Hi everyone!
I'm planning on using a gen8 Microserver (which I already had), along with 4 x 2tb WD red drives as a home nas.
I understand that ideally the hardware raid controller would be set to JBOD / AHCI to let freeNAS directly access the drives, however this isn't optimal for the microserver - it leads to significantly increased fan speeds.
Is it acceptable to run each drive as a separate RAID0 array? I would still have smart monitoring through the onboard ilo (with email notifications). Are there any other disadvantages?
Thanks a lot!
Arthur
