Greetings - I am currently running TrueNAS-12.0-U1. I'm using 2 mirrored USB drives as the boot device. As USB drives are no longer recommended, I'd like to go ahead and make the switch to SSD. I've read through some forums about switching from USB to SSD for the boot device, but I'm still unclear on the whole process.
1. I'll probably go with something like a Kingston A400 unless someone has some reason I shouldn't go that route.
2. I have seen it mentioned that on these SSDs you can also move the system dataset over to it so that the data pools don't get those constant writes.
So here are the questions:
1. What exactly is the process for switching over from the USB to SSD as the boot device? I've seen different people talk about different ways of doing this, but all of the posts I found were before TrueNAS 12 so I don't know if there are newer, better ways.
2. If I want to move the dataset over to the SSD, is it recommended to get 2 SSDs and mirror them?
2b. How do I move the dataset over if I go that route?
Thank you for all of your help. This community is great!
