So i am building a massive Plex storage box and i need to know the best way to setup the ZFS to maximize storage without causing problems.
My hardware:
Supermicro X9SRL-F
XEON E5-2680V2 10 CORE
8 x Samsung 16GB PC3L-12800R 2Rx4 DDR3-1600 ECC Registered Memory
HP H220 6Gbps SAS PCI-E 3.0 HBA LSI 9207-8i P20 IT mode
24 bay Supermicro 4U Chassis with backplane.
24 10TB WD Red Drives
I have read around the forums that ZFS does not like having a single vdev above 10 drives? Is this still true? What would be better and more stable.
3 8 Drive ZFS raidz2
2 12 Drive ZFS raidz2 -- obv this would give me more flat storage but with it being 2 12 drive vdevs i don't want to run into issues with it.
Other suggestions are welcome.
Last question, would 128GB of ram be enough for 200TB of storage? I know the general rule is 1GB per 1TB but that just isn't feasible when storage is getting this high as the 32GB ram chips are crazy expensive. This box will be only used for a plex media server streaming 1080 and a single 4k stream.
As always thanks for any help.
