Just keep in mind things like cache-size, RPM, etc. The speed of the "raid"-set can be impacted (negatively) if it's not equal or higher than the current ones. So keep that in mind while trying to look for something. Unless you *really* need to expand it with 1 disk, maybe wait out until prices are going back down?

A quick update on this, after a few months of running, and now it's been running smoothly. After exchanging the Verbatim with some samsung drives, everything's working really well at the moment. Only one thing I have changed with the configuration, and that is exchanging the fans from Jonsbo that are in there by default, to some Noctua Fans (dual NF-A9 for the bottom part, and added a single NF-A8 for the top part). This actually had a temperature difference from around 20 degrees Celsius, so if you are considering this, and don't have active airconditioning in the room which will cool down the area really well, I definitely recommend to have the fans replaced with something that's better.

And I do run some VM's on it as well / applications. So I prefer to have more memory, than to not have enough. 🙂

Quick update on this, I had 2 failures of the verbatim (OS) disks in a short time already, so I would recommend going for different OS disks. Because they were 256, and other decent brands didn't really have something similar, I needed to put in bigger disks to replace this with those disks. So, if you can, put in things like, Seagate, Samsung, Corsair etc.

I just saw this @zczachor and I had a similar post myself, Maybe read some the things there, and look what suits your needs: I also linked it in the other post but this was my final build: https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/b/dHBj4D One of the things to keep in mind: Intel and dedicated GPU is best if you want to use Plex on your HexOS installation. or even the on-board GPU for the intel I believe is slightly better then the on-board of AMD (I have not tested this personally, and for me an on-board AMD is enough, even as a Virtual machine).

I know there was an option to delete it, but I forgot where it was. If you select the old (unavailable) one, do you see a button there that will say: remove from my list?

Aah, I see what's happening. in my editor it's actually 3 lines, and not explaining that the 4 drives are in one raid. It mainly mentions that they are Mirrors for the SSD and nvme. Let me adjust it a bit more so the formatting is a bit more on what I expected.

Adjusted, thanks. can you explain what's the difference that makes one a Mirror, and the other a RAID Z1?

And it got published with the review. https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/b/dHBj4D I would like to know what you all think about it as well, so love to hear everyone's opinion about it!

I agree with this statement as well (voted for the right)

So, in the end I have the Dell HBA330, and have written a small guide what I did on PCPartpicker, but that's currently waiting moderation. Once it's published I will post the link here, also for people to see if they also want to build it. Thanks again everyone who has helped here!

So, update on what's happened so far. I got everything except the HBA card, and finished building this. When The HBA card arrived, I installed it and...... no disks.... so I was a bit annoyed / surprised. After fiddling a bit around, I found out that this card only works well if you have it running in a mode with the motherboard which allows *also* legacy settings. For some reason, no matter what I did, or how I tried to firmware update it, it did not wanted to be recognised. It looked to have worked on a different system, but in the end I can't get it to work with the current system. So. Now I have ordered a new card, and will be looking forward to when this arrives. I ordered the Dell PERC HBA330 PCIe 12G HBA (0J7TNV) as a replacement, which should arrive tomorrow. To test if the disks were working, I still had an old Areca RAID card lying around, and it looks that the disks are being seen by the devices (although it also looks like the RAID controller doesn't support these sizes 🤣). So, for now: I need to wait until the package is delivered and I hopefully have a happy NAS at that moment. Once everything is finished, I will post my final build & screenshots, as well as a full (sort of) step by step on why I choose things, and how I have build it. I will update once I have an update on this!

I can also confirm this. Also I noticed that the IPv6 address shown is originally the link-local address, and not the public address that I have. Changing the IPv4 also disables the IPv6 autodiscovery, and in HexOS I am currently missing the feature to set an static IP address there for IPv6. Is IPv6 support on the roadmap for the first full release, or will this be after?

For the "known issue" to first change the DNS; this looks to also not be able to be done? Just installed a new server, and I wanted to set a static IP. Adjusting the DNS and pressing update will not do anything. Let me know if I should put it in a different post. I tried to fill in DNS 1 only, DNS 1 & 2, and DNS 1, 2, & 3. None of it made me be able to update it.

So I did it, I ordered the hardware. List here: https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/RRGyrM I will try and make a bit of photo's on how things are going. to be updated soon™
