So I am building a bare-metal FreeNAS with no future uses of VMs.
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2650L
Motherboard: SuperMicro X9SRi-F
RAM: 4x 16GB DDR3 ECC (CT16G3ERSLD4160B)
HBA: Dell H310 6Gbps SAS HBA w/ LSI 9211-8i P20 IT Mode
Hard Drives:
12x 8TB Western Digital RED from EasyStore
1x 500GB Samsung EVO 860 Cache drive
So I was reading that I should not do more than 11 drives in one pool. I was looking at doing 12 drives in a single RAID-Z2. What would you recommend and why?
I will mainly be using this for media files and recordings.
