I all, I'm due to replace my freeness 7 system (8x1tb on a usas-l8i) with more storage.
I will have a new intel server board and xeon with 8th ecc ram and most likely a intel rs2wc080 controller. The disk bays I have are 10 3.5" in two ss-500's.
Disk wise I'm not sure if I should go with 2tb or 3tb and then what raid configuration.
Was thinking 5x3tb in raidz with a hot spare (so if I add another 5 disks down the track I can hare the hot spare) or raidz2 with 10 2tbs 2 on the motherboard headers....
Not sure please give me your suggestions :)
