still don't like how flimsy connector looks and what the claims was, but one connector can be a nice to have, than many connectors.
To what connectors before that had issues by being flimsy, locking, pins, plastic casing or cables etc.
But still have to experience in hand or if there is going to be a look into it. Also if one is allowed to get some sort of feedback/updates from the collection of data, that I guess Nvidia is trying to collect about this "new connector". but everyone might want their own standards or for their use case that might be extreme.
 
Else here is jonny guru and eTeknix
PCIe 5, ATX 3.0 and why some adapters use x number of pcie connectors.

It would run at PCIe 3.0
 
The slowest link determines the speed. It doesn't matter if your motherboard supports PCIe 4.0, if the NVMe only supports PCIe 3.0. It'll not magically speak the newer protocol. So the motherboard will fall back to PCIe 3.0.

A NVMe on pcie3 x1 will have its bandwidth cut by 3/4 and will perform no better than a SATA SSD, it's not a sensible setup 

Yup!  Though I think you mean a mirrored array, like RAID1; striped would mean half the data is on one drive, half on the other, like RAID0.  If you did mean striped, enterprise harddrives are fairly quick, quick enough to handle a few 1080p streams (I think 1080p is a MB/s or two, an enterprise drive is likely to be have sustained rights of big files at least around 50MB/s, if not higher (depends on capacity, number of write heads, etc.  (also there's plenty of more knowledgeable people here concerned ZFS or TrueNAS, I'm just the one who happened to see your post in the sidebar lol!)

Here's what one of my Seagate Exos x10 10TB (ST10000NM0086) drive shows:

I believe writing a large file (i.e. recording a video file) is a sequential task, so you should be able to easily handle 4 or so streams with a WD red NAS, Seagate Ironwolf Nas, etc., whatever the models are called.  Probably more like 10, even on the lower prosumer drives like the regular Ironwolves or barracudas.  Of course, before you install everything in your wall and such, you can let the cameras run a few days inside to see what their file sizes, network use (if applicable), etc.  If you get cameras that use H.264, you should be good with a lot of mechanical HDDs and just a handful of cameras.  If they're MJPEG (motion JPEG), maybe not though...those use a lot more bandwidth because it's an old, inefficient capture method.
 
 
It is a non-raid card, which is a good sign.  However, because of the fact it's not an LSI HBA controller, I'd steer clear mostly because it's chipset might not work with the drivers in TrueNAS, as well as the fact that it's using SATA connectors rather than SAS.  SAS is a more enterprise connection for faster mechanical drives that's backwards compatible with SATA, more or less from what I understand.  So with something like this is around the same price, because it's using sas connectors, you can break each sas port out to 4 sata ports using something like this.  So for around the same price, you're getting better better gear, from a trusted eBay refurbisher (apparently their store is popular in the TrueNAS community) and expansion of up to 8 drives.  Win, win, win, assuming you can return the product you ordered.  One reason I linked specifically to that eBay seller is because they make sure to flash the HBAs (or host bust adapters) to IT mode (initiator target), which is needed to bypass any RAID stuff and give ZFS full access to the drives.

 
 
Ahh perfect then!  After you get the server running, the IPMI isn't as important, but good if you're on vacation and something borks and you need to reset the server, especially if somebody at home needs access for something (also if there's a power outage, you can turn the server on remotely once power is returned).  You can always access the TrueNAS Core web gui remotely, so those duties aren't connected to IPMI.  Honestly, as long as everything is properly backed up to the cloud, disk, VHS, whatever I guess, just try it with the current board and processor if you just want to get your feet wet, and upgrade down the line if you wish.  Technically, the longer you wait, the better stuff will be for a given budget lol!
 
So if you wanted to wall everything off below the dashed orange line, you'd have to run everything from a separate server running pfSense.  pfSense needs to be in between your internet and your network to properly manage it.  Generally people recommend having your network router run on a completely separate device for security reasons, but I think for a homelab, you'd probably be fine virtualizing it on TrueNAS core.  But I'm just giving you ideas about how far you can go with all this techie homelab stuff, maybe if you build another NAS down the line, your current build could act as a pfSense appliance.  If you did Virtualize pfSense, you'd have to pass your NIC to pfSense and somehow redirect the NAS's traffic through pfSense (not sure if this would be done virtually, or would need a NIC with enough cables for you to physically put a cable from a built-in or separate NIC to the NIC passed through to pfSense...it kind of gets complicated from what I know, so don't get too worried about pfSense just yet).

One thing to note about your diagram, though, do you really want your NAS walled off from the rest of your network?  What about running a plex or other media server and watching your movies on your consoles or phone?  I wouldn't worry too much about security stuff just yet; unless you happen to be Lara Croft or Nathan Drake, and some hackers are attempting to take down your security system for their raid on your valuables, the worst case I can imagine is someone trying to disable your cameras physically...like with a rock or spray paint.  Your biggest issue network/internet-wise would be accidentally leaving something exposed to the net, but that's not too hard to prevent.  Just make sure you don't forward any unnecessary ports, and when necessary, know how to protect the devices you're allowing to have ports forwarded from.  Running your pfSense device on another computer just helps to make sure something accidental setting on the hostOS doesn't muck things up.

Oh and when you setup your stuff, don't hesitate to message me for help.  I'd be happy to answer any questions.

GOG is CD Projekt's storefront, so if you buy Cyberpunk there, not only is it DRM free, none of the money is going to Epic.  They launched GOG in 2008, iirc.

Could be crap, but man, getting to that sweet, sweet 2k milestone in terms of steam games is helped a ton by FREE 

Cannot beat free!

Drones The Human Condition is FREE right now on Steam.

Free to keep when you get it before Nov 1 @ 1:00pm.

Epic is giving away a $10 coupon again, but sadly, this coupon doesn't regenerate like the previous coupons have...(cue a crying @Paul Rudd)

 
That being said, it's still nice.  I just used it to get a discount grabbing Crysis 2 and 3 remastered, since I already bought Crysis remastered and kind of want to run through them again.

ah, I really only use it as a giant storage bank.  I can see the value of those things for your situation, though.

I recently reinstalled windows because of some issues and, for whatever reason, I'm having issues with DOOM 3, specifically the Microsoft store version (it's the one you'd find with Gamepass, though I own it since it's a Play Anywhere title (support them, they're the future of gaming!)).  I've played a number of titles without any issues; in fact, this new build of Windows 11 is running better than all the previous builds I've had.  But DOOM 3 isn't happy, and I'm trying to figure out why.  Past a DDU, anyone have any clue what's going on?  I'm on Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview Build 22471.  Attached is what I'm seeing.  I've reinstalled the game, changed monitors, edited config files, etc. I'll try DDU right now, and I'm open to it just being an issue with drivers or Windows 11 that will be fixed, so ohps, oh well.  Funny enough DOOM 3 is a game I still have on DVD, and backed up recently, but I don't get those cheevos in that version, now do I? 🤪
 

Agred, I still have my system running 12.0.

Personally I have no problem signing up for their newsletter because I am geninely interested in their company. If I happen to win then oh well!

Gotta say, I really like my FreeNas system.  I'm still running it on 11.1 U4, which does everything I want.  Not sure if the 1 in 5936 chance I'll win is worth the personal data I'd be giving them, though.
