Hi, I'm a happy user of two FreeNAS servers for a few years now, on one of them I'm a little bit on the edge in terms of storage.
I have a 7200rpm 500to HDD laying around that I was thinking of using just for my iSCSI virtual disk, keeping it off the main ZFS pool to get some extra space in it.
With my networking I think I could benefit the extra speed compared to the 5400rpm main pool. However noise does matter as the server is in the same room as where I sleep, and I was thinking about using the slowdown and acoustic level option that I never used yet in FreeNAS.
What do you think about those ? And also if there's no replication or snapshots on this pool, is there anything from FreeNAS that could wake the disk regularly ?
The idea is that the disk would spin up only when I'm actually using my main computers connected to the iSCSI, would that work ? And does it really affect disk if it's just one or 2 spin up/down a day ?
Thanks
