So I have 12 x 6TB drives in my machine. This server is running FreeNAS 9.3.
I'm looking to use it for Plex media and to backup data as well as retrieve files from it. Do you guys recommend me using 10 drives for Plex (RaidZ2) and using the other 2 drives for data (mirror)?
So in this case I have 10 drives with 43TB for my media & 2 drives with 5.3TB for my data. Or do just recommend me do a big pool with 12 drives in RaidZ2 and then separate them by Dataset?
My chassis holds 16 drives so my plan is to add more drives if my Plex media collection needs to expand as well as my data.
