Hi everyone!
I'm very new to FreeNas and I've been reading through the forums to try to gain a good understanding of how to configure my new system.
I currently have an existing server with the following hard drive configuration:
I am in the process of researching to build a brand new server (I have read through the Hardware Recommendations thread that was posted by CyberJock) and will be attempting to use as much of the recommended hardware as possible.
I was also looking through the PDF/PPT on the basics of VDEV configurations and I was wondering if you guys have a good idea on how I can configure my hard disks listed above.
I understand that I will need to buy new disks as I am adding redundancy. I will also like to eventually expand the capacity so I will need to configure my VDEV so it is setup properly.
Any ideas?
Thanks everyone! :)
