I have 4 4TB disks.
2 are 7200RPM and 2 are 5400RPM.
I want to join them as one raid 10 zpool drive.
2 sets of 4TB mirrored drive striped as one pool.
I want to avoid putting the same speed disks together in the mirrored drives because each pair are from the same batch, making them likely to fail near the same period.
(i have had bad experiences with such failures)
how much of a performance hit will I experience if i have 2 sets of pairs each having 1 7200RPM dirve and 1 5400RPM drive and striping the 2 pairs.
The other option is to mirror the 2 7200RPM pair and then mirror the 5400RPM pair and striping the 2 pairs.
If I primarily do reads off of the drive, which layout would yield the better performance?
or would a zraid setup be better?
thank you
