Hi all, I am looking into finalizing my TrueNAS Scale build, and I am unsure as to what RAID settings I should use. This is my first ever NAS build, so I do not have much experience with RAIDs. The drives that I have for the machine are 6x 4TB WD red NAS "plus" drives. I also have a 250 GB boot ssd and threw in an nvme cache drive. At the moment I have one extra cold spare drive. That would make the total WD red drive count 7. My plan was to have 5 drives holding data with 1 hot spare. This NAS will stay at my parents house, and I go away to school for months at a time, so I am unable to get to the NAS to swap in drives all the time in case of a failure. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hi all-- I have a Unifi Switch Aggregation (a layer 2 switch) and am trying to disable RSTP on specific ports on the switch. These devices are being significantly delayed while connecting to the network because of the RSTP "config time" which happens every time the devices (Windows 11 clients) wake from sleep or turn back on after being shut down. In my internetworking class that I am taking in college, my professor suggested that I enable spanning-tree port fast which is meant for the Cisco devices we use in class. Is it possible and how I could do this on my Ubiquiti switch?

Figured it out - incorrectly installed AMD graphics driver.

Hi all, I recently got a Razer Blade 14 as an RMA replacement for my Razer Book since they don't make that model anymore (broken display cable on the Razer Book). The battery on this new Razer Blade laptop dies extremely quickly. Approximately 1% per minute while doing basic web browsing or just idling. Why is the battery draining so fast? What can I do to fix it? I have a 3 hour lecture and the laptop can't even make it through one class. Also I am running the latest Firmware that was released which was supposed to help with battery life -- it didn't. Any help is greatly appreciated

Ubiquiti Switch - Significant delay before clients conenct
PenguinMaster replied to PenguinMaster's topic in Networking
Hi sorry for my delayed reply. The device version of the switch is 6.5.59. I have the speed hard sent on both the port and the client. I do not believe the port is getting blocked by STP. I was not having a problem with throughput (the 10Gb), the problem happens when waking the computer from sleep or from shutdown. The computer shows that there is NO "internet" or local connection for at least 1-2 minutes. Ubiquiti WiFi 6 does not have this problem on my computer. As soon as I turn it on I am connected. Very strange. -
Hi all- I recently got a Ubiquiti Switch Aggregation (the switch with 8x 10G SFP+ ports on it). I am having a problem where Windows clients that are connected to the switch with SFP+ to RJ45 adapters are taking upwards of 1-2 minutes to start receiving any traffic. I am not sure what is causing this. I currently have all 8 ports of the switch in use. I am using 2x aggregated together for a 20G connection to another switch (no connection delay), 1x for our main router (no connection delay), 1x for a PoE switch (no connection delay), 1x for a NAS (no connection delay), and then then the 3 remaining ports are connected to 10GbE equipped windows machines. The SFP+ to RJ45 adapters are from fs.com and the NICs in the Windows machines are from ASUS and TP-Link, all using the same chip from Aquantia I believe. I am using CAT6A ethernet cables between the switch and the machines. Once each machine connects (which usually like I said takes between 1 - 2 minutes) they are able to obtain the full 10/10 G speed. Does anyone have any ideas of what settings I can tweak? Should I try setting static IPs for those devices?

Hi all- As I have posted about in a couple of other posts, I am planning a build for a home NAS. I just realized I have 32GB of DDR4 2133 MHz sitting around and I was wondering if it would be fast enough for that processor. (The Intel i5 9600 NON-K variant) If not I can always just get new memory, I just wanted to know since I already had that sitting around if I could use it. I am planning to use TrueNAS Scale.

RAM Clearance issue
PenguinMaster replied to PenguinMaster's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I already had the memory from another project, so I was planning on putting it in my system for the speed, RGB, and better timings/CL. I decided against it ultimately though because my system already works fine so its ridiculous to move the fan risk performance, and that memory says its AMD optimized not intel (in theory it should work anyway though). I'm just adding in an RGB strip for extra RGB. -
RAM Clearance issue
PenguinMaster replied to PenguinMaster's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
The memory I am upgrading to is the Corsair CMW16GX4M2Z3600C14. I noticed the sticks are very tall. Do you think the memory would clear a 120mm fan? -

Wouldn't the air still be pulled through the radiator? There are also 3 intake fans in the front which are not pictured. -
RAM Clearance issue

I realized I should have specified, this is still the old ram. The new ram is even taller. -
Hi all- I was looking to upgrade the memory in my computer to a new set, and I totally forgot how close this CPU cooler is to the ram. This is the be quiet! Dark Rock 4 CPU Cooler and it sits right on top of the memory. What I was wondering was is it possible to switch the CPU cooling fan to the other side of the cooling fin tower? Will this greatly affect thermals?

Hi all - I am currently building a NAS for my home and I had a Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO WIFI motherboard sitting around that I wanted to use for the project. The motherboard has WiFi on it and I was wondering since I know in Gigabytes BIOS there is no way to disable the WiFi, if it is possible to disable it somehow in TrueNAS? I do not want to have to get a different motherboard if I can avoid it.

Does the LSI SAS9300-16I need to be flashed into IT mode?
PenguinMaster replied to PenguinMaster's topic in Storage Devices
Great! Will try that -
Hi all- I bought an LSI SAS9300-16I and I was wondering if to use it with TrueNAS Scale if I would need to flash it to IT mode or if it is plug and play. I am seeing a lot of mixed information online. Thanks!
