software alternatives, please edit them out but leave the warnings about CPU temps and the respective settings... It will prevent some cooked machines!
+1 Not working List:
Kingston KVR32S22S8/16 16GB X8 1R 16Gbit DDR4 3200 Mhz
This will be my last module that I tested and it's not working, no need to go further as I already settled on a config.
Terramaster contacted me to offer a complimentary 4GB Ram and they went silent for 2 weeks after the initial email. My return window closes on Nov 2, I even considered sending back the machine, but I love the hardware format. I'll keep it, but the whole experience was such a dissapointment.
Decided to keep these last modules and although I really like TOS I completely moved to a 3rd party OS.
I checked between:
Open Media Vault : + for home use, - ugly interface, Traditional Raid, + FREE.
True Nas Scale: - Enterprise use, + Superb interface + ZFS, -- USB drives are basically not supported, Needs SSD boot drive, preferably mirrored, - Very high ram usage, + FREE.
UnRaid: +Home Use, + nice customisable interface, + Docker App Store, runs from USB 32GB, low Ram Usage, knows how to use SSD cache, super Virtualization options, + Can Mix Drive sizes, - PAID.
I settled on Unraid and it does all that TOS did and even more, but, TOS is simple, great looking and just what i needed for home. It's such a shame to leave TOS behind. It was PERFECT for my use.
Now I have the following config and everything works as expected.
1x Verbatim Store 'n' Stay Nano USB 3.0 32GB (BOOT)
2x 16GB Kingston KVR32S22S8/16 RAM
2x 512GB SSD Samsung 970 EVO, BTRFS cache Raid 1
2x 10TB WD White Labels Helium Drives, BTRFS Parrity + Data.
On the software side I basically mimicked my TOS build with Surveilance, Transmission, UPS and MySql support.
Of course a lot of extras are available now, but nowhere as easy as TOS. You need at least medium knowldegde and it's not for the average user.
It's such a shame as probably some users will go this route, as basically the machine will cook itself without properly set up PWM fan curves in bios and warranty returns will become an issue even if they decide to keep the machines.
FYI what I selected, and it mimics exactly how TOS worked,
1200 Low , 1500 Med , 1800+ High, and it all works in a nice curve, no steps (thanks god I didn't had to use a script and is supported directly in the BIOS)
Fan: Automatic
Start: 16 deg
Minimum: 30 deg
Max: 60 Deg
PWM curve 8 (if lower the fan is not able to keep up with the CPU heating up)
