truenas
All of its overkill but I just needed something that would just work.
