I would love to see a thread of the machines people are putting this OS on. If people could post the specs of the machine such as storage, RAM, CPU, GPU?, etc with the optional performance results, that would probably help a lot of other people know how to get similar results.

I'm going to be using a custom built system for my install.  It's currently running TrueNAS Scale 24.10.0.2.

  • Erying motherboard with an ES 11'th gen laptop CPU (I have no idea which one it's supposed to be.  I can only tell you it's got 8c/16t and runs at 2.2GHz
  • 16GB DDR4 RAM
  • LSI 9211-8i HBA (in IT mode)
  • Six 6TB SATA disks
  • Silverstone CS380 case

This is actually my 'backup' storage server, and is what I'll be using for HexOS.  🙂

I've got a Zimaboard with 2x 4TB Seagate Ironwolf drives mounted on the back of my TV, bolted into the VESA mount of my TV.
I really think this is the perfect home setup as long as your TV is not wall mounted. It's also practical to have the TV there when you need a monitor for the server, as I just did during the setup.

      • ~$900 w 6x10TB incl. cold spare

Really like that setup. What do you guys think of potentially running this on an actual NAS like this one?

UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus (Intel Pentium Gold 8505 5-Core CPU, 1 * 10GbE, 1 * 2.5GbE, 4K HDMI)
