Storage chassis

45Drives HL15

The physical home for durable bulk storage and the ZFS failure domain behind the platform.

15-bay chassisTrueNASZFSNFS

01 / Why it exists

The platform needs storage whose lifecycle is independent from Kubernetes nodes and application compute.

02 / Architecture

The HL15 provides the drive enclosure for the storage plane. TrueNAS and ZFS own durability; NFS and SMB expose intentionally different access patterns to workloads and people.

03 / Lessons

What operation taught me.

  1. 01Storage topology is an architectural decision, not a capacity purchase.
  2. 02A separate storage failure domain makes cluster rebuilds less dramatic.

Screenshots

Operational captures will be added when they can be safely published.
