ERYING i9-13900HK 14C20T DDR5 JONSBO N3

[Enquiries]

I am following your Jonsbo N3 build video hoping to run TrueNAS.

Q: ERYING i9-13900HK 14C20T DDR5 say RAID not supported. Is this a problem.

Q: If no RAID is an issue then should I get i9-12900H 14C20T DDR4 which does support RAID? Bonus I have 2 x 8gb DD4 not in use.

Q: Should I just get UGREEN NASync DXP6800 Pro 6-Bay and hope TrueNAS will work OK?

The Build list so far:
- Undecided CPU MB bundle
- X540-T2 Intel Chipset PCIe x8 Dual Copper RJ45 10Gbps Port Ethernet Network Card PCIE-X8 X16
- M2 to SATA Adapter M.2 NGFF NVME to SATA3.0 Expansion Card B+M Key M-Key to 5/6 Ports SATA3.0 6Gbps Controller Riser for HDD SSD
- Thermalright SI-100 CPU Air Cooler, 6×6mm Heat Pipes, TL-E12 PWM Quiet Fan CPU Cooler with S-FDB V2.0 Bearing
- Gaming 600W Power Supply PC PSU, 80 Plus Bronze Certified,APFC Switching Power Supply
- CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 5200MHz CL40 Intel XMP iCUE
- SATA-III Cable-0.5M, 6Pcs/Set-6Gbps-Sata HDD-SSD Data-Cable

Thank you for your help.

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out! Let's tackle your questions one by one. Firstly, regarding the ERYING i9-13900HK with 14C20T DDR5 not supporting RAID, it's not necessarily a deal-breaker, especially if you're considering using TrueNAS. While RAID offers redundancy and performance benefits, TrueNAS can still work effectively without it. However, if RAID is a must for you, opting for the i9-12900H with 14C20T DDR4, which does support RAID, could be a viable solution, especially since you already have unused DDR4 memory on hand.

Now, considering the UGREEN NASync DXP6800 Pro 6-Bay, it's indeed a solid option, on compatibility with TrueNAS looks ok.

Your build list looks promising! The X540-T2 Intel Chipset PCIe x8 Dual Copper RJ45 10Gbps Port Ethernet Network Card is a great addition for high-speed connectivity, and the Thermalright SI-100 CPU Air Cooler ensures efficient cooling for your system. The CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM at 32GB offers ample memory for smooth operation.
