Hello guys,
First of all, please excuse me for my english, it's not my native language.
I am planning to build myself a new nas. I currently run with a DS1815+ Synology and i'm quite happy with it, but i'm about to run out of space and I'd like something i could expand more easily in the future.
My NAS will almost only be used to share files with my HTPC (running kodibuntu). No encoding or transcoding needed.
I plan to use 8x4Tb HDD with RaidZ2.
I read cyberjocks guides about hardware recommendations, zfs for noobs and ECC Ram, and here's what i think i'll go for :
Anyway, what do you think about it ? Nothing fancy here, but i'd like your opinion.
I've got one more question :
I read in cyberjocks guide that if you lose a vdev, you lose the whole zpool. Pretty clear. But is it possible (and secure) to have more than one zpool ?
If so, what's the point to had more than one vdev to a zpool ? Is it not best to had a zpool, and not jeopardize all the datas if one of the vdev dies ?
Thanks by advance guys !
