I was looking for the Supermicro 24 bay 4u chassis recommended in the hardware wiki. But I’m not seeing any affordable options on ebay so now I’m thinking to go with the 36 bay chassis and only use the front 24 bays. This also means the motherboard/cpu section of the chassis will be 2u.

What HBA would be good with this case and truenas?

What should I use for the motherboard/CPU/RAM? I have a few cheap ryzen desktop boards that work with ECC RAM, but thinking to buy something that might be more reliable.

    I use gen 1 Ryzen with multi-bit ECC ram from China Newegg seller on cheap 2nd gen ryzen ASRock motherboard and never had any issues but might have got lucky. I use 9 drives per vdev and use zraid3 cause I’m paranoid and combine 2vdevs in one pool, it can take a day to scrub or resilver but it’s not too bad.
