I aimed for a lower-wattage Seasonic PSU but found Seasonic distribution to Hong Kong and Macau severely lacking. I replaced it with the Antec TP-550c below.ġ Antec TP-550C 550W 80-Plus Gold PSU.

The faulty 9211 was a relatively inexpensive unit from Taobao, the mainland Chinese version of ebay, a venue know for occasionally listing a few counterfeit items. One of the 9211-8i HBAs went on the fritz we replaced both 9211s with a single 9201-16i from the US. This motherboard’s PCI-e slots can accept two 8x HBAs the slots are spaced rather close but the 9211-8i chips haven’t suffered heat stroke yet. The 18 hard drives are arranged in three separate vdevs comprising a single pool each ZFS Raid Z2 vdev has six disk. Note that the wheels that come with the case aren’t strong enough to survive supporting this many drives they no longer roll. The standard Xigmatek HDD cages hold four disks each. We removed nearly all the accessories that are delivered with this case most of the cabling went out, and we used four hard drive cages that squeeze five 3.5” disks into three 5.25” bays (a total of 20 hard drives could fit in the mounts).

This motherboard can accept two 8x HBAs if needed (I’m only using one slot at present). ![]() ![]() I ran out of space so have replaced the six drives in the smaller vdev with 4 TB drives (the server now has 10 3TB drives and 6 4TB drives). This system started out with 10 drives I added the six when I ran out of room. The 16 hard drives are arranged in two vdevs comprising a single pool one ZFS Raid Z2 vdev has ten drives while the other has six. #LIST OF MIXXX COMPATIBLE HARDWARE PLUS#This case is designed for people building home gaming computers but also happens to be reasonably well suited for use as a file server it is well-ventilated, has relatively quiet fans, and - most import - can be configured to hold 16 hard drives in the 12 5.25” bays (using the two included 4 in 3 HDD cages plus two more).

Please note that only the first three systems listed use ECC RAM I would have built the other systems using ECC components had I been aware of the risks inherent in running ZFS on non-ECC systems. I am currently running FreeNAS 9.10.x and have used most of the below hardware with earlier versions of FreeNAS 9 and 8. These are the hardware combinations I use with FreeNAS. ![]()
