I am an electrical engineer working as a designer of optical transport equipment. My Home Lab serves demands of my home network and is a playground for testing software and technology learning.
Primary Server
- TrueNAS-SCALE-23.10.2
- Dell R720
- CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 0 @ 2.30GHz (1)
- RAM: 96 GiB ECC
- Disk Controller: H310 mini w/ IT mode firmware
- Primary Pool: Seagate ST4000 SAS RAIDZ1 4 x 4TB wide
- System Pool: Crucial CT2000P3PSSD8 Mirror 2 x 1TB wide
- Boot: Inland 128 GiB SSD Mirror USB FIT Flash Drive
Known that USB is not recommended as boot device. USB drive lasts about 2 years before failure but it does not consume SAS/SATA ports. The mirror keeps things running.
Backup Server
- TrueNAS-SCALE-23.10.2
- Dell Optiplex 5090 MT
- CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700 @ 2.50GHz
- RAM: 32 GiB DDR4
- Primary Pool:Seagate ST12000NM0127 12 TB x 1 wide
- System Pool: SanDisk 22013AA1F486 1TB x 1 wide
- Boot Pool: SanDisk USB3.2 mirror 2 x 32 GiB
The primary pool contains a replicated image of the primary server. It is a third copy of the pool. For now I accept the risk of total data loss.
