Unraid on Supermicro SATA SuperDOM / SATADOM?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Supermicro has this feature where they have dedicated SATA ports on some of their motherboard that support some kind of device that acts like a harddrive but is a small flash drive but faster then a ssd, they call this "SuperDOM" (https://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/SATADOM.cfm)

 

I am interested in hearing if i can use a device like this for my unraid install rather then a slow flash usb drive? What say you?

You'd ultimately have to try it to see what happens.

 

But, you can run Unraid on a USB 1.0 / 1.1 with no speed degradation.  The OS runs completely from RAM and the flash drive is only used to store the files needed to unpack and keep the various settings.
