Truew nas / hex OS book configuration?

With a lot of good help on this forum I’ve gathered together parts to make an eypc home lab

Looking for some advice or validation on the best possible boot configuration for it

In my old 45 drives storage server I used 2 micron SSDs in raid 0 I think

For this one I would love to do an NVMe boot

Wondering if the : 4 Bay removable PCIe5 bifurcation card would work to boot off of

(Already have a couple of those) The motherboard is PCIe 4 but I assume it can backwards compatible

CPU: epyc 75F3
Motherboard: super micro h12ddl-ct

So yeah what would be the fastest and most secure redundant solid etc etc boot option be

And then which server class and.2 NVMe drives should I be considering like super micro?

Racing will be booting off of two and raise zero unless there’s a reason use three or four cuz that card supports 4

Or in that same card I can put my L2R as well

I think you’ve got it covered. You don’t need big or expensive NVMEs for the OS boot devices. If you are looking for redundancy for the boot drive I think you mean RAID 1 not RAID 0.

BTW, if you can you might want to proofread your speech-to-text output a bit, it’s not doing so well with some of the tech jargon.

Thanks yeah I do need to proofread a little better I’m so dyslexic that I often miss the mistake

Yeah I was thinking probably 5:12 gig or 1 TB in raid 1

I want to use longer lasting server m.2s though so I’m just kind of looking for a recommendation on what brand/skews to look at

I’ve built over a hundred gaming PCs with every year the highest end m.2 from Samsung or Seagate but I know I would not use those in a server that’s running 24/7 You need something that has a little bit more endurance
