High Performance Budget NAS Build - 50T Network Attached Storage. Two ways: FreeNAS & ZFS on CentOS

Complete guide to setting up your own high capacity storage server on your network. Walking you through the hardware selection, build, and BIOS config. Then showing how to do this with both FreeNAS, and by hand with the ZFS on Linux using CentOS 8, but any modern distribution will work that can run the OpenZFS package (Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, etc).

At the time I made this video (Sept, 2020), this was the most bang for the buck all around: Cost, capacity, and performance. Technically 12T drives were the same cost per gigabyte as the 10T drives, but I wanted to keep the sticker price under $3k total.

The parts I used (and affiliate links that I'd greatly appreciate if you used, which cost you nothing extra, but help me make content like this):

Extra notes on ZFS on Linux:

You should set a few other options on your ZFS volume. I forgot to record these at the time I was screen capturing my ssh session:

# zfs set compress=lz4 storage
# zfs set atime=off storage
# zfs set xattr=sa storage

And if you are using yours for large files like me (video), also set:
# zfs set recordsize=1M storage
