On Linux, you’re welcome to do it, some users have had success with it.
However, we’re not officially supporting it in Linux Support.
It’s a community support endeavor for Linux users.
Being clear, I (and Linux support) will offer best effort support, but make no promises it will be a seamless support experience as we recommend using internal drives and expansion for storage.
That is the official Linux position on the matter. I’m not going to debate this going forward, appreciate the feedback. Thank you.
