Hi,
I am new to TrueNAS Scale. I am planning to migrate my home server from Windows Server 2022 to TrueNAS. For some background the current setup is:
Dell Poweredge T440
2 x Intel Xeon Silver 4208
32gb of ram
3 x 8tb Seagate Ironwolf drives in a windows storage pool
1 x 1tb running the OS
I have plex running and one Linux Server VM that's hosting Adguard DNS
I want to move to TrueNAS Scale running off of an external USB SSD.
I plan to have another 500gb USB SSD that I will use for apps and VM's
I have all of my data backed up from my windows storage pool to an 8tb external drive.
My question is can I boot into TrueNAS Scale, setup my pool using the 3 x 8tb Ironwolf drives in a raidz1 (I know they will be wiped so will have no data on them)
So now I have a storage pool with nothing on it yet.
Can I install Plex and get it configured and running, but have it point to the external drive for it's library temporarily while the data is copying over to the data storage pool? Or am I not going to be able to use my Plex server until all of the data copies over?
