PSU was intended for a Jonsbo that got canceled, the Phanteks was on sale and was modular/platinum and had enough Sata Cables. Decided to use my old Evolve ITX case, that could take ATX size PSU's. Bit of a double mess up. With disks spun down around 18-19watts, that's with two fans 140mm/200mm and the aliexpress power brick. Had to turn on c-states in the bios, they were off by default. Still seem like a bit to much, my n6005 idles around 13-14watts.

Absolutely loved my Jasper Lake routers from Ali-Express, so why not build a Jasper Lake NAS? A bit adventurous perhaps, but lots of fun and low power usage compared to other cpu's. High levels of "JANK" in this gallery, first time builders probably want to seek inspiration elsewhere. If you don't mind going ham, perhaps there is some inspiration for you here. Cpu: Intel N5105 Mem: 16GB 3200MHz CL22 Network: 4x 2.5Gbit Intel i226-V Controller: JMB585 Hard Drives: 6x 20TB Exos X20 Case: Enthoo Evolv ITX PSU: Phanteks Revolt SFX 750W 80+ Platinum It's used solely to store big MKV's, so cache isn't necessary. It does however have two "Single Lane" Nvme Slots. The build time was 26 hours & 27 minutes. Average speed: 210.0 MB/s with two 20tb parities. No problem with transfer speeds either, almost maxes out the 2.5gbit. Topton Nas Motherboard: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004757954007.html Enthoo Evolv ITX, Jonsbo N1 order was unexpectedly canceled. Didn't have the time to wait, so took what i had! Hard drive Cage zip-tied down in all corner, hard drive cage bottom got hard rubber so it's really snug. 120TB Reminds me of those Lian-Li mini itx cases that are impossible to get a hold off. Native Sata Port = Parity 1 JMB585 Sata Port 1 = Parity 2 Still Place for two more hard drives, that could be handled by JMB585 nvme slot controller cards. Mandatory test Everything has been running really stable without any issues for a week now, it's just as fast as my 2600x B550 rig at transfer speeds on the the 2.5gbit network. Much love!

Yes it's 6 HDD's but ended up scratching the JMB585 idea. Used a m2->pcie riser cable with a 9207-8i at 3.0 1x speeds. Seems to be working fine, maxing out 2.5gbit file transfers. But it will probably bottleneck parity checks. It's a n5105 motherboard without pci-e slots, a bit janky solution but I have more trust in a SAS card.

Got two JMB585 5x Sata, one on the motherboard and one in a nvme slot. Is it better to spread out the drives across them? Say three Hard Drives on each chip.

Updated Bios, redid dhcp stuff, turned off bonding and bridging. Something fixed it, network is maxing out on both read and write. Reading/Moving files from Unraid at 190-210mbytes now, acceptable and fast enough for ffmpeg.

First time using Iperf and it definitely seem network related. Iperf speeds match my transfer speeds. What could cause it?

Built my first Unraid Server without much of a hassle about two months ago. Version: 6.9.2 Unraid Rig: 2700x / 16gb Ram / B550 Tomahawk 2.5gbit / 8x Exos 18x "18tb" Sata Drives / LSI SAS2308 IT Mode Switch: TRENDnet TEG-S350 2.5gbit NAS: 4x Exos 16x Raid 10 2.5gbit PC: 3950x / 64gb Ram / Asus Master x570 2.5gbit / 960 Evo 1TB But the Reads has been about half the speed of writes. I easily Write at 250-280mbytes to the Unraid but only read about 120-140mbytes from it. That while copying to and from a Nvme scratch disk. NAS on the same network dosen't have the same issue copying and reading to it and get full network speeds. Also tried switching the cables between the NAS and the Unraid without any improvements. Everything is hooked up with 2,5gbit. MTU is 5000 on Unraid, NAS and PC. The Unraid is filled with MKV's ranging from 2-150GB's and there is about 65TB of video on it. Two of the Exos are Parity Drives. It's one big SMB Share. Any clue on were to start troubleshooting? Or is this expected performance? bigusdickus-diagnostics-20220411-0226.zip
