The title pretty much says it all.
Back in February, I built my first ever NAS (also my first ever NAS, period). It is based upon a Supermicro X9SRL-F, E5 2630L v2, 24GB DDR3 ECC RAM, and currently running 9x4TB WD REDs, configured as one ZFS2 pool. This gives me about 25TB of usable space, of which I have already used about 20TB.
The server is almost exclusively used for Plex, both local and remote streaming.
I am therefore looking to upgrade. I am planning on buying 10TB white label WD REDs, and need help determining the best layout for the pool. Data loss prevention is of course my primary focus, but I don't want to waste unnecessary space. Also, my tower (Fractal Design Define R6) can "only" fit 11 drives natively, allthough, it should be easy to modify it to fit 12 drives.
Would you recommend i.e. 3 pools of 4 drives running ZFS1, or maybe 1 large pool running 8-10 drives in a ZFS2 config?
