Hi dear Truenas family,
Thanks for all the encouragement and support. After much sweating and perseverance, I have finally managed to get things up. I had a right nightmare getting my paws on the correct memory for my system.
It has now dawned on me that this is only half of the story. I have done a lot of reading and stuck at trying to decide if Raidz-2 or Raisz-3 is the best way to go. I have a pair of Samsung 980Pro NVME I would like to use for VM and some of the more demanding applications I will install in a stripped configuration which will all be backed up to the HDD hard drives.
I would like to have performance and data integrity. Would it make sense to apply encryption when creating the storage pools? I am wondering if there is much of a performance overhead when encryption is applied please?
I would welcome your valued inputs before I do a newbie error which will hurt later. Thanks and my sincere appreciation as always.
