Hi there. I have an old Dell T610 PowerEdge server at home with 6 2TB spinning disks in a hardware RAID 5 array. On this, I run Proxmox and run OMV as a VM.
I'm thinking about installing TrueNAS Core. My hardware questions are:
Will ZFS install OK on an array that is already raided? Would I be better off not using my hardware RAID at all and letting ZFS handle the bare metal directly?
Another question - not technically hardware, but I've noticed that TrueNAS has it's own hypervisor built in. Would I notice any performance hit if I used FreeNAS' Hypervisor instead of Proxmox?
Thanks in advance.
Steve.
