Obviously not a home build This is a 1 PB usable FreeNAS build for an archival tier for scientific images all in a Raid-10 configuration with dual 10GB for connectivity. Net cost was around 100k USD.

I wonder what the largest FreeNAS pool is? How about 360 drives
I should have it operational some time tomorrow. I'll post a pic of the finished pool when it's done. I included a shot of the back because I am pleased with the cable management. I posted this once before when it was 270 disks. I added 2 more JBODs and am currently expanding the pool
Specs:
1 2u Supermicro head
E5-2650 v3 x2
256GB DDR4
8 45-bay Supermicro JBODs
