    TrueNAS home NAS setup zPool recommendation

    so, basically, I am puttin 16 1TB drives into a Dell r720 running TrueNas. I care more about redundancy and capacity than I do IOPS since the most intense thing I will be doing is having a single editor making videos. I do plan on extending the pool later, which I know has to be done with...

    Kemp load balancer

    to anyone else who has this issue, make sure if you change your cloudflare SSL settings to try and figure out what's wrong that you change them back. I had set the server up for full(strict) but was trying to access the server while it was still set to flexible.

    Booting RAID 1 TrueNAS on Dell R720XD

    I mostly wanted to know if you could use the backplane in the rear since its only two slots and I am not sure where else I could mount the ssds. also don't have any SATA power connectors off the PSUs that I could see, so I don't know how I would power them
