Hello-
I need some help migrating away from MS Storage Spaces to a FreeNAS ZFS setup. My current MS Storage Spaces hardware is:
CPU: Intel Core-i7 4790K 4GHz
Mobo: ASUS Z97-A-USB31
RAM: 16 GB DDR3 Non-ECC <-- Looking at upgrading this to ECC depending on overall cost
HDD: 8 x 8TB WD Red Hard Drives configured in a 64TB MS Storage Pool with parity.
I currently use about 35 TB of the MS Storage Pool. I have one spare 8TB drive and possibly 2 6TB drives spare at the moment. I want to setup the FreeNAS ZFS pool as a RAIDZ-2 with 8x8TB drives. I will need to remove drives from the MS Storage Pool and add them to the ZFS Pool as I migrate the data, since I cannot afford to have two 8x8TB drive arrays.
My question is what initial setup should I use for the FreeNAS ZFS Storage Pool to make sure I don't see any performance issues down the road as I move drives from one pool to another?
