I'm currently running FreeNAS 9.2 and will soon move to 9.3. I have (2) 4TB & (2) 3TB HDDs each running in RAID 1, all 7200rpm drives.
I'll be needing to add 2 more 4TB HDDs (growing movie collection), but I'm considering 5400rpm drives instead of 7200rpm for reduced heat and noise. Then I'd like to put all (4) 4TB HDDs into a RAID 5 array.
My question is, will I have any RAID issues if 2 of the drives are 5400rpm & 2 are 7200rpm?
Also running Plex Media Server on FreeNAS. Would the mixed drives speeds have any effect?
TIA!
