Hi,
I know that this is NOT an recommended setup in any way (But will it work?).
I got the following hardware.
Intel NUC NUC6I5SYH (With 32GB of ram).
I got two external USB 3.0 HDD with 3TB each.
I have installed Proxmox on the NUC.
I have installed FreeNAS as an VM.
I have configuered both of the HDD as "passthrough" to the FreeNAS.
FreeNAS is booted normally and I have setup both disks as a mirror.
So far everything looks good! I get around 80-100MB/sec throughput on the disks.
So is this an setup that I can "trust"? The NUC of course does not have ECC ram.
Also what also makes my setup unusual is the external USB disks.
Or should choose mediavault instead for an setup like this?
One of the reasons why I did choose to try this setup is that I do now have room/space for having an NAS in my apartment at home. I also need something that does not make and noise.
So the NUC and external disks are perfect for this.
Thanks for any suggestions or warnings :)
