Hello,
I'm considering moving from Synology to FreeNAS due to performance issues. However I'm a little worried about the drive compatibility since Synology has really crappy hardware compatibility and I suspect it might be the same for most non-Windows machines.
So here's my current plan:
Mobo: ASRock Rack D1541D4I-2L2T
HBA: LSI SAS 9211-8i
Storage drives: 8 x Seagate st8000nm0016, 6 for RAIDZ2 and 2 for mirror
VM drives: 2 x Seagate Nytro XF1230 480GB, mirror
Boot drive: Intel m.2 Optane 16GB or 32GB
Does anyone have any experience with listed hardware, especially those drives? It seems that there are people having problems with st10000nm0016 and I personally had bad experience with st8000nm0016 and Synology. Also I can't find any real life experience with XF1230 online.
Thanks
