Hello!
I got an HP Proliant gen8 and i want to install FreeNAS on an SSD (The SSD is in the ODD slot). The Problem is that the proliant can't boot from the ODD slot with activated AHCI mode, but it can boot from an USB Stick. So i thought it would be a nice idea to have to bootloader on the USB Stick, and OS on the SSD. It worked like a charm with Windows Server, so it should probably work linux too. Since i am not an Linux guru, i hope you guys can help me.
- Does USB Sticks decrease performance drastically (on 2.0 port)?
- Would it help to have at least the swap file on the SSD?
- At the moment the ProLiant has an Celeron G1610T. What CPU is recommend for FreeNAS?
best regards
