Hello everyone! Just a few weeks ago, I transitioned from OpenMediaVault to Truenas Scale.
I'm using an HPE Microserver Gen10 Plus with the following specifications:
- Xeon 2246G processor with 6 cores and 12 threads.
- 32 GB of ECC RAM.
- Disk setup includes 4 bays in a RaidZ2 configuration with 4 x 4TB disks, used for my data pool.
- I'm using 2 USB-mSata drives in a mirror arrangement for Truenas boot.
- I have 1 PCIE slot in which I've connected an Nvidia Quadro P1000 for transcoding.
I have a question in mind: I want to create a virtual machine (VM) with Windows 10 to perform certain tasks using the Nvidia Quadro P1000. However, I no longer have available PCIE slots or SATA connections to reliably add additional disks. I'm curious to know if anyone has experience running Windows 10 on an NVME SSD connected to a USB 3.2 port. I'd like to understand if this approach is reliable or if anyone has encountered any issues or situations to share.
Does anyone foresee any potential complications with this plan? I'd like to avoid purchasing the external enclosure and SSD before being certain that everything will work as expected. I appreciate if anyone could share their experiences or insights.
