Hello,
I’m upgrading my HP Microserver Gen8 and I’m looking to add two drives.
I currently run with 2x2TB WD Red (2016, so they weren’t called Plus yet), and they run at 30°C, in bay 1 and 3 (so not next to each other).
I’ll repurpose that pool and it’s data will be on the drives I’ll buy.
i have already 1.3TB ready to be on the new pool, and a max of 900 GB that will join it “soon”, plus what I will create from now on (see https://www.truenas.com/community/t...agmentation-on-cold-storage.90077/post-623980).
I’m currently evaluating how much storage space I’ll need in the next few years so I can decide between 6TB or 8TB.
That is, so I do not go much over 50% capacity on my pool. The most pessimistic estimations would be 500 GB left right after copying eaphat already exists, and all is pointing towards 2x8TB drives. I’d pick one WD Red Plus and one Iron Wolf. At 8 TB, they are not yet on helium.
However, I checked the latest WD Red Plus 8TB and they seem to run hot, like really hot.
Looks like I can plan a 45°C or more temperature, a 15° increase than my current system.
That will most likely affect my current drives.
The server is in my entrance, but I kind of hear it already, and raising 15% in temperature will force me to increase the fan speed, resulting in ever more noise.
So I thought I’d be ok with 8 TB space wise, but it might not fit my noise consideration (so that I don’t have an overheating system).
Thought?
