Hello,
I'm new to FreeNAS and will be setting mine up shortly, as the parts are on the way.
I'm starting with 2 3tb WD Red Drives in Raid 1 (or RAIDZ1) for 3TB usable space with 1 disk redundancy. My question is, later on I want to add another set of 3TB Drives and have it be run in RAID 10 or the ZFS equivalent. Is this possible to do after installation or is it necessary to have all 4 drives when I set up the zpool?
Side note: I wanted to add a Sandisk 120GB SSD as Cache, if I did that what kind of benefits would I see, I know that it is non-volatile memory so it should have less chance of corruption or errors, but would it see any kind of performance boost?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
