I ordered what I think should work from ebay from a different seller, so will test it in the next week.
For my homelab use-case this is all overkill, i’m running 1gb connection pretty much everywhere right now, and only using the nas for things like frigate and jellyfin. I don’t even need l2arc or slog etc, and I originally had no plans to run VMs, so I’m not really sure what i’m going to do with it other than to see if it works, and how fast it is lol.
But will keep this thread posted, and probably do an update to my homelab thread with the current changes I’ve done to my HL15/rack in general.
Side note, I also ordered another 2x16gb of memory as well, so if the optane doesn’t work out, i’ll just go with 8x16 ddr 4.
