...And the same logic follows with RAIDz2 and RAIDz3. Those configurations dedicate two, and three, drives to parity/recoverability, respectively Starting with 8x 10TB drives: RAIDz1: 70TB, and 1 drive can fail without data loss RAIDz2: 60TB, and 2 drives can fail without data loss RAIDz3: 50TB, and 3 drives can fail without data loss

Yeah I suppose it depends on how you want to do it, and what transfer tools we eventually end up with in the dashboard. At a certain point stuff like this becomes theory crafting, since we don't know what the future features will be or how they will work exactly.

Got a few more... HexOS is the place with the helpful software folks. HexOS: We didn't start the fire. HexOS: All your database are belong to us "You probly thought NAS servers were high maintenance. Nope. They're not. They're easy. They've been streamlined by JonP and his team. Eshtek Inc. We specialize in the easiest NAS servers anywhere. Period." HexOS: It can run Crysis. (after thinking of this one it's now a mission of mine to run crysis in a VM on Hexos lol) HexOS: We don't shout at our JBODs HexOS: Yes, dad, I am winning. HexOS: Making networked storage as easy as pie. HexOS: Very Storage. Such apps. Much simple. Wow. HexOS: We downloaded more RAM

I'm glad you enjoyed them! I had fun coming up with all of them, haha. I must admit though that I'm not sure what you're talking about regarding my being a linux admin, as I'm not a sysadmin of any kind... Have I stumbled onto an inside joke by accident? 🤔 That one popped into my head and wouldn't leave. Cracked me up the whole time I was writing it LOL

Yes. Definitely. It couldn't very well be a Network Attached Storage device otherwise, now could it? 😅

Hi ultraforce, I broke this comment out into its own thread as it's an issue with using HexOS vs meta talk about the FAQ. In regard to the issue, I have to be honest, I'm not sure why that would happen! I'm sure others here might though, so I am looking forward to learning with everyone!

The "laptop" in question

To piggyback on what @arvinpw wrote, you can also disconnect your server while it is online. Deck.HexOS.com > Settings > Reset and Restore > Disconnect this server > Disconnect this server from HexOS

(Note: Most of these are a satirical, and are intended for amusement only. Don't nobody get mad lol. ) HexOS: File storage made simple HexOS: TrueNAS for the proletariat HexOS: Less is more HexOS: NAS for dummies HexOS: You can put your weed in there HexOS: Because ain't nobody got time for that! HexOS: This ain't your mama's NAS (but it could be) HexOS: The cloud, but it's YOUR computer! HexOS: TrueNAS on story mode

YES! This right here. I do tetchy brain workie hard stuff all day for work. I *could* learn TrueNAS, but I want something that is reliable and performant without my having to think about it, or worry about having to spend hours researching trying to fixing things if something does break. I am choosing to go the easy route. K.I.S.S

Good suggestions! Going into the details of what hardware works or doesn't is a bit too deep for an FAQ though. I imagine that sooner or later myself or someone in the community will put together a thread or document of some kind that is strictly dedicated to hardware compatibility, and then that might be something to mention in the FAQ.

@ShadowLeRawr If that's your reaction to terrible cable management, what do you think of some of my work?

I know that being picky eaters seems to be common, but weirdly enough my ball python (Guava Juice) has never rejected a meal! 🤷‍♂️ Snake Tax:

Hi @SteveLinkNoah TL;DR: Truenas can do it, but it's not enabled in HexOS yet. When writing FAQs and other articles I try to keep what I'm saying accurate to the current release's features and capabilities. Given the nature of what HexOS is there are bound to be difference between what is possible (or at least recommended) to do with each OS. As I understand it, expandable mirrors are a new feature for TrueNAS SCALE 24.10 (electric eel) . I see no reason HexOS couldn't support the feature, it's is just that a basic mirror is the default and only option currently, which is why the FAQ seems to contradict what is possible

This genius work of humor was shared to me courtesy of my little brother 😂

As a snake keeper, this is highly amusing 😂

... I would.

@Dylan, I made some minor edits to clear this up!

Hi folks. If we find any models that can run HexOS at a usable level can we make a little list of them so I can keep the FAQ up to date?

Provided everyone behaves politely and all shared content is SFW I see no issue. Niche cultures and lifestyles are not inherently inappropriate. If it's not for you, then it's not for you, and that's OK. Live and let live 🙂

Note: I split this topic out from under the Hardware/Storage FAQ

Hi folks, I had a few comments under the Hardware and storage FAQ related to wanting a guide for hardware recommendations, so I'm creating this thread to move those comments to. (To be clear, this thread is not intended to be that guide)
