Just throwing a build together in this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112300
I currently have 7 drives for the build 6 are 1.5tb and 1 that is 2tb, so I am guessing I am going to loose the 500gb off that drive but oh well.
I keep running into drive setups and everyone is having 6 drives in raidz2, can I do 7? so... 5+2? this is just for home use, would you recommend I just do 6+1 Raidz1 and get more storage out of it? I like the security of the double parody. Also is it recommended to have 2 flash drives hooked in incase 1 goes down would it swap to the others image?
