Hello there,
I am here to share my first FreeNAS setup and get some feedback on what I may be doing wrong.
I am a dev by trade with some affinities with hardware, currently the tech lead of a 30 people company.
This startup happens to be in social media, more specifically video production. I started with a 15 TB Synology NAS that reached the 90% capacity in 6 months. It is time to scale up.
Being a hardware enthusiast I went on building my own NAS case with (pause a second) non-enterprise hardware.
Basically an AM4 motherboard with a Ryzen 1700x, 32 GB of ram (EEC), 8 x 10TB, 1 SSD (used a pcie card to add +4 sata to the existing 8) and a 10 Gbe network card.
Storage volume is ZFS2 pool.
Regarding our usage, people will work on a video for a week, doing video editing from the NAS and then once published, the edited video, adobe premier project, raw videos import stays there untouched, archived.
Should I use two volumes, one 2TB volume (Raid 0?) with performance in mind and the rest of the drives in ZFS2?
Any other tips ?
