This was fun for me to watch - I just stood up my own TrueNAS Scale install and finally upgraded to ZFS from just a Windows machine. Level1Techs and LTT really had some good videos to give me the nudge I needed to get off my butt and learn this stuff. My setup is much more modest: 64GB Non-ECC DDR4 (32GB x 2), 12 x 2TB SATA SSD, LSI 9220 8i HBA in IT Mode, i5-12500T. I am also in the middle of setting up a full 3-2-1 backup solution using HDD. Storage prices have really dropped tremendously, and for the home user with less than 100TB in storage needs there's a ton of affordable options to do it yourself nowadays. Cheers, team!

[@jethroroy]

More colabs with people like Mark Rober please :) I just love these

[@anthonymiller2288]

Adding a small fan to an HBA is not as optional as one might assume. I was getting random parity errors in unraid until I added a small fan to the heatsink on the HBA. The disks checked out fine but kept getting errors, sometimes more, sometimes less. And now after adding the fan its fine. Similar to Gen5 M.2 controllers, sometimes heat just makes for errors even tho it still "works". Obviously case airflow will play a role as well.

[@TrogdorBurnin8or]

I have watched a ton of these, and finally this one is EXACTLY what I needed explored - a maximalist one-box NAS. Thank you. I will note that for those who aren't in this price bracket but need hundreds of terabytes, you can get a used 16-port HBA, the Adaptec 71605, for $40 plus a $10 aftermarket blower plus $50 in cables. And that you can get 18tb factory reconditioned drives from serverpartsdeals for $180.

[@wpgspecb]

Considering I just bought new 18TB reds with 5 year warranty for $240 USD / $319 CAD. That "deal" is not worth it.

[@LiveType]

Solid plan. Pick up 2 more spares than you think you need for those reconditioned drives. So if you're picking up 8 drives, my general guideline is 1 spare per 4 drives (Linus did 1 per 3 but I find that's overkill for home nas solutions) get 4 as spares (make sure you test all of them). I've used said reconditioned drives before and they seem to have more issues than new drives, so just eat the cost and get some spares. Also, make sure for the love of god you have fresh air blowing over those drives. Heat kills these things. I was a little surprised linus didn't populate the entire front of the case with fans. Maybe it's cold enough where that's unnecessary? I don't know. You want to keep them below 40c. 10-35c is ideal. I know the spec says 50c but that's too much to operate at 24/7. They degrade at significantly faster speeds above 40c.

[@Skyline_NTR]

Used drives are "fine" as long as you're ok with that level of risk tolerance... or buy so many that a few lemons (and the time lost rebuilding the array) will be an inconvenience at worst

[@wooshbait36]

I ain't reading allat lil'bro but good luck 🙏

[@astra6640]

​@@LiveType...given that in places like central-eastern europe where I live temps can get up to 30°C to 35°C in the summer these days, and that a good chunk of the US can be worse than that, that sounds like a really tall order unless you can put the setup in a very tightly air conditioned room and out of the light entirely... I'm not saying you're wrong, you're probably right, but... I think the 50°C rating is just a more realistic take here lol, otherwise people would think normal living spaces quite likely too hot.

I got all from different sellers of different countries that told they cared for them realy well and i also checked them and they were, no dust not realy any scratches nor damaged pcbs but they all died after a week of really light gaming, unity games (used them because i already felt not comfortable to run heavy games on them and instead went for unity games that were light on gpus and could even run on intel hd graphics) i also did not even overclock them. I tried contacting the sellers but they all did not respond or some responded but blamed me.

I have a nice project for you. Build a family (cloud) NAS. Neatly priced but extendable for later needs in storage (start with one or two drives, add more later w/o swapping the MB or CPU). Give your family an off-site backup solution (pictures from granny, thesis from sister at university etc). Have you own cloud, synced calendars, contacts etc. Easy to use software on the client side („good Wife Acceptance Factor“) and support not only for windows. Maybe a mobile support.

@@hiddeninthewires2308 Usecase said proper, rackmount storage servers aren't ideal (one literally in his bedroom, while the other one at the office), redundant PSUs as per the video are noisy af (see prior), and i'm guessing they went more for "future expansion" vs "fill er up right now" Going "proper" would prob cost them way more (redundant power lines either at home / office, dedicated server room with proper cooling, A RACK, etc). So, yeah, it would be ideal to get a 4U storinator, fill er up with 30+ drives (including spares)... but that's probably overkill idk

Having worked in a lot of workstation, server shops, I can definitely say adding the fan to the LSI / Broadcom HBA is a good call. They can definitely be ill served in a warm environment and burn out with just the stock passive coolers. Also most of them are really only spec'd to work in rack mount units that are okay with faster, noisier fans. Very much agree with the RAID config - RAIDZ2 split right down the middle. Has a bit of room to upgrade, thought with just 16 drives max, they can't really upgrade with another 6-wide vdev. Probably need to rely on the back up system then change our the config to like 2 x 8 wide RAIDZ2 and ZFS transfer all the data back then upgrade the next system or something - possibly spin-up an S3 object back before all that is being done - like with Backblaze, etc. Agree, nonetheless as going to 3 x 4-wide probably would hurt more just to save an equal amount of capacity in the future. Otherwise, it may just make more sense to ditch the current chassis to something larger if they ever need it. Also, TrueNAS Core should have worked fine, unsure why SCALE was used - Linux is awesome, Core is the more tested platform, and unless they need Docker or KVM VMs, it would work fine.

[@juliansbrickcity5083]

The case has room for 18 drives so a third 6wide vdev fits just fine. But the stupid thing is using a 16i hba in the build and only using 4ports of that and connecting 8 drives to the motherboard. I totaly agree with you on the truenas scale choice. But core is sometimes not good with bleeding edge systems and thats what LTT uses mostly. Probably the thats why they using scale because its what they used to.

[@BrianMWPG]

That is an insane build. Just the motherboard on the build in this video is almost as much as my entire initial build was. The case is a good value though - I went with a Rosewill rack mount style case that could hold 15 drives - if a case like this had been around I'd have likely used it. I built my FreeNAS (now rebranded to TrueNAS) in 2013 for $1,726 CAD with 6 HDDs - then upgraded it in 2016 with more ram, upgraded PSU, an HBA & 6 more drives for $1,572 - it's now been running for 10 years (in 2020 I also replaced the initial 6 drives with larger 8TB drives one at a time to increase the pool size - only took 3-4 days).

0:37 The remote setup with no port forwarding never actually got shown. This is the part I was most interested in seeing.

My Cooler Master HAP has six 6 1/2" drive bays accessible from the side panel, with trays you mount the drives to, but they slide in and have lock down levers and no pesky screws. Then in the front it has six more 6 1/2" bays, that can hold anything with a case, like CD/DVD drives media bays and whatever else they make for them. For storage drives they have trays too, and those slide in and out but and have quick lock/release front panels, and all six can have hot swap panels (came with one that covers 2 drives) mounted to them. That's a total of 12 6 1/2 bays, and with off the shelf 1 X 6 1/2" to 2X 2 1/2" converters it can technically hold 24 drives!🥳

Even my 4th gen i5 H97 build had an M.2 slot, with x2 NVMe support. :) Time goes fast.

I just really like it when you do server videos. I always comment to encourage more. And also by the way I can't believe he hasn't found a solution this far into his career. Like all my footage is on external hard drives and SSDs internal external all over the by freaking room. But I've only been added for like a year and a half or something. Storage is a serious problem. I remember my dad seen my problem.... And saying how he thought they had fixed that problem and that drives were way bigger now. I was like yeah it's fixed for a lot of people word documents JPEGs and maybe some PMGs few games or whatever. Like it's fixed for him for sure but this MacBook is 250 gig storage. Lol. Anyways encourage encourage love to see it and as far as big channels you know this one's my favorite.

10:04 @LinusTechTips I rly want my LTT x Noctua Screwdriver for 0.00$ :)

[@OhOhOhItzMagik]

I freaking love this!! I build Pcs with this amount of storage, duel Epyc and Xeon Systems in the Define 7 XL absolute beast of a case!! Also really great for Custom looping!!

[@adventuretai]

you guys should try using a server chassis with the ears off. Basically a tower case at that point and actually looks decent. I did that for the company i work at and everyone loves how they look cause there not rounded and look sleek as heck. plus it makes it super easy to work on later on.

[@rgracon]

Never heard of him, but always like a PC build!

[@BuzzKillingtonne]

I have the Fractal Define R7 XL case and it works great for this use case. Word to the wise, get lots of fans. With three 140mm fans and one 120mm fan on the front pulling air in over the drives and three 140mm exhaust fans on the top and back, most of my drives were getting up to 50°C. I added two 140mm and one 120mm fans on the other side of the hard drives and temps dropped down to around 30°C, but the two drives closest to the PSU get pretty hot still since there isn't a lot of airflow down there. My system has 16 5400-7200RPM drives installed, the speed doesn't seem to make a difference on the temps much in this configuration. Opening the front panel up can result in a 2-5°C temp difference on the drives with all these fans, even more so with fewer fans.

[@onlineconsumer4796]

Great build for Mark. I would like to see a small build for a home or small office with multiple computers and maybe with some security cameras.

[@romayojr]

love these videos! can you guys expand on how you configured tailscale maybe on another video? thanks!

[@billeckert6614]

Won't lie this video is very timely as I am literally planning to build out a NAS using TrueNAS, have the drives right now but going to go to Microcenter to grab the rest of the hardware in a couple weeks lol

[@billeckert6614]

Ended up using unraid because truenas wouldnt install at 3am and just wanted to be done lmao

[@Klinkertinlegs]

Love the use of tailscale. Would be nice to get a demo of using it though.

[@doctorno3912]

Love the fractal design define 7 xl. Use one in storage mode for my plex server and emulation box. Sick case to build on and easy to manage cables

I'm imagining Marks stack of external hard drives like how Destins (smarter every day) used to be.

[@iTzFarmy]

Title got me, makes it seem like you’re building him a PC, and not two storage servers.

Moving jumpers in a green motherboard is so nostalgic, just a little taste of the 80's and 90's =D

I just built my first pc on my own a little while ago (currently using it, it works!), was nervous as hell, trying my best to not breaks anything. And I damn near spit my coffee out watching Linus drop his GPU clip

Awesome video Linus.... watched it all the way through and didn't understand a word of it :D

[@TheGameBench]

Using the Meshify 2 for my server. If you're not at the level to rack mount everything, Fractal has some awesome cases for server duty. But it is a shame that they revised the drive mounting in the newer cases. It was much better in the original R7 and I wish they had kept it the same, but I'm guessing they did it to reduce costs. I like the DAS solution... for backup. Trying to find a 1U rack mount 4 bay right now to ditch my two USB3 external backup.

[@sanderdelft]

Dell R230

[@jonathanlowe8755]

Hello fellow Meshify 2 server person. I have my Unraid(formerly debian) server in one with a frankly unnecessary(for now) amount of storage.

[@MalteserLP]

Meshify is much better. The Define 7 XL runs hot with enterprise hardware

[@TheGameBench]

@@sanderdelft I'm thinking more along the lines of the QNAP TL-R400S. The R230 is a bit overkill just for running my backups. Plus it would need to be short depth for my basic rack.

[@TheGameBench]

@@jonathanlowe8755 Yeah, I'm only populating five of the bays right now in mine.

I'm expecting linus to announce he's opening a data center one of these days

I just set up TrueNAS Scale at home, would love to see more content about it!

[@OfficialSamuelC]

Must be cool to know you’re setting up one of the most valuable things to one of the most successful KZbinrs and King of KZbin ever. Anyone who values backups know how vital they are. Imagine something awful happens where the backup NAS saves the day! (Of course hopefully it doesn’t happen!)

[@inkredebilchina9699]

like that one person saving a Pixar movie for example. just because of backing it up. then ending up losing her job regardless of that fact.

[@MarkusHobelsberger]

King of KZbin? PewDiePie might have a say in that....

100 percent agree with your decision to move forward with 2 parity disks in a group. Nothing is more stressful than having a large RAID 5 (1 parity disk) sustain a failure and waiting for it to rebuild. The array is under heavy load to do the rebuild and if you built the array with all brand-new disks, this being your first failure, the rest of the disks are now the same age and equally susceptible to failure as the disk that just died. Where-as with the RAID 6 (2 parity disk), if a second disk dies while you're rebuilding, it's going to complete and you get to do it again, but no restore required :)
