Hey, smart people, 1) would this be a decent enough device to put StartOS on? and 2) can I swap the 1 TB SSD for a 4 TB SSD?
Dell Optiplex 7050 Micro Desktop PC, Intel Core i7-6700T, 32 GB RAM
Thank you in advance

Yes!
I run StartOS on a dell desktop with an i5 processor and 16GB RAM. That should be fine.

Any 4TB SSD recommendations? I'm assuming it's PCIe form factor
Yes and yes 👍
Hi freeborn 🤟😉🏴☠️ nice to meet you 🤝 Yes, you can swap the 1 TB SSD for a 4 TB SSD, as long as the new SSD fits within the system’s specifications (size, form factor, etc.). The Dell Optiplex 7050 typically supports M.2 SSDs, but I recommend double-checking the form factor (e.g., M.2 2280) and interface (SATA or NVMe) to ensure compatibility with your 4 TB SSD. Also, if you’re replacing the storage, make sure to back up any important data before the swap!
I have something similar, but with the price of memory and hard drive upgrades I think I could get the Start9 itself for not much more.
