I currently have an Asrock E3C226D2I motherboard with six (6) 3TB Western Digital Red hard drives. Which means I am using all of the available SATA ports. I have a free PCIe slot and I was wondering instead of using a 16GB USB Flash Drive as my boot drive, can I use an SSD drive in the PCIe slot? And if so, what hard drive would be recommended?
My complete build is as follows:
FreeNAS-11.1-RELEASE
ASRock E3C226D2I Motherboard
16GB (8GB x2) Crucial ECC Memory
Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 @ 3.30GHz Processor
Fractal Node 304
Seasonic G Series SSR-550RM 550W Power Supply
