hello, Ive had a "nas" of sorts comprised of usb and NAS drives tied to router and PC. Im ready to build a FreeNas box but have a couple of questions. I watched a few install videos and read the forums
Ive got about 12 TB of data. Im assuming Ill need about 2x that for this to work right? so about a 24 TB system. so more likley 2 boxs. I was gong to use 4 tb drives....
my main question is about drive failure. is it my understanding that once the system is up and stable, that when any drive fails, I can simply pull that drive and replace it with a blank formated replacement and the system will simply refill that drive from shared drives? this is my main reason to build this system.
Any redirect to specific forums threads is greatly appreciated..
thanks in advance
