SAS controller in my #TrueNAS was not fixed properly. It was holding only by PCIe slot and a wire giving me anxiety. Because the card itself was small enough for the #Jonsbo N1, but it’s backplate was huge.
I finally found a low-profile plate from another card and it fitted almost perfectly! No more anxiety because of unfixed hardware.

Almost forgot to add this performance boost to my #Jonsbo N1 DIY NAS.

I think I can conclude that #TheGRATEmigration11 was successful. #TrueNAS with *arr stack is up and running. My iso images are re-downloading, #Plex transcoding performance is amazing.

I need to migrate some services from a mini PC to TrueNAS. I also need a reverse proxy for them. I also meed to set up a backup solution for TrueNAS… There is still a lot to do. As usual in the #homelab

But now I rest. I #vacation and #Diablo IV. I also #beer and #snacks. Stay tuned.

We have green light! It’s alive! Alive!!!

The PSU for my #DIYNAS finally arrived and I’ve put everything together. Ready for the first launch. My biggest concern is HBA SAS controller. Will it work? I have total of seven storage drives connected. Hope to see them all in BIOS setup.
Hope I’ll be able to get to the BIOS setup ))

Drives inside the Jonsbo N1 are sliding up and down the rails with rubber rings (wheels?). That’s so cool!

That was tough, but I made it.
Connected SATA cables to the backplate of #Jonsbo N1. Three of them will go to the motherboard, and the other two are connected to the HBA SAS controller (it’s on the second photo at the bottom of motherboard).

Well fuck. I should read the hardware specifications carefully and don’t trust pangoly.com anymore. I need an SFX PSU instead of ATX, obviously.

So I needed to connect 6 SATA drives. My PSU had 3 SATA power connectors and 2 Molex connectors. So I bought Molex->2xSATA power adapters.
Guess what? The backplate of the Jonsbo N1 is powered by 2 Molex connectors.

Have no idea what it is, but looks fun!
