Hi Guys
Im taking the plunge with a HP Microserver N40L (8gb RAM) with the following disks:
1x 3TB
3x 1TB
My needs are 500GB of important data. 2TB of movies/shows that I plan to plex.
I was planning to use the 3x 1TB for important data, maybe in RAIDZ1 config. Then use the 3TB for movies/shows and an extra backup of the 500GB. Ill also have some offsite backup plan for the 500gb.
I've read up on all the basics and have a fair grasp on vdevs/zpools/raidz and ive setup and installed the machine and freenas is working and the disks are showing...just need to configure them.
Just wanted to get some opinions on the best configuration to get the most out of what i have.
