Will freeNAS get benefit from these SSHD drive? The most of them I can find are for desktop, not for NAS, is it a huge concerns for home use?
I am building my first freeNAS box, according to my reading from some of the posts
MB: X10SL7-F (will do the it-mod on the built-in SAS2308)
RAM: 16GB
Case: Full ATX with 8x3.5" and 3x5.25"
CPU: Xeon E3-1231V3
I'm old IT tech but new to freeNAS. my feeling is HGST HDs have good reputations than others, but not sure if it DeskStart model is good for NAS. model H3IKNAS40003272SN, has 3-year warranty, home page: http://www.hgst.com/products/hard-drives/nas-desktop-drive-kit
Is 4TB a good choice or stick with 3GB with more disks?
Is it easy to change from RAIDZ1 to RAIDZ2 later by adding more HDs, or totally has to be rebuilt?
Too many questions in one thread.
