hey guys quick question.....
I'm considering moving my esxi storage (at home) to my freenas box. Which of these would be the best short and long term solution.
Current storage: 6x 3tb WD RED PRO in raidz2( freenas w/ 32gb memory MAXED) + 2x 500gb crucial ssd raid1 (in esxi host)
a) use the 2x SSD in a mirror than migrate that to raid10 when I purchase 2 more drives
b) use the 2x SSD as zil/log for raidz2 storage.
c) do both a + b
It will be running mainly low usage test vm"s; however there is 2 heavy database vm which are heavily used daily for development and I use this daily for testing and dev for work.
EDIT: At this stage it would not be possible to rebuild the spinning disk pool. Im looking for a solution short term to tack on, than what i should aim for.
Any friendly advice is welcome. Thanks
