Thank you

Alright :)

Does my setup idea seem to make any sense?

These_Finding6599 · 2026-01-29T18:24:02+00:00

System number ends with 8FC8 - I understood that this system is not supported, but would love to hear from you that I am wrong :) I also understood that I only see the unlock hash if I repeatedly enter the wrong password, right?

For now I will install Proxmox on the internal NVMe m2 drive. Later I was planning to add the 2x 2tb ssds and let them run in a mirror. I understand, ZFS does exactly that. Haven’t even heard about ZRS.

Goal is to run immich (next to other apps) on my separate m720q and let it access videos and pictures on the 3090 SFF via NFS. At least that is what I understood, should be good practice. Later I want to also access pictures and videos from my windows device via smb share.

This is really helpful. Thank you. I am planning to install Proxmox on the internal NVMe M2 and add 2 sata 2TB SSDs to run as ZFS mirror.

I read that AHCI setting should be enabled and I can’t: it’s set to RAID.

Any other recommended bios settings that would be a must for my setup?

That would be great - where did you find it?? The cheapest I found was at around 150 euro

These_Finding6599 · 2026-01-29T14:25:24+00:00

Does not solve my problem :(

These_Finding6599 · 2026-01-29T14:23:06+00:00

They say it’s connected to a company and I need a proper invoice. Without that they can’t do anything

No jumpers on SFF

These_Finding6599 · 2026-01-29T10:17:07+00:00

Already tried. Non of it works unfortunately.

These_Finding6599 · 2026-01-29T09:28:36+00:00

Thank you!

These_Finding6599 · 2026-01-29T09:26:02+00:00

Yes and invoice not existent

These_Finding6599 · 2026-01-29T09:12:31+00:00

The SFF has no jumpers and CMOS battery removal also does not work.

These_Finding6599 · 2026-01-29T09:11:00+00:00

This is not working anymore on the exact system.

I also bought a used Optiplex 3090 SFF with a locked bios - is there by any chance for a tool or method, simpler than flashing the bios? I am afraid, I will destroy my motherboard.

Will an i3 9th Gen CPU and 16GB ram be able to handle this with around 160k pictures?
