Thought I’d share the experience with my HPE Apollo 4200 Gen9 running TrueNAS Core 13.0-U6.1.
Specs:
- 12x 18TB Toshiba MG09ACA1 HDD
- 5x 10TB HGST HUH721010ALE601 HDD
- 6x 10TB WD101EDBZ-11 HDD
- 1x 10TB WD100EMAZ-00 HDD
- 6x 4TB Micron 5100 SSD
- 1x 1TB Crucial CT1000P3SSD8 SSD (boot drive)
- 1x Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN 25GbE Dual-port SFP28 Adapter
- 1x HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560FLR-SFP+ Adapter
- 1x Smart Array P840ar Controller (HBA-mode)
- 1x Smart HBA H240
- 2x Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4
- 8x 32GB HPE Standard Memory
- 2x 1400 watts power supplies
The HDD’s are running in 2 RAIDz3’s striped together (12x 18TB, 12x 10TB) providing SMB.
The SSD’s function as a NFS share for my VMware cluster.
Besides the occasional ciss hiccup from the P840 (one drive disappears and comes back after a cold boot) and the power usage close to 400 watts, the system has been rock solid for the last six months being my main storage server. It’s being used very extensively.
