Most expensive mistake was finding out that there are forward and reverse cables. Next mistake, was finding out the different model numbers for the same size drive and that I had started putting SATA drives into my SAS backplane. I then bought the best controller ever, my LSI 9305i which of course required new cables. I learned to flash the BIOS on that controller too after FreeBSD ver. 11. Now there are cheap USB drives, and I found them, but honestly I love my new mirrored USB thumbnail sized Boot sticks and how well they Scrub. My last major item I learned after buying SSD’s for a Cache and Log drive. Yes I found I didn’t need them in my application and that my ECC memory was actually faster, and the Cache could actually compromise my Zpool. Thanks for the lessons, i think I’m getting it, and cant wait to learn what i can do with all this hardware.
