Hi there,
I'm new to OMV and am planning a new build right now. So far this board has helped a lot clearing questions, but one still exists:
Are there any objections in using an external USB-harddrive as a system drive for OMV? I've read the threads saying that a USB Thumb drive should not be used due to the high write ops, any similar concerns on a regular (HDD/SSD) USB Drive?
The reason I'm asking is that I would run out of SATA Ports if a plan to use a 6 disc ZFS array (not yet decided ).
Any other suggestions / ideas on how to connect a SSD/HDD to the internal USB Port? Has anyone tried a USB/SATA adapter yet?
Regards
