Upgrading SAS Controller Card in TrueNAS File Server
18Every year I clean up my TrueNAS file server and figure out what I need to replace or upgrade. This year I wanted to replace a 1TB hard drive with a 2TB hard drive and expand my storage from 5TB to 6TB. I wasn’t able to find 2TB hard drives on sale at a price I wanted to pay for. I've seen 4TB hard drives on sale for the price of 2TB hard drives.
Since my 3Gbps SAS controller limited hard drives to 2TB, I bought a 6gps SAS controller for $40. I still need to replace that 1TB hard drive. If I can find a 2TB hard drive on sale.
