Most of the time I use a new drive and preserve my working stuff at any price.

In this case you are better installing with the onboard controller even if slower... It' will work a lot faster if you use the fast one for working stuff, temp and paging file...

And you can bring it to wear the fast drive and save your os support from a lot of temp writes.

I used ssd this way with hdds and it really worth it.

And in regard of security, if you think UEFI is better than BIOS you have a real problem...

There is no interest in hacking a basic I/O system... What about something that can run code instead...

I honestly tried to have boards bioses "root kits" catch and they failed to infect... And if succeed, cleared with a jumper move.

UEFI is another story. The things I find makes me think a bios boot device is the most secure way of booting a x86/64 os... lolll

Another Server Update...

I'm a genius... I was able to put all the UEFI boot partitions of all Vms in the same virtual mirror drive. So there is only one fat in the whole system.

Truenas installation was a lot easier than Proxmox and the Poweredge Bios. I already have mapped array with direct IOMMU and paravirtualized core drivers...

All settings are available for the same direct pcie lanes access with up to 3 x16 GPU and I have still 4x8 free loll.

All the basics are there, the CPU's never reached 4% at peak, lollll... I'm left with 384G ram, 36 CPU and 1TB for the AI boot drive. 4TB raid0 for thinking space and whatever GPU I add...

This is where it gets tough. The interesting models requires beasty cards for real. These server casing have very poor dispositions to accommodate a 48 gig ram video card. So atm the most fitting card is just a little lot under specs.

I talked to my NVidia connections and going to be directed toward high density computing GPU division.

I cant wait to see the price lolll.
