Can HEXOS run two differen't drive structures from the same machine on one license?


Recommended Posts

I'm new to creating servers/NAS etc.. I am building a PC with 6 storage drivers in two configurations: a Raid 5 3x22TB storage nas (for storing my business video footage on) and a Raid 5 3x8TB server/storage NAS to run jellyfish or hold personal files/videos.

Can I do that using HEXOS with only 1 license from the same machine? 

Probably a noob question. Thanks for your time!

You can do both on one server, only needing one license

However if you want to have both on separate servers you would need one license per server

 

On a side note hexos doesn't support raid 5 but we do support raid z1 which similarly has 1 drive of parity

 

Happy to answer any question you have

Amazing thank you!
One more question. Does HexOS support directly linking a NAS PC via USB 3.2gen2 to another PC? I was thinking up upgrading my LAN switch and PCIE lan adapters to 10gigabit ports. But i only need 10 gigabit to my main editing PC, so i figure a direct USB 3.2gen2 to USB 3.2gen2 is probably the most cost efficient way of doing this. These must be basic questions, but I can't seem to find the answers anywhere.

as far as i know hexos cannot do that.
i can see how that would be handy tho.

yeah when you are new homelabs and servers its hard to find things just by virtue of the correct terminology being completely foreign 

for example im sure you if searched if hexos supports multiple storage pools (pool = group of drives), you would find your answer for the first question, but can't expect someone knew to know things like pool.


but again im more than happy to help
im sure there are users on this form that can attest to me answering the same questions dozens of times.
