How can I cool my drives better?

Theres a 120mm intake fan at the top of the picture, which is located at the front of my case.

My SAS are constantly sitting above 50 degrees C and hitting 60 on a really hot day here in London (35º +)

Unfortunately I cannot put any more space between the drives due to the location of the 2nd CPU cooler.

Is the answer a bigger better faster fan than the cheapo one that came with the case ?

Many thanks for your help reddit

I need to remove about 2mm from a shelf so it fits

I have my PC and server inside my fitted wardrobe for tidyness

I have this shelf. It was a keyboard shelf for a desk and I want to use it to put all the smaller stuff on like wifi access point and stuff

However, its about 2mm to wide to fit. What are my options?

Do I buy some sandpaper and sit there for an hour? Do I buy a plane, and if so how do I hold the wood still while I plane it. Bear in mind, my DIY skills are zero.

Come to the rescue redditors.

how can I view qbitorrent logs ?

I'm very new to truenas, please be gentle.

The qbitorrent app currently won't start. I'm trying to find the logs using the shell, but drawing a blank. Google is no help and has lots of out of date information.

I managed to read /mnt/apps/var/log/messages, but there is nothing in there qbitorrent related. so I'm trying to read the qbitorrent logs because that seems like a good place to start, but I have no idea where they are.

Also, I can't roll back qbitorrent because docker tells me it is already running. A long and winding google path lead me to discover that qbitorrent has a lock file and deleting that will allow the service to start. However I don't this is. Google has lots of out of date info and I'm a complete noob when it comes to a linux shell but very willing to learn.

What do I do with 3x 240gb SSD's I have spare?

I currently run truenas as a media server using jellyfin, sonarr, radarr and various other arr stack.

It has 4 x 8tb SAS drives in z1 with another 4 drives getting added when needed, BUT... I also have 3 x 240gb SATA SSD's that are doing nothing and I'm looking for advice as to what to do with them.

Do I set them up as some sort of cache ? I'm a bit new to all this but I'm under the impression that a cache isn't that important when dealing with large files. I also don't really copy stuff to or from the NAS apart from jellyfin streaming.

I don't run VM's, but might do in the future, so do I set them up in a z1 and put my VM virtual hard drives on there? Or is it possible to get the VM to directly access the drive and not use a virtual drive. That would be quicker right, but I couldn't snapshot it or back it up easily.

Hit me up with some ideas guys. Thanks in advance.

I'm in the process of replacing some 8tb SATA drives with cheaper 8tb SAS drives in order to resell the SATA drives.

I offlined one of the SATAs this morning, unplugged it and started resilvering on to the first of the SAS drives. Current set-up is a 3x 8tb z1. Out of 16tb available, its about 52% full

I've been monitoring it during the day and it should take around 10 hours per drive. I'm just a bit confused as to why my read/write speed would vary so much.

Cooling is good, disk temps for the read drives and the write drive are around 45 degrees

Its a media/downloading server, running jellyfin and various arr stack services, but all services stopped apart from tailscale and pihole.
