1. Third-party memory does not work on firmware 5.0 176. But on AliExpress, in one of the reviews on F2-423, the buyer writes that he was able to bypass this protection. 2. So, if I upgrade to 5.0.158 firmware, will the third-party memory module work for me? I have no idea how the AliExpress review...

I'm currently using TrueNAS Core, and only for supporting SMB and NFS datasets. It's primarily for local backups and file sharing; I haven't attempted anything related to virtualization on it. My understanding is that TrueNAS Scale is the preferred solution when virtualization is a desired feature, ...

Are you sure the drives are NVMe and not SATA? Both are available with an m.2 interface.

I've been running TrueNAS on t...

Well, the fine folks at TerraMaster are telling me that this issue is caused by using memory that's not on their compatibility chart, and are apparently refusing to continue helping diagnose this issue until I remove the memory.

Hmm.

New F4-423 arrived today and I installed the 4 "renewed" Seagate Exos X14 12TB drives I'd acquired (yes, I know they're not recommended but the price too good to ignore). After installing the drives I connected a display and keyboard via HDMI so I could watch the boot process. On boot, it ...
