Number of disks

With HexOS I am forced to use 3 drives otherwise it won't work properly? I have an ssd (HexOS) and one hdd and I want to be able to use the system without the need for RAID. I understand it is better to have RAID, but I have a 24tb hdd and another one of the same size costs a lot of money.

Hi @markrieder. I get your frustration (24TB is a REALLY big drive) but you should know that even TrueNAS, the underlying OS, requires the same thing. You can read that HERE. Best of luck.

single drive pools is a feature that will eventually be supported.
Jonp is very aware of our frustration.

I hope so, I want RAID on critical data, but I have a bunch of hoarder data 😃that I don't want to invest the money in for extra hard drives

I completely agree, i want my apps to be on a single ssd with a large hdd pool for my data i don't wanna lose
