Hello Community!
Well after getting the TrueNAS Core installed (and booting...!), I got excited and wanted to get going with my RAID config. I wanted to configure, what I thought made sense, 2 x 4Tb (WD Black) Stripped Disk (Raid 0) + 1 x 8Tb (WD Red plus) Mirrored (Raid 1) of the Stripped disks...
This config would allow me to have quick access to the Raid 0 while having the Raid 1 giving me redundancy without the use of a Backup.
Got really disappointed after researching Google and this forum that it might not be possible as Raid 10 requires 4 disks??? I thought that I could mirror a Stripped set of disks to one physical drive with the same capacity... Lots of posts with old version of FreeNAS but nothing really new with TrueNAS...
Would the new TrueNAS Core (I am running TrueNAS-12.0-U6.1) allow the setup I am looking for? If not, what you be the best configuration to achieve what I would like? Should I just buy another 2 x 4Tb or bite the bullet and buy another 3 x 8Tb and get more storage? If I buy more disks, how should I configure the other drives?
Thank you in advance for your help!
