Hopefully I'm in the right place. I've building and playing with computers all my life, but in the 2 years I have started to play with TrueNAS for my server choices. It's mostly a Plex server with one drive for data backup of pictures, documents, etc, but mostly a PLEX server. When I upgrade my main computer for the first time in the last 7 years, I decided to try out TrueNAS with my old system before I would go better.
Old System (My get to know TrueNAS)
GIGABYTE GA-F2A88X-UP4
AMD A10-7890K
CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB x2
Intel EXPI9404PT Ethernet PRO/1000 PCI-E PT Quad Port Server Adapter
Rivo PCIe SATA Card, 8 Port with 8 SATA Cable, SATA Controller Expansion Card
(I don’t think I need to list the hard drives, but I did figure out I needed more than a 650 watt power supply for the amount of drives I had.)
Current System (The one I having trouble with)
MSI - Z590 PRO WIFI (Socket LGA1200) Intel Motherboard
Intel - Core i7-10700K
CORSAIR - VENGEANCE LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) 3.2 GHz DDR4 C16 x2
Intel EXPI9404PT Ethernet PRO/1000 PCI-E PT Quad Port Server Adapter (From old setup)
Rivo PCIe SATA Card, 8 Port with 8 SATA Cable, SATA Controller Expansion Card (From old setup)
Right away I started to have issue with the onboard LAN not working with TrueNAS (may need to get drivers and install them, but I do not know how to do that with TrueNAS (Still a BIG newbie) and the Intel EXPI9404PT is also not being seen. I happen to have a Intel Gigabit CT PCI-E Network Adapter (EXPI9301CTBLK) lying around and that work enough to get access to my server via the network, but I believe the big issue is the motherboard. I think that is causing a lot of compatibility issues especially with the network portion. I’m currently looking at replacing the motherboard with possibly the SUPERMICRO MBD-X12SAE-5 ATX Server Motherboard LGA 1200 Intel W580 and also getting a LSI LSI00244 9201-16i PCI-Express 2.0 x8 SATA / SAS Host Bus Adapter Card to run the hard drives on, but I hate to put out $400 a motherboard that I can’t confirm will be any better or if there is any other Z590 motherboards that would work better. Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
