I tried searching for my questions but just can't find the answers so I am making this post. Apologies if there is
a suitable answer via the search, which means I am not coming up with great search terms.
To start off with, I am excited to begin my truenas journey with a newly purchased mini XL+ (nas from here on). I also consult on the side
and looking to promote the mini XL+ to at least 2 businesses. I will create an intro post in the upcoming days and I hope
not to bore people :)
HARDWARE:
- Can someone to point me to the Mini XL+ Qualified RAM support page, I would like to bump from 32G to 64G
- I did see the qualified drive page, but is there a community driven qualified HDD page available (for next question)?
- I have spare seagate exos x12 and x14 drives, can these be used in the Mini XL+
- I heard stories that the drives get too hot in the Mini XL+?
- is this true?
- are there any good solutions?
EXPANSION:
- If I only populate 2-4 bays to start with, and add 2-4 more drives later
- do the automatically come into the poll and become available for use?
- can I mix-match drive sizes?
- If i have my nas fully populated with drives
- hot swappable for larger drives?
- auto expanded and brought into the pool
EXCRYPTION:
- One of my clients requires that full drive encryption is used for data at rest. I did see something in my searching that
said SED(s) are the only full disk encryption supported. is this true? or is there also support for zfs "based" encryption
of even LUKS?
- Then I have the questions under EXPANSION but for fully encrypted drives. I guess I should also ask is the "answer"
is applicable to both SED drives and the before mentioned zfs/luks encryption
Again, if these answers are in the forums (sure they are) I need to come up with better search terms
