My first setup for TrueNas core was a bit over a year ago with a rack mounted 4u case from a automation machine tear down. I put my old gaming motherboard in there and shoe horned 8 eight TB drives, but I set it up as Raidz1. I never had any issues. More that I read, that was not wise. I recently got a Dell r720xd with a 128gb of ram. I installed a 240gb ssd I had in bay 1 and then I bought 11 14tb drives to build into a pool. My original plan was to do a single vdev Raidz2 with the 11 drives, but read that there are better options. I was using about 32Tb of the original 50tb on the old machine. I was hoping to get around 100tb on the new setup. How would you set up the 11 drives?
