Bonjour tout le monde

Hi everybody,

I'm French as you can guess by the title:D

I'm a total newbie with freenas, even though I' ve been using v.7 for a year now

I' m currently building a new Freenas suited for v8 and ZFS (or at least I hope... )

Motherboard : M4A78LT-M LE
CPU : AMD Athlon II X2 255 3.1GHz
RAM : 2x4 GB

2x1TB in mirror
5 or 6x2TB in raid z (Spinpoint F4 Ecogreen S-ATA - 2 To - 32 Mo)

Hope to find some help here because zfs is just like chinese for me, I' m learning, but it' s difficult...

Salut :)

As described in this thread http://forums.freenas.org/showthread.php?158-What-number-of-drives-are-allowed-in-a-RAIDZ-config go with 6x2TB in raidz2 or 5x2TB in raidz.

The Samsung F4 is a 4KB drive, which is also a separate discussion found here: http://forums.freenas.org/showthread.php?66-4kb-Disks-and-FreeNAS
