Is this the the way to do it?
Hi guys,
I have no spend a lot hours on with my new storage solution should look like.
Hardware:
Intel I3-2100T CPU
Intel DH67CF-B3 H67 Mini-itx MB
8GB ram
2x 2TB Seagate Barracuda Green 5900RPM SATA/600 (New)
2x 2TB WD20EARS SATA/300 (sits in my Win7 PC)
2x 2TB WD20EARX SATA/600 (New)
1x 60GB SSD OCZ SOLID 3
ADAPTEC 1430SA SATA Controller
I started out with Ubuntu server, but I believe FreeNAS has won my heart :)
The only thing I will miss on FreeNAS is Dropbox, but I get ZFS :D
So the SSD is of no real use with FreeNAS, was my first thoughts, when I saw FreeNAS is going to run of my 4GB USB stick.
But then I stumbled upon ARC, L2ARC and mirroring the zil.
So I was thinking about making 2 volumes with RaidZ giving me 8 TB of data. Splitting the drives, so one of each model is in the 2 volumes.
But the L2ARC and logs on the SSD (no idea how, I am sure I can find some guide somewhere).
My system is going to run FreeNAS+mumble+LAMP(or what the package is called on BSD), maybe some software to manage a CCTV.
There wont be much work for the HDD's but I do run torrents 24/7, so I was thinking about leaving one of the HDD's out of the raid and leave all torrent activity on that.
Does this sound stupid?
How would you do it?
Regards
Thomas
