I am currently running TrueNAS on an old Dell C2100 and am likely getting a R720 8LFF to upgrade to next week.
Current layout:
4 x 960G SAS SSD 12Gbps mirrored
5 x 8T SAS HDD 12Gbps RAIDz2
The 720 does not have enough drive bays so I am looking to add a 2.5" shelf and wondering which is ideal between Dell, HP, and Netapp. Big disks will stay in the server, small will go to the shelf and may be adding some SFF HDD to shelf as well.
Planned layout:
6 x SSD mirrored
2 x three disk RAIDz1 (Open to other config but only have three spare disks to migrate to unless I pull everything from backup)
