Hello,
I am currently using a QNAP 2-bay NAS and the age + recent events in my Ubiquity IPS (QNAP seems to love to call back home…) gave me the motivation to consider moving to Truenas Core.
My requirements are:
1. The NAS should be very quiet (it will be located in my home office room - I got more sensible to noise…; I am running WD Red Plus HDs in the QNAP; I can hear them spinning…)
2. I mostly need SMB file sharing (accessing from a Windows PC) with high data integrity - no VMs, games, mail-server etc. It is for private, personal data.
3. (some kind of automatic OS updates are appreciated…)
I had a hardware setup with a ASRock Deskmini X300 barebone with AMD CPU +16 GB RAM in mind. This barebone has the advantage of 2 SATA HW bays + 2 NVMe bays.
My understanding: I could use a SATA disk for bootup and make a datapool with two 2 TB NVMe SSDs - is that correct?
(Feels a little bit of performance overkill, but quite and fast performance feels nice…)
Any thoughts on this setup? Is there a problem using „normal“ NVME SSD? I do not expect lots of write traffic.
