The first version of TrueNAS I used was on a USB stick and it worked fine |
| 10 |
so I'm fairly confident you'd be at least functional. |

One advantage of starting out this way was is that you can try multiple NAS |
| 13 |
systems on different flash drives without making a hard commitment. |

Keep in mind stuff like log files gets written to the OS drive whether it's |
| 16 |
a flash drive or not so long term it wasn't a solution I wanted to stick |
| 17 |
with long term. In my case I have about 30 old hard drives from old |
| 18 |
machines so I just found one and used it. In my case it was a 1TB WD Green |
| 19 |
drive circa 2012 that I purchased for a RAID but learned the hard way not |
| 20 |
to use. ;-) |

Whatever you do, have fun. |
