Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of moving my FreeNAS jails to a separate usb stick along with the syslog. My reason to do this is because I would like for my nas to be able to spin the drives down for extended periods of time.
Unfortunately I am out of sata ports, so just putting a small drive/ssd is not an option at the moment. So I was thinking of popping a 64 gig usb stick in the system and using that.
Has anybody tried this? and is it a crazy idea?
If usb is a bad idea what would be an option for a simple sata controller (2 ports or so)? I can't afford an IBM M1015 since they are crazy expensive where I live.
