I think the following questions would be answered with a "recommended hardware for common features" section on that first post? Are there features that will be limited if a 16gb SSD is used? I have a spare Optane m.2 kicking around. I'm not a server nerd, as most Hex OS users are likely to be, but does caching and/or journalling go on the boot SSD, or is that another drive again? I have some familiarity with Unraid running on a USB, so any SSDs in the system are fair game for storage, and excess storage on the boot drive has been useless for my purposes.

I'm pretty sure that's well beyond the function of the Hex OS wrapper. That kind of functionality needs to be built in True NAS, and I'm sure it'd be adopted into Hex OS very quickly from there.
