Been planning to migrate from my Supermicro monolith server for a while and finally finished the migration. Red thing is opnsense on an APU engine, Lenovos run a proxmox cluster, below is a mini PC with attached JBOD running TrueNAS.

Next step is to get another shelf for my Raspi and openDTU.

    Shopping aliexpress most are 2.5 drives. I get that they’re lower power but 3.5 drives offer much more storage…

      I’m all on SSDs since I don’t need that much storage, so 2.5 is what I need anyways. There’s a 3x ZFS mirror of 1.8TB SSDs in there, 4th bay is currently empty.

        Damn. Ethernet is indeed your bottleneck there. I love your rack but I’d go more for a higher storage configuration.
