Hi all!
I'm trying to set up an archive storage pool for replication tasks, and data that is only accessed infrequently. I have 16 drives now and will be updating to 24 drives. (500gb)
My previous plan was to create vdevs of 4 disks, and every four disks I collected I would expand the pool, each vdev used raidz1.
However I talked with some people online and I got kinda scared of raidz1, I want to ask, should I continue my current plan or do something else?
One of the things I am considering is creating 4 vdevs of 6 drives each in raidz2, and updating my pool every six drives. I'm curious to know that community thinks! Thank you so much for reading
