Howdy community,
I recognize that the documentation strongly advises against installing Scale (or Core for that matter) onto flash media like USB sticks however, I'm running a Dell PowerEdge with the Internal Dual SD Module.
Outside the fact TrueNAS will prematurely wear out my SD Cards, because the Dual SD module mirrors in Raid 1, providing I keep the config backed up in a safe place and accept the risk that both SD cards could go at the same time, is there really any other reason why I shouldn't use the Dual SD Module to run TrueNas?
I have a total of 14 HDDs, 12 spinning disks in the front for storage and 2 SSDs in the back for cache and no where to install the OS except for on the Dual SD Module hence the foolish configuration.
I thought about installing a generic PCIe NVMe adapter but I can't get past post with the consumer junk. The Dell BOSS card isn't compatible with the Rx30 series and I have my doubts about the compatibility of enterprise PCIe SSDs on fleabay.
Would love for feedback and or recommendations please.
Thanks in advance!
