Do I need 2 drives?

[sdavisnz]

Will I need 2 identical drives. Or can I setup with a single large storage drive?

 

I don’t have the invite yet. So just prepping.

You do not need 2 drives. ZFS, the file system used by HexOS only requires a single drive. You won't have any redundancy but it'll work.

The installer seems to expect an OS drive plus two drives for data which it will set up as a mirror (RAID1), so while TrueNAS/ZFS may work with a single data disk, HexOS might not let you complete the setup.

I was able to finish the install, but I can't create storage pools without 2 spare disks.

I get the same error. The Learn more leads to a dead link:

to make it work you can go through the install than go into the TrueNAS webUI you are able to create a storage pool as well as install apps into that storage pool though HexOS does not recognize this storage pool.
