So I somehow seemed to have missed something major again. I am trying to setup a NAS with 8 18TB drives (only using 4 currently, had to order drive cages for my case off of aliexpress) . I originally had a 1TB ssd that was one of the only things I didn't need to buy for the build, I was going to use for the OS. When I realized it was a waste of space for the OS drive, I bought a cheap 128GB off of amazon for the OS. That just showed up today, and I just did my second test install of TrueNAS scale. So my plan was to use my 1TB ssd as a seperate pool for apps. Of course I just realized that this isn't going to happen, because I can't configure a pool with a single drive. I know mirrors would be great for both my boot and my app pool, but I've pushed my budget to the limit already.
I'm literally just trying to run qbittorent. I probably won't even setup plex or anything because I rarely watch movies. It's basically just all for bulk storage. Would be great to get some suggestions as to how slow this is going to run if I just run qbittorent off the main data hard drive pool. Also there's an option to add the tb of storage to the data pool. Or add it as a cache, and several other choices when configuring the data pool. Could one of you that really understands this stuff please tell me how I can best make use of my 1TB SSD? Really not sure what the best option is.
