I am working on building a NAS for my business and I just wanted to get some opinions on the build and whether or not this will work and/or is a good set up. - TrueNAS Scale - ASUS PRO WS w680 ACE IPMI - i5-14500 - 1x32gb Kingston Server Premier DDR5 ECC UDIMM - 4x12tb Seagate Ironwolf Pro (RAIDZ2) - 2x500gb WD red SN700 (Mirrored for TrueNAS Boot) - Seasonic Focus GX750 - Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Cooler - Fractal Design Define 7xl - CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD - Fortigate 91g (Enterprise subscription) - FortiSwitch FS-124F-POE - Admin PC (haven't decided yet) This is for a court reporting agency. It will hold sensitive court transcripts, personal health information, work-product, among a few. The workflow for contractors would be logging into their intune environment, going to the forticlient bookmark, that would route them to entraID. Once MFA and client device posture is accepted, they would be able to upload/download to the NAS (only their folder). Clients would be able to only download files from their folder. This would likely be the same entraID situation. If I am missing anything, please let me know. I would love to hear some feedback!

  • “One more TrueNas for backup”

  • “My only input is maybe instead of doing Z2, do mirrored stripe instead. Since you are using four drives. You'll get the same storage capacity at 50%, but at higher higher random reach and write. The two disc failure is a little bit different on mirrors versus Z2. It depends on the workload you are expecting. Fractal 7xl is a case if you plan on adding more drives in the future. It's huge. Cons”

  • “I have that exact same UPS on my (home) TrueNAS box and it works but doesn't appear exactly in the drop-down list, but selecting "Cyber Power Systems ups 3 CP1000PFCLCD USB (usbhid-ups)" works. I was having some issues with UPS communications dropping out briefly and generating nuisance notification emails but setting the auxiliary parameter field to "pollinterval = 30" (ups.conf) resolved those”
