Hi guys,
I'm building my NAS, but do not have enough money for all my needs just now. I was wondering if i can start with two disks, mirror them and in the future add two disks for striping, so i would end up with a Striped Mirror Vdev ZPool without data loss. And how would i do that? With FreeNAS that is, obviously ;)
I read something here:
Striped Mirrored Vdev’s (RAID10)
This is very similar to RAID10. You create a bunch of mirrored pairs, and then stripe data across those mirrors. Again, you get the added bonus of checksumming to prevent silent data corruption. This is the best performing RAID level for small random reads. How To Create Striped Mirrored Vdev Zpool
But it's a bit too technical for me to dive into just now. Just need a little advice before i buy.
Thanks!
