In my Assessing the Potential for Data Loss there is a link to an article that explains some studies that actually correlate temperature and drive failures, with a few links as well iirc.

I think the future belongs to flash. No point to sweat about IX Systems inadequate cooling.

I am sure we will get some reports from @Constantin soon. This thing can run TrueNAS.

So. I saw that post originally, glad to hear it can run TrueNAS :slight_smile:

Honestly, this thing is perfect for many people’s requirements.

And although it’s multiplexing the bajeezus out of the M.2s, if really only has to saturate a 10gbe link.
