Hey Guys,
So I currently run Raid 5 with 4x 3tb drives.
I am building a new box for FreeNAS and curious about Raid Z1 with 4 drives.
I know its not approved of, but would there be an issue running it?
As in, if I lose a drive would I lose my whole storage pool?
Or would the 1 drive kick in like Raid 5?
If it will continue to work fine, will there be any performance impact on running Z1 with 4 drives?
How much extra would it be worth running with 5 drives?
Thanks
