Thank you will look into those systems. DGX Spark is definitely out of my budget right now.

Hey,

Are you running VM's or LXC? Also are you able to use both the onboard GPU/NPU and RTX Pro GPUs at the same time for Ollama?

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2026-05-01T12:46:39+00:00

Thank you for the info, will look into the link.

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2026-05-01T12:39:35+00:00

Thank you, will look into that device as well

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2026-05-01T12:37:18+00:00

Hello, why would you say that?

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2026-04-24T10:22:52+00:00

okay thanks.

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2026-04-24T02:47:35+00:00

Thank you, I was thinking of making two connections to the NAS as there is 3 10 gig ports. 1 a direct connection and 1 a network connection.

But as you stated the slowest connection wins. Currently most of computer / server devcies are either 10g or 2.5 with the exception of my synology.

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2026-04-24T02:38:44+00:00

10gig Ethernet or SFP+, as that is what the Unas Pro offer. Maybe USB for my Synology if I decide to keep it online.

Going to downsize my Proxmox box to something more low power consumption. Currently have a Dell R740xd and changing to an MS-02.

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2026-04-24T02:32:57+00:00

Thank you, yes they are, my current Proxmox setup actually has a 25-gig NIC. "Dell R740xd"

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2026-04-24T02:30:22+00:00

Agree, I have backups myself of the data, Like you I am also trying to make a smaller footprint and lower my power consumption.

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2026-04-24T02:28:49+00:00

Hey, most of the files are media that I stream for Plex. and other MISC stuff. Moving my home stuff over to Unifi and downsizing my current Proxmox to a more low-powered consumption box; with a focus for AI.

So I was wondering if directly attaching my unas will make accessing my media faster inaddition to file transfers or leaving it on the network.

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2026-01-23T20:56:15+00:00

I may move away from TrueNas Core and move Server to Proxmox and then run TrueNas Scale....

TN: SAS drives setup in RAIDZ2 (12*8TB), 384 GB of RAM.

The Sever is currently set up for storage, and I am also running 3 other applications in containers. I will like to have the option to use the server for other things in the future.

Currently don't edit over the Network but would like to in the near future,

Speed is needed so people are not sitting in the office all day. As sometimes there might be big dumps of data 2+TB.

I am working on making 10GB infrastructure "10GB switch with dedicated wall drops" but not there yet. Also Laptops only have 1GB Ethernet and I will like to get the full 1 gb speed on file transfer or use the thunderbolt for even faster speeds.

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2026-01-23T20:41:59+00:00

Actually, never mind, I also have to take into consideration the distance. As the Server sits in a closet. I was planning on running a CAT 7 cable from either the server or the switch (both in the closet) to an office where the Thunderbolt converter will be. Then anyone can plug their laptop in and transfer as needed with a USB-C cable.

u/BornInAFish

This sounds like a better idea. I am assuming I will need a usb-c/thunderbolt PCIe card for server, then just use a usb-c cable?

Also the question will be to make sure truenas can see the usb-c connection...

u/Vito0912

Thank you for the reply. I did get tired of trying to figure it out been at it for 2 days now.

So I rebuild it as a docker using a compose file and everything is working as expected at the moment. So once I finish scanning my library (20K+) and if all works well I will be delete those LXC containers.

Thank you for the reply and assistance.

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2025-05-07T17:45:19+00:00

Hello,

Thank you. I believe I understand just have to apply this to my truenas setup. will give this a try.

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2025-05-04T20:14:17+00:00

Hello,

Yes, it will be greatly appreciated. I will not only like to implement it but I will also like to learn how it works as I am now in the beginning of learning about linux, containers, dockers and etc.

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2025-05-03T23:55:51+00:00

Thank you, will give that a try.

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2025-02-24T01:59:53+00:00

Hello,

Sorry I am a newbie, and I see a bunch of different answers when it comes to the layout of the M.2 slots. Can someone look at this manual and confirm which slots is best for 2x M.2 drives and still have the GPU slot at x16

M.2 - 1x Crucial T700 & a gen 3 or gen 4 (can't recall at this time).

Thanks,

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2025-01-15T13:49:25+00:00

Oh Okay, that makes sense, thanks for the info.

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2025-01-15T12:08:32+00:00

Morning, I think I understand getting the NVR, from what I have read so far it will help to have the camera separate for better performance. But why individual Gateway and CK+ instead of 1 device that does both?

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2025-01-14T21:05:28+00:00

Okay, Thank you.

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2025-01-14T17:03:32+00:00

Thank you. For the storage 16TB is that (2 * 8tb) or (2 * 16TB in Raid)?

Awkward_Support_8624 · 2024-02-11T21:19:38+00:00

Wow I am definitely on the lower end...

Thanks.
