Product Information

Terminology and Abbreviations Primer: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/terminology-and-abbreviations-primer.28174/ I'm not actually looking into discussing my current build or your numbers, but lets say I don't agree with about 50% of what you wrote. When it comes to selecting a general-purpose workstation I tend to be looking for the impossible: high performance, superb reliability, quiet operation, moderate price. Amazingly, there exists at least one […] Update 2018-08-24: with the Fujitsu D3643-H there is now a board available that offers two version 1.2 DisplayPorts (up to 4K resolution at 60 Hz). As with most Fujitsu mainboards, the D3643-H is optimized for low power consumption and high reliability. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth All the hype around Apple must have something to do with the quality of their products, it cannot be clever marketing and cool design alone. Example: Power Consumption This weekend […]

This article describes how to build a fast workstation PC that is almost completely silent (actually the fastest possible in terms of single-thread performance). It is based on a PC build published by German c’t magazine. Why Single-Thread Performance is (Nearly) the Only Thing That Matters So I've been looking into second hand. The nice supermicroboards can't be found second hand for a reasonable price at the moment. And as I've come to understand over here, the consumer boards I'd better not use as well. This kinda answers the question already, but I'm gonna ask it anyway. With the very limited budget I can get (both secondhand):Spindown is per drive setting... But keep in mind that all drives are mostly writen at once* and the times for spindown (regardless of how low its set) only starts counting down when a drive is on standby. The need for Space I have currently won't ever exceed 10TB so I thought about getting 2 4-drive RAIDZ1 vdevs resulting in a total capacity of 24TiB (with 20% free space in mind). Maybe I'll just do 1 vdev resulting in 12TiB. I can still expand later on. Yeah, thats why I skipped insulting your intelligence and didn't waste both our time in endless discussions ;-)

The FUJITSU Mainboard D3644-B of the Extended Lifecycle Series is the best solution for demanding requirements. It supports the Intel® XEON® E-21xx processor series, the PSU failures are not a "limit" type thing. If you hit a point where the PSU actually fails, you are already so far over the line that irreparable damage had probably been done at a substantially lower load. HP, for example, built their MicroServer Gen 8 with a 200W PSU for a 4-bay AMD Athlon based system. The supply is incredibly underpowered and there's actually a company that has made a good business out of 350W PSU upgrades for it when the undersized supply eventually fails. That's for a four-drive system. If you need Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, I can recommend the Asus PCIe network adapter AC2100 (PCE-AC58BT). It works out of the box without the need to install anything from the CD (!) I found in the box. Just connect the external antenna (excellent signal strength!) and the internal USB cable (required for Bluetooth). I had initially run Cinebench before any Meltdown/Spectre OS and firmware patches. Once the machine was fully patched and the BIOS firmware updated, and I had verified that the patches fully mitigated the threats, I ran Cinebench again. Encouragingly, the Meltdown/Spectre mitigation did not affect the Cinebench performance at all. The multi-core benchmark result was even 3% higher.MSI B360M PRO-VDH / Pentium Gold G5600: from my understanding it should be plenty powerful for now. The intention is to play with it some time and upgrade the board to Fujitsu D3643-H or Fujitsu D3644-B and maybe upgrade the pentium to a i3 9100 when avaiable. I know these combinations get quite low in idle power consumption, but it would have me start with a consumer board. A definite no as I've come to understand here, or....? I blame Intel’s Z370 chipset, the only chipset currently available for Intel’s 8th generation (Coffee Lake) CPUs. According to other people’s measurements, the GPU consumes a bit less than 10 Watts when idle. Interestingly, it does not matter whether you connect one or two (4K) displays to the GPU. There is not even a significant change in power consumption if you connect a single display to the mainboard’s Intel graphics instead. The other option would be a Fujitsu d3446-s21 gs1 (it comes with an intel i5 6400). Price difference with previous is about 10 euro. Would this be the better choice of the two? This seems the more "professional" board to me, but my knowledge is limited on this part and I can't find that much information on home servers with this board. Would this give me a good base to start on?

This article explains how to set up Grafana, Loki, and Promtail with automatic HTTPS certificates (via Caddy) and OAuth single sign-on (via Authelia). created by Fujitsu: a data-sheet is imported from an official source from a manufacturer. But the data-sheet is not yet standardized by an Icecat editor. I do not have the equipment to measure noise emissions, but I can say that the machine is nearly completely silent. Only when there is no ambient noise at all can a very unobtrusive mid-frequency ventilator humming be heard. This does not even change during prolonged periods of high load. CPU Performance

Motherboard manufacturer with highest power efficiency (and preferably server grade): Fujitsu, now rebranded Kontron I just told you my setup, which I refered to as an example of the powerlevel you where looking for. Burn-in and testing: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/building-burn-in-and-testing-your-freenas-system.17750/ Hardware recommendations: https://www.truenas.com/community/resources/hardware-recommendations-guide.12/ Multi-thread performance, while probably overrated, is not unimportant. There are quite a few applications out there that do use multiple threads at least part of the time to speed things up.

cannot spend too much right now but I can delay some expenses to some months from now (placing 8 or 16 GB of RAM now and buying other next fall for example) A: I want to max ram before adding L2ARC and don't really have much need for SLOG at the moment. It's a long-term todo. One caveat to be aware of: in sleep mode, the system consumes 12.6 Watts, which is about 12 Watts more than it should. This is the case even with the ErP Ready BIOS setting enabled, which is supposed to make the system conform to the EU’s environmental regulations. I worked around this inefficiency by configuring Windows to hibernate when the power button is pressed instead of sleeping. During hibernation, the system only consumes 0.2 Watts. Noise Emissions / SilenceA modern PC’s power consumption is highly volatile, changing many times per second depending on the workload. The most important value, however, is idle power consumption, because no matter how furiously you work, your machine will be idling a large part of the time. Product name is a brand's identification of a product, often a model name, but not totally unique as it can include some product variants. Product name is a key part of the Icecat product title on a product data-sheet.
