Hi folks,
I am actually building my first NAS DIY for mainly stream from Plex 4k videos. I read a lot during past months to get started. My system configuration will be :
- Asus Prime B460-I Plus (4 sata)
- Intel I5 106000
- Fury Beast 32go
- Seagate 4x8 To
- Samsungo evo 250 Go Nvme
- Corsair alimentation CX 430
I read that it's not encouraged to install the boot on a USB stick as obviously it doesn't build to support continuous write/read. The solution is to mount the boot on a SSD or M2. HOWERVER, all my SATA ports will be use for HDD and it is a pain for me to use the M2 for a boot of 4 Go instead of using it for cache.
A though to plug a SSD HDD on the USB 3.0 of the motherboard with SATA cable adapter (USB to SATA) and install the boot in it.
What do you think about it ? Is it a smart solution to save SATA and M2 port or is it not recommended at all to use USB port for boot even on a SSD HDD ?
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
