    I’m very happy with my TrueNAS solution. My only complaint is that I can’t find a low cost ATX case with 10 to 12 front loading 3.5 SATA bays.

        I think an old gigabyte mid ATX. It maxed out at 16g of DDR3. It has 5? SATA ports plus I have a SAS card installed.

          Thanks.

          I just “retired” a similar board (it stopped booting 😕) - it was in an old Antec case that can handle about 10 drives, so I’m looking for something with good idle power. I expect to have to add a SATA card (already have one).

          How’d TrueNAS do for spinning down drives?

            Spinning down drives? As in keeping the RPM low if not in use? I have not monitored the drive spin since I’m typically using the server constantly.
