Is TrueNAS FreeBSD or is it Linux now?
They lost me with the FreeBSD to Linux switch.
I'm still running TrueNAS Core, but I'm in the process of moving to the Community Edition. I'm doing a wholesale backup data, start from scratch, restore data to fix some initial choices in my zpool I wasn't happy with.

I'm dreading setting up Plex and Syncthing again so I've been dragging my feet. Seeing the comment about dreading each update isn't exactly lifting my feet out of the dirt.

Anyone know what options there are for hosting 5 or 6 external drives on a Raspberry Pi 5 to use RAIDZ2?
Most SATA PCIe adapters will work out of the box now, but powering the drives is a little annoying. There are a few HATs or CM boards that have SATA ports that also distribute power, like the Penta SATA HAT.
Do you know if running 5 drives on a Pi5 is reliable/stable with a Penta HAT? I think the biggest issue is that drives could potentially go online/offline either by bus disconnection or power (which could be the reason for bus disconnection).

there's a typo in the word 'available' :)
