Out Truenas server needs storage boosts occasionally.

This time I ebayed a couple of intel 2TB server ssds and added them to the pool.

Easy! except for the extra 2 sata ports I hoped to add on the Expansion Card (Key A+E PCI Express to SATA Dual Port JMB582) wasn’t recognised by truenas so I used two spare ports on the pcie adapter I had already installed (so not all ports are used it will become a case of swap-out disks to upgrade). A  feature of truenas is that the new disks are now empty and get files/blocks eventually – its a space boost not really a speed boost.

JC is finalising nip4 – the successor to his incredible image processing spreadsheet. Not only is it useful for viewing massive multispectral or colorimetric images – but also for saving experiments or prototyping.
