Hi All,
I am thinking of retiring my old TrueNAS box and build a new one with 11 drives. The question is: Whats the best pool configuration for this setup? I was thinking of 2 pools with 6 drives in one and 5 in the other in raidz configuration for both pools? This will allow me to lose one drive per pool (So 2 in total) and will help increase the storage in the future a bit more easily? i.e if I stick all 11 drives in one pool then it might take ages to increase the storage size and the new size won't appear until all drives have been upgraded to the new storage size?
What's your opinion/suggestion on this pls?
Cheers,
