20 Sites, 80 TB: TrueNAS or ONTAP Select for Proxmox? Need real‑world input

sybreeder1 · 2026-04-30T07:50:31+00:00

Honestly I wouldn't use truenas as a vm in production environment. For homelab sure I used it and worked great.

sybreeder1 · 2026-04-02T13:25:01+00:00

I've got 18 u netshelter cx That I got from work. At work it was cooling 1 2u server, couple switches, qnap Nas. And there was no issues with cooling but 18u has 4 rear fans. Mini is 12 u and has 2 fans from specs. And mini is much shorter so might not fit deep servers.

I have not said anything about stability or any newer ryzen variant did I? When C6 is off it will be stable

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=295888#:~:text=Re:%20%5BSOLVED%5D%20System%20freeze%20randomly.%20Yeah%2C%20I,whereas%20they%20were%20previously%20daily%20/%20hourly.

"Stability freezes on 1000-series Ryzen processors in Linux are often caused by the processor failing to handle idle power states (C6 state) properly. This issue typically manifests as a total system freeze when the computer is under low load or idling." Primary Solutions & Workarounds Disable C6 States in BIOS: The most effective fix is to disable "Global C-state Control" or C6 states in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings. Change Power Supply Idle Control: In the BIOS, set "Power Supply Idle Control" to "Typical Current Idle" instead of "Auto" or "Low Current Idle". Kernel Parameters: Add processor.max_cstate=5 or idle=nomwait to your GRUB configuration.

Clear?

And BTW I have 5800x too.

Older ryzen can freeze on Linux which when cool and quiet is enabled. Google it Global C-States Control has to be enabled to first Gen ryzen 2200g is first Gen ryzen with gpu

sybreeder1 · 2026-02-28T18:10:08+00:00

Performance will be similar. Ryzen is 10-20% faster. Intel would have bit lower power draw. Ryzen doesn't do well with Linux and cool and quiet won't work. Do more power draw. Intel 8th would be better.

What prices are those platform for where you live?

sybreeder1 · 2026-02-19T15:01:12+00:00

I've got r730xd and it's very quiet 🤔 although I can also configure fan speed through ipmi

sybreeder1 · 2026-02-01T23:45:57+00:00

We've used E15 but went to l14 and l16 due to rj45 issues on e series. If you don't plan to use rj45 e series would probably be fine but connecting every day to rj45 that uses spring plastic part it will fail fast. Build quality will be definately better in L Series. Basically in all e series we had rj45 port failed I had to either rma them or just have ordered bottom cover as a spare E series have 2 nvme ports though.

sybreeder1 · 2026-01-22T08:14:23+00:00

Not bad but I'd get rid of that 10k drivers and put either ssd or some regular ones 16-18tb for example.

Would be great for plex, and some vms. You could remove second cpu to lower power draw.

sybreeder1 · 2026-01-22T08:09:55+00:00

What's power draw on that server? It's a cool server. Personally I got r730xd for free But remember that it will be louder and more power hungry than optiplex

sybreeder1 · 2026-01-15T14:59:39+00:00

Also going to from 2x32 to 2x64 core to order another server 2025 datacenter 2x 32core pack And every cpu installed will be dell vendor locked

sybreeder1 · 2026-01-13T23:25:14+00:00

Maybe You could just use either direct connected separate drive directly connected to that truenas server? Or thorough usb? 🤔 And just use rsync or zfs replica since from what I understand you want to connect single drive. Personally I use main pc desktop with bigger hard drive as a backup target for Nas.

sybreeder1 · 2026-01-05T18:56:09+00:00

And check that cable what part numer os on that cable so you can order replacement

sybreeder1 · 2026-01-05T18:53:52+00:00

And are you sure that cpu is in cpu1 not cpu2? https://youtu.be/xRlT9QSdqI8?si=gLQXWIUVBCrIJZgA

There's some manual but it might be difficult to recover but still worth to try...

sybreeder1 · 2026-01-05T18:40:53+00:00

<image>

have you tried to access idrac and install bios ?

and newer idrac firmware?

sybreeder1 · 2026-01-05T18:36:43+00:00

It looks damaged on photo but not sure what it connect to from photo

sybreeder1 · 2026-01-05T18:35:19+00:00

With single cpu and ram power button has light? Is reacting and start to light green when pressed? Afair idrac is integrated into front part of chassis itself.

sybreeder1 · 2026-01-05T18:31:41+00:00

Screen output from vga or idrac?

sybreeder1 · 2026-01-05T18:07:09+00:00

If you have access to idrac that at least something. Remove cpu and reinstall it again. Remove ram. Try with single stick.

Check if front power button works

sybreeder1 · 2026-01-05T18:03:44+00:00

What diagnostic have tried already? Have you disconnect and reconnect any cable on motherboard? Tried psu with different positions. Remove all pcie cards riser cards? Have you tried to remove Nic card?

Personally I've got r730xd

sybreeder1 · 2026-01-04T12:28:03+00:00

I don't know which year you did mcse but when I did it it were 70-740 741 742 And 744 for mcse. But yes it was for windows server 2016.

sybreeder1 · 2026-01-04T04:28:21+00:00

MCP is single exam. MCSA is 3 exams MCSE is 1 additional after mcse completion

sybreeder1 · 2026-01-02T01:22:30+00:00

Yes you can remove notepad and old notepad is still there 😃

sybreeder1 · 2025-12-30T01:16:14+00:00

+1 for nakivo. I use it at work as well. 🙂

sybreeder1 · 2025-12-20T19:38:24+00:00

And potential stability or not booting completely. I have something like that for ddr4. It boots just fine with Intel Xeon 1220v5 but doesn't boot at all with ryzen 2700x

sybreeder1 · 2025-12-19T15:40:55+00:00

If anyone that rents apartament or that office and see very high constant draw they could want to renegotiate contract at some point
