Hi gang! I would so appreciate some advice/recommendations on how to setup my drive pools to work with TimeMachine Backups + Windows Backup + Plex Server + File storage. *Annnd if it's not to crazy have some GPU's mining coin.
*note that the mining is more of a "in a perfect world" wish and can be disregarded if the topic needs to be focused on separating the backup, Plex and file storage requirements to keep it simple
My main question is how to setup the storage pool? Maybe I'm over complicating this in my head. -The storage pool is just that and I can create ZFS Data sets for TimeMachine, Windows Backup and File storage.
But what a about VM's? Should I use that for Windows backup and Plex?
Here is my system:
12 x WD RED 6TB + (2 Spares) RAIDZ2 2x 6 disk vdevs
Supermicro 4U Server
CSE-846A-R1200B Chassis
X9DRI-F Motherboard
2x E5-2650 v2 2.6ghz 8-Core 8.0 GT/s / 20mb Smart Cache CPUs
16x 8gb PC3-10600R Server Memory = 128GB
24x 3.5" Trays
SAS2-846EL1 Backplane
LSI 9210-8i JBOD Controller *Flashed to IT mode
2x 1200w PSU
APC 1500w UPS
