Hi there,
am new to FreeNAS and thinking to run FreeNAS for home storage sharing files (mainly media files sized a few GBs) across Windows(computer) and android(mobile), the pool will be a bunch of HDDs; currently thinking 10, or might use 12 if more optimal.
The first question I have is while creating the volume, I was given the option like this:
Looks like this is a big RAID6 equivalent.. it just looks kind of awkward to me lol...To improve the performance a little, I was thinking to do two RAIDz, then stripe across the two RAIDz. So I try to drag the graph, I get this:
It gives the same useable capacity as two RAIDz, but the graphs looks like I will be getting a single RAIDz that has 5 vdev, each contains a two-drives-RAID0. Which one should work better?
It seems to me that the 2nd one is more problematic as it has more RAID components..
Any advise?
Thanks~
