I use desktop PC parts from my older gaming PCs, so it pretty much looks like a normal desktop. The only “NAS” stuff I bought for it were the HDDs and SAS HBA card.
First put one together 5-6 years ago, and have been slowly upgrading it ever since. Never ending hobby of mine.
Ah, I see, just using the truenas software, not the hardware - fair enough! I have a zfs-based fileserver at home too, sounds similar to yours but I’ve been using Ubuntu. Very happy with it, no data loss in 12 years.
Sounds like a pretty beefy NAS for home! We have a truenas M40 at work, it has been pretty solid for the last 4 years.
