They're not. I had the case for 2 weeks and tried literally everything possible, this case is crap. Everything overheats in it. As you can see, the HDDs fit so tight next to each other, there is zero airflow. The fan literally blows against a wall. Even when just sitting at idle, temps were too high. I returned it.

[@comp20B]

​@@dasoul3710 Sad. Poor testing my them. All they needed was to have just a bit of a gap to allow for airflow. I am sure Synology put a lot of testing into their spacing of drives, so I'd have to do and check mine to measure the gap size they use on small NAS devices.

[@RobertPendell]

I think I see straight connectors on that backplate. I believe that voids the warranty on the backplane if damage happens because you risk damaging it as a result. They want you to use only 90 degree sata connectors on that end. I do see a mix of them.

[@kowalja6]

Thanks for the video. What HDD temps are you hitting on idle and under sustained read/write load?

[@ChuckNorris-lf6vo]

With this big Fan right above the HDDs the temps should be fine. Does the TrueNAS have fan control ?

I have a very similar setup. The first thing to do is to remove the front plate to allow the front fan to actually work. Still, I have a problem with the M.2 cache drive overheating.

[@Leoniums100]

Thank you for the video. I would like to ask. What cpu and mobo for ecc? Why do you need so much powerfully cpu and such ram for nas purposes?

[@MichaelElfial]

I wonder about the temperatures of the drives, the CPU. I built myself a few NAS/PC-s with CFI a7879, they are all different, but I always used some low power CPU - preferably 35W - T/E series intel/amd or celerons (~50W). I built them one by one through the years, so they are an "interesting" mix - the oldest is from sandy bridge times (celeron 847). The temps seem mostly dependent on the model of the HDD, the Reds are colder, seagate iron woolfs not so much. Now I look at the relatively newer exos for archive oriented build, I have a few of their predecessors and while "archive" seagate drives are slow for huge bulk transfers, they were ok temperature wise (not better than reds, of course). I have also a few HE drives and they are the hottest ones. I am always using a couple of the "NAS"-es as universal servers, so I had the chance to check out how they behave under various loads... Well, I have been eyeballing this case, but it seems a bit too crowded, but 5 is better than 4 hard drives, so I am still wondering if it will be fine for my taste.

[@sevezart]

+1 for hdd temps

[@gchemello]

Wondering as well if any of you can list their HDD temps, i did my self this same NAS, and the HDD temps looks a little bit higher for several factors, i an using WD RED PRO 10TB disk, 5 of them, and the drivers on the middle usually have temps around 50/52C the ones on the border around 46/48C, without a huge load, just regular use connected to a nextcloud server, just for local use. The lack of air flow in this case and the tightness of the disk without any air gap to get air flowing from the front cooler makes them impossible to cool down, if you have this, try and remove the front cooler just to see what i am talking about, put it back in place when finished, at least some air need to be flowing. The case looks pretty cool, but i think i am changing the case to have a better temp environment. 2nd question was regarding the wattage consumption, is there any suggestion? Already try and config the disk to sleep when possible, but with a nextcloud server attached, this seams impossible to be happening. Thinking about moving this away from it.

[@sevezart]

@@gchemello thanks for sharing your experience, appreciate. Yeah, 50/52 in idle is just very high for hdd. Not considering this case for purchase anymore. For hdd the optimal temp is under 40, up to 45 max under load. Anything above this range really shortens the lifespan of the drives.

[@gchemello]

Thabk you for the quick reply ! Yes those high temps got me thibking about changing the setup to a new case, at least to try out the temps, i dont know if you or any here could share their temps, i had to go to the shell to get the temps, otherwise they are not showing on the regular info storage page, just getting the temp for the ssd.

[@techwithyuvi3067]

Nope no issue at all, I actually messed up and in the rush to install I installed the PSU upside down with the fan outlet ending up on the inside of the case. I flipped it around so the PSU fan exhausts out the side of the case and it still fits fine.

I'm always trying to understand, why people are putting RGB stuff into NAS/server. In general it just produces a little bit more heat and consumes more electricity, so... why?

In the location I mounted the SSD, you could put another one directly on top of that which will still allow the cover of the case to slide in smoothly. You will need to 3D print a mounting bracket or two way tap 3 SSDs together in one thick stack. Also, under the PSU, you can add two more SSD but those will just sit there loosely.

Fan placement is really stupid considering that hot air rises naturally and the fan has to fight that..

[@HomerChiotakos]

ECC RAM?

[@vicknet5159]

Can I install windows?

[@supernoob5217]

Looks cool. The machine specs to overkill. wkwkwk install virtual machine maybe better. You can use this machine for another server too.

[@philiprobar]

Remove the metal face plate (there’s mesh behind it) and you’ll get better cooling according to other reviews.

[@techwithyuvi3067]

In my unit, the mesh has large enough holes to cater for a large volume of air to pass through. I cannot comment on previous iterations of this case but mine is working great 😊

[@2917mushtak]

total cost????

[@0xdeadbeef_def]

Expensive NAS

[@HaimPeretz]

I'd probably replace this cpu the pro version for ECC support and also use supported ECC ram. Also get Quadro p600/1000 for Plex hardware transcoding or 10G network card to take advantage of the higher speed from raid

[@techwithyuvi3067]

The motherboard is a 2.5g port but my home network is only running cat5e so I don't have a need for a 10g NIC.. I am only streaming to one TV and the NAS is hardly used to access files daily. I'm also not sharing my library externally, I'm the only media consumer in this house 😅 I also stream locally at full quality. My movies I stream at 4k and tv shows are just 1080. My TCL TV only has a 100mbps NIC and even with that I'm still streaming 4k with no issues.

[@HaimPeretz]

@@techwithyuvi3067 I'm fully understand. What about the lack of ECC? This very important especially in zfs, raid and high capacity of storage

[@techwithyuvi3067]

@@HaimPeretz ah yes, you make a good point :) My Ryzen 7 5700G says it works with ECC (but officially unsupported) Only the PRO versions officially support it. I reckon I'll get some ECC and run some tests to see if it works. Are you using ECC? What type brand type are you running?

[@HaimPeretz]

@@techwithyuvi3067 For now still not. I using Openmediavault with one disk and smb share. I plan to buy amd b550-i motherboard with Ryzen 3 pro 4350g cpu and build TrueNas scale inside this case: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3LIqoSmZpZ-aKc

[@philippvelimirovic2284]

Imho: People massively overestimate the need for a dedicated or even iGPU for privately used (Truenas) Plex Workloads, at best it might be interesting down the line as an upgrade for av1 encoding. I have a xeon e-2136 build and an older i5-3470, both running scale. Locally the TVs do the decoding anyway and even 150mbps Video has been a non issue. Transcoding wise (for the few times I stream something to my phone) the i5 build goes to 34%CPU utilization and the xeon hovers around 8% even passively cooled it hardly reaches more than 8°C above ambient. Sure using a GPU saves you CPU load when transcoding but for most of us the CPU sits Idle all day anyway, buying a dedicated GPU (that also increases idle Power Draw) just does not make sense unless you run your private streaming service and encode multiple streams at the same time for multiple users. This of course might be more pertinent to those of you who run a Blue iris or similar CCTV setup. Regarding the NICs: I do some 4k editing and decided to hold of going above 1G for the time beeing, cost wise I found it better to have a nvme SSD (1TB from crucial costs just 70€ right now) in the editing machine that holds the windows Offline files from the share, working that way gives you superior performance anyway as even with something like a 2.5 gigabit Network the true bottleneck realy lies with the HDDs.

[@birdpump]

that could also run as a small server for home assistant or perhaps a vpn

[@techwithyuvi3067]

That's my plan, I have lots of TUYA branded products that's working fine now through my app but once I set this up fully I will start to integrate HA and PF Sense

[@KamilKulisFloyd]

Where did you put your Samsung 980?

[@techwithyuvi3067]

It's behind the motherboard, this motherboard has two m.2 slots. On the front and rear

[@EdvardssonTech]

Do you have any experience with ecc memory on this motherboard?

[@thebeatconnect1]

The AMD G series don't support ECC only the X and G Pro. I learnt the hard way when I brought 5600g and it had no ecc support. Swapped my 3700x on my gaming pc with the 5600g. So, now I am using 5600g for gaming and 3700x for virtualization and Nas. I had a gtx 650 lying around which I used to install proxmox. After, I removed the GPU and I run the Nas headless and access it through the proxmox web gui

[@EdvardssonTech]

@@thebeatconnect1 ohh yeah that's right. Are you able to boot without a gpu installed with your 3700x?

[@thebeatconnect1]

@@EdvardssonTech yes you can boot fine without GPU. If I then want to access the BIOS to make some changes that's when I will need to add a GPU. Also, with ECC make sure the motherboard support it. I went with an asrock b550m as asrock have better ECC support on their motherboard for AMD compared to other companies

[@EdvardssonTech]

@@thebeatconnect1 I discovered that too that it's quite difficult to find if the motherboard supports it or not. I'll probably go with the ASUS ROG Strix B550-I Gaming since it easier to get in Sweden than an asrock motherboard! Thanks for a great video by the way!

[@CurtisHowell]

This setup can easily be done with a 128gb (or less) boot drive, 4/8gb of ram, and an I3 or less. Install the OS and setup raid. Create a share and you're good. If all it is is a network share you barely need anything for that.

[@Maisonier]

You can do a lot of stuff with Truenas... Including Virtual Machines

[@techwithyuvi3067]

Yeah sorry my title may be a bit misleading because this is not just a NAS. My main aim was also to create a really powerful hypervisor.

[@CurtisHowell]

@@techwithyuvi3067 For a hypervisor this is perfect. Great build

[@CurtisHowell]

@@Maisonier I realize that...

[@donaldnemesis393]

This moment when someone's NAS faster than your gaming pc

[@alexandergross7132]

U know that the 5700g only supports pcie 3.0 so anything pcie 4.0 will work only in 3.0 speed

[@techwithyuvi3067]

Yup, I also connected the Pcie 4.0 NVMe into the PCIe 3.0 slot on the motherboard haha. Im not to fussed, I got the stick for cheap on Amazon anyways.
