Hey All,
i just got myself the following set-up:
Fractal Design R4 65
Supermicro X10SL7-F Motherboard
Xeon E3-1230 V3 CPU
Kingston 2x 8gb KVR16E11/8 ECC RAM
Corsair RM 550w PSU
USE Case: Photo/Video storage and editing off the NAS. so i would like 500MB + speeds
Will be be building 10 Gbps network - could do with some advice on optimal(cost effective items too)
i have a modded case with 10 slots. I want to future proof the build within reason and thinking of adding 10 x 4TB drives .
1. Can someone advise me which i should go for? I am from UK so finding :
a) WD Red - £113.00
b) Seagate Iron Wolf £109.00
c)?
2. What kind of redundancy set-up i should do?
a) 2x5 Drive Stripped?
b) 2x Raidz2 - 5+5 Drives?
c) 10 drive single pool with Raidz2-3?
Also, what would be approximate performance?
Would love to get great speed with lowest amount of drives being parity, but keep reliability. As always, impossible request :)
I know my RAM will need upgrading soon - question is, if i have this amount of storage do i need to upgrade it first?
Also,once built - can i add SSD as cache after? or it needs to be added to vdev as part of the build?
Your advice would be really appreciated.
