Hi youins
I'd like to know, and/or get others' opinions on the best way to configure my disks.
I have 6 identical drives (size shouldn't matter).
I want reasonable data loss protection and reasonable speed.
Basically safe and quick.
Total storage size only needs to be the size of one disk(larger is ok too).
My current setup is 5 disks in RAIDZ2 and 6th disk as spare.
Using 500GB disks this gives me 1.3TB storage size which is more than enough.
What are the drawbacks or advantages to using this setup?
What would be a better configuration and why?
I should have addressed this directly to matthewowen but here it is publicly :).
Peace,
CB
