Yeah - I made a similar mistake with using a 1Tb M.2 boot drive. Totally wasted. For now. Don't know if there's a plan to be able to use it more, or make it more secure & tolerant of failure. But my next install will see the 1Tb boot drive swapped out for a 256Gb boot drive I have sitting doing nothing. Even that is overkill for now. My other two M.2 drives are SK hynix Gold P31 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen3 M.2 2280 for power efficiency. Can you do Link Aggregation with multiple 2.5G NICs? Worth a look. I'll certainly be hoping for LAGG when I get round to building a HexOS 1.x build (i.e. non-beta).

Do you have the App Curation Templates documented anywhere? Was wondering if I could take a read of the documentation and try my hand at building a template?

I've done all the ElectricEel updates and not had any problems. Just don't go to Fangtooth - I think that's the advice?

It's not so much new gear for me, but I'm looking for anything which maximises M.2 slots. I have never bothered to have or build a NAS before now, but the power available at this point is pretty amazing, so going all-flash seems key for me. I used to track how filesystems were going with tiered storage, as I planned slow spinning rust tier and a modest amount of SSD for fast tier. But these days I just don't see the need for HDDs in there, so tiered storage no longer seems necessary. I do like the idea of the Jonsbo N5 with water cooling though 🙂

So I suppose this articulates what I'm getting at. I would rather have some idea of when updates are planned, than having to keep checking the forums to find out if there's been a new release. I need to rebuild my HexOS system at the moment and would possibly wait for a new ISO to install if I had any idea of timescales.

It would be nice if users were allowed to select which development stream they want to be a part of. Stable will obviously not become a thing until the 1.0 release, but when this happens it would be nice if we could choose whether to sit on Stable, Testing, or Dev software streams. With obvious caveats for buyer beware if you are in Dev or Testing streams. The number of users at sign-up suggests there are a lot of tech-savvy people here. This community could be leveraged in the form of much wider testing than is currently possible. Would also be neat to have a few more Blog updates than at present. Perhaps monthly? It's not a great feeling having paid for something, then getting sparse updates on how things are progressing. The way Immich presents it's Roadmap is very nice while keeping everything simple.
