Hello! Im gonna start by saying that English is my second language. There gonna be a lot of errors in my text and im sorry for it. First just as an introduction, im currently studying to become an IT, and almost done with my school. But well it not that great.. im learning more outside of school and they actually didn't teach me a lot of new thing to be honest! There's one specific project I made that helped me a lot, my Home Server. So here my setup:
Spec:
CPU: i9-7900x
Motherboard: Asus TUF x299 MARK 2
Ram: Corsair 64Gb
GPU: MSI GTX 970
Additional peripheral: adapter for 8 more sata port (Actually 7 one specific port make freenas crash on start probably broken)
Additional peripheral: Network card for 2 more port.
Case: Rosewill RSV-L4500
That mainly what I use briefly. I currently run ESxi on a sata port on the motherboard. The thing i noticed is that if i want to passthrough the sata from the board it need to be the full controller(not possible since my ssd with my OS is on one of the port). I recently got a NVME to replace my ssd and free the sata port. Now to the point i need to transfert everything to the new disk, I noticed the bad configuration I made early on my FreeNas. I simply added disk after another like an extend without thinking about it. Now that im starting again, I would like to make a nice configuration and easy to work with! Here my old setup(at least how im able to explain it)
Total disk: (not all plugged in)
5x western digital red 8tb
4x western digital red 3tb
2x 1tb (from reused disk)
2x western digital blue 500gb(reused too)
Right now i have 3 network drive, Movie, Tv Shows and Temp. Everything is backup on other drive(did it recently to format everything currently on my setup) I would like to have multiple network drive (No raid needed) and then another drive with raid for important file. I don't really care if i lose my movies and tv show are lost on disk failure. But the one on raid gonna have important file inside like all my programming project and documents.
Like i said early i didnt really learn in school and hard drive configuration exept the very base is not my speciality... I would like some help to understand how to setup my drive to have everything setup. Im using a Windows VM with plex for media and other computer to access it too. The best would be to have everything for my media on a single network drive and another drive for my important file. But i dont want to kinda split everything on every drive. is it possible to logically extend my drive so when i lose one only some file is lost and not all the disk?
If more information is needed i can provide more simply ask! I really want to understand how to work correctly with FreeNas but i dont know where to start!
Thanks everyone!
