It seems like the 10gb nics in general are more reliable from what i hear.
10gb gear has been dropping in price pretty fast, you can get noname brand switches with 10gb for well under $100.
That said i dunno if im willing to trust that kinda of gear but there are youtubers that are happy with those switches
Right now in the folders page I can see how much of the pool total is used across all folders but I'd like to be able to see how large each folder is by itself.
i dunno of anyone that has but hexos most likely will install just fine onto either or.
That said we do not recommend using external storage such as the sabrent 4 bay you mentioned.
Many of these external multi bay docks also can have issues with truenas/hexos where the operating system will only properly detect 1 drive.
