“My PlayHouse”

I am setting up a tiny Server in Portugal, using a TerraMaster F2-423 NAS box, on witch I have installed ProxMox. In this video I replaces the two 4TB HGST HHD with two 8TB HGST 4Kn HHD’s

This worked really well, and I set the disks up in a ZFS mirror,, and installed a MS Server 2022 on it…

  1. I have owned a bunch of HGST drives and have been very happy with them overall. The 10tb drives that I just deployed are noisy like the drives you have. I am going to be putting a new NAS together soon but not sure if I want to use a standard NAS appliance like this TerraMaster or build my own. I really want to build something in the Johnsbo N3 case. My current server/NAS is in a Fractal Node 304 and I hated putting that thing together with all of the 3.5" bays populated.

  2. You should use the second unused ssd as a cache for your hdd pool. Also using virtio for disk would be a good idea, since it has lower overhead and you are cpu limited.
    And giving the VM all the Cores and available ram doesn't seem too bright either 😀
    Also look into docker again that's perfect for lower end hardware to host stuff like home assistant for example.

  3. I have one of those and also the 4 bay one….. prefer them even since had issue with my synology nas where a drive failed in raid5 and i could not repair it even when I replace the drive that was supposely faulty.

  4. Morten – great build 👍 but not zfs , the nas is not powerful enough and not enough ram 🤓🤔🤔
    Zfs tries to take 8 gb ram at standard , 4 gb ram minus 1,3 gb for proxmox and 4 gb for windows , that a tall order for that tiny nas 🤔🤔 put in the max ram and it shuold be fine 👍🇩🇰

  5. power walker tuborg bronze award – consider going to opnsense and not pfsense for better drivers (newer and better support) plus fantastic licensing – opnsense is more better essentially
