there is a simple(r) solution for usb 3 boot drive: get one of those SLC 32GB usb disk along with a USB flexible extension to put it inside the chassis near the vent airflow. SLC USB drives are fast enough for scale install and will last FOREVER. You'll also have the ability to use both nvme drives
I'm a dirty little Raid Owl fanboy Also, thanks for the shoutout! Working on that video as I'm typing this.. lol
I'm a dirty little Raid Owl fanboy. Also, so cool to see Hardware Haven here as well. Two of my favorite smaller tech channels that I've discovered this year! You guys are both educational and fun to watch.
I got the F2-223 and put TrueNAS Core on it. It's working great.

Hardware Haven Helps Heal Hardware
Plex the favourite one?? Jellyfin FTW!!
I'd pay 150$ for a full networking course on scale...... but yeah a VPN video on scale would help. Maybe work again with HH and Jeff. I know you guys have been in cahoots for a little bit now. Love the vids brotha keep em coming.
I'm a dirty little Raid Owl fanboy. At LEAST HH knows you're weird. That's a start to a bro-mance. He's cool. I like when he does a video project, something just doesn't work, and he continues, SHOWING US his mistake. Mark of a great creator! Terramaster had/has (okay leaning toward "HAD") a chance, a huge chance, of making very good, low-cost NAS with great software. They failed. It's obvious from everyone's review on YouTube they failed. Synology and TrueNAS {core,scale} are the Gold Standards. Synology "just works." (Most of the time!) But TrueNAS has so much going for it and will only get better. I like you taking the time to show taking this mess and making it useable. I see this has a great "dorm room NAS" for a kid to take to college. Or perhaps for a baby NAS for cameras' recordings. Keep up the great videos my fine feathered creator.
The whole "zfs is a memory hog" thing is a bit of a myth. Most of the issues around that arise if you use dedupe. Since that's not something you really need most of the time (and if you really need it, you can enable it on just one dataset), huge memory sizes aren't super necessary. Having said that, more memory is helpful for things like caching, but how much you really need there depends on how you use your data.
Yes. Vpn on TrueNas scale walkthrough please!
it's extra work, but you can ditch k3s and go with straight docker on scale. more of an advanced implementation though.
Yes, I would absolutely like to see certificates set up on TrueNAS Scale.. I couldn't get it working and gave up. Oh, and... I'm a dirty little Raid Owl fanboy. Please don't ask me to do that again...
Recycling with TrueNAS, great going! And . . . I'm a dirty little Raid Owl fanboy
I'd consider subscribing. Oh wait, I have already. Good vid, I appreciate you too.
This is my exact journey after realizing my shiny new qnap nas didn't do zfs or btrfs
Walk through, please? I'm stuck on the efi boot screen that I can't get by. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Damn I like your videos man! Keep it up ππ
What's wrong with just using a usb flash drive as your boot medium? the only time you really need to write to it is for stuff like os updates and configuration changes which happen super rarely. most of what you do with the nas is going to be done on the pool(s)
