Yehor 🇺🇦I just wanted to remove some drives from my #NAS… Good thing I have some thermal compound.
Today’s achievement - my custom-built server got much cooler because I replaced this SAS controller from hell with a tiny PCI-E to 2 х SATA III adapter with a 9125 chip.
Previously, I was convinced by #TrueNAS forums and Stack Overflow that 9125-based controllers wouldn’t work for TrueNAS. It may be true for TrueNAS, but it worked well with #Proxmox.

This thing is so cool from the inside. I want to leave it like this every time I open it.
This is my #DIY #NAS I built in #Jonsbo N1 case. #TrueNas in the past, #Proxmox for now.
4 HDDs and 2 SSDs. 64 GB of RAM and 12-core Intel i5.
One thing I don’t like is a PCIe SAS controller in the bottom that is huge and gets very hot. It’s there because the motherboard had only 4 SATA ports. I want to replace that controller with something smaller and cooler.

Brian’s compact NAS build is impressive—balancing size, performance, and efficiency isn’t easy. Love the detailed assembly and testing insights. TrueNAS choice makes sense for reliability, though the case quirks seem tricky. Thoughtful planning is key!

briancmoses.comThis #DIY #NAS is ready to be shown off at @TexasLinuxFest on October 3rd and 4th.
Find me there and check out the #TXLF #diynas ! https://2025.texaslinuxfest.org/
Yesterday's unfortunate discovery of a #3Dprinting omission put the kibosh on finishing this #diynas.
But it won't stop me from hooking everything up and to start putting it through some burn-in testing!
The outer enclosure is complete and the SFX PSU has been installed. #diynas
