Hardware recommendations for 24 drive truenas server

fightthisB to Data Hoarder@selfhosted.forumEnglish · 1 year ago

I was looking for the Supermicro 24 bay 4u chassis recommended in the hardware wiki. But I’m not seeing any affordable options on ebay so now I’m thinking to go with the 36 bay chassis and only use the front 24 bays. This also means the motherboard/cpu section of the chassis will be 2u.

What HBA would be good with this case and truenas?

What should I use for the motherboard/CPU/RAM? I have a few cheap ryzen desktop boards that work with ECC RAM, but thinking to buy something that might be more reliable.
