Still have figure out how to PWM control four fans.~ + I've added two front fans on the motherboard side to provide enough airflow for the passively cooled Dell Perc H200. I've + also added another front fan on the harddisk side (at the top) to increase airflow across all eight HDD's. Temperatures + are much more stable now. - Add an additional mirror of two spinners for a seperate pool, maybe local Borg backups of the most important data. - Add an additional NVMe SSD. I now have an single boot volume, which is fine, but it would be more fault tolerant that way. - Add a mirror of two 2.5" SSDs to run my VM off. - Upgrade the 3TBs to something better (16TB, anyone?). Heck, upgrade _all_ drives to 16TB for 128TB RAW storage capacity (96TB in the current 2x RaidZ1 setup) + Additionally I might opt for a DAS enclosure with 4-8 more HDDs and hook these up through another SAS expander card. - Fill up the RAM slots for a total of 64GB Want to build a NAS yourself or have any questions?
