Hi guys this is my first NAS that I'm building, my specs are:
Case: Rosewill RSV-L4500
Motherboard: Supermicro X9SCM
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1270 V2
RAM: 32GB DDR3 ECC
Power Supply: Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 520W
SAS HBA: LSI 9201-8i + HP SAS Expander CARD 24-port
Network: Mellanox MNPA19-XTR X2 (1 inside the NAS, 1 inside the main Desktop for direct link)
HDD: 4x 12TB Enterprise Toshiba HDD (empty HDD for initial setup) + 3x 12TB Enterprise Seagate HDD (they are inside my desktop and they are full of data)
SSD: 128GB Samsung for OS install + 500GB Samsung for cache, both are connected to the main board.
So my question is what kind of RAID type should I use?
Keep in mind that the initial setup will have only 4x12TB HDD and after I transfer files from my desktop to the initial pool I will add the 3x12TB HDD from my PC to the NAS and in the future I will add up the remaining HDDs to reach the max the Rosewill RSV-L4500 allow (15 HDD)
If anyone have a suggestion on what to choose and how to set up, I'm pretty new to the NAS world so bear it mind..
Thanks.
