I’m not saying HexOS dev team should drop ZFS! in no way did I suggest that, there’s nothing i dislike more than being told I said something I didn’t.
while I understand all you’re points and believe me I agree, I still believe some of us on lower end hardware “that isn’t even old in today’s standards” should be able to run HexOS! believe it or not the stripe option can be used on truenas scale which you can login to from the hexos dashboard settings page, username : truenas_admin then what ever password you used to setup hexos, however the stripe pool doesn’t show up in the hexos menu, simple things like this should work and those of us who wish to use stripe “which is effectively a raid 0” should have that ability and will prevent ZFS from using more of my devices precious ram. This is a very realistic option to request to be added.
I backup my NAS to a separate usb HDD every so often, I don’t need redundancy built in, I’m responsible with out it.
the hexos team could also use truenas core! Which would also lower ram requirements, while I understand there are limited developers I am one of many people that brought a license without knowing the requirements! if this device only had 1GB of ram, and it was DDR3 there wouldn’t be so much push back from me.
There are more devices like my nas box out there, with similar specifications! it’s not just about funds, but also the waste! I don’t agree with this “upgrade you’re mobile phone every half a year attitude we all seem to be accepting” maybe me living in the United Kingdom has something to do with my sustainable and economical attitude.
