Hi,
I found your website completely by chance and started to read as much as I can :-)
I am impressed, big thank you !
I have a small question but first I need to say that I am a real average person with not in depth knowledge in NASes.
A few years ago I managed to set up a NAS on my own, using OMV and various salvaged bits and pieces from old computers.
And it works(!) albeit not blazingly fast.
One thing I remember setting up my box -and it was really important for me- was that PMV required its own disk or at least (of course) its own partition.
Having the OS completely apart from my two mirrored data disks on a separate disk was/is of great value for me.
So now my questions:
With all those nice Synology/Qnap/Terramaster/etc NASes, where is the respective OS installed ?
Is it installed on the data disk? Or maybe on an SD card or USB thumb drive?
I want to buy one of these nice things (I like the QNAP TS-453Be) but I really don't want the OS to share physical space with my data disks.
Many thanks for your fantastic work
Kind regards
Michael
