The FreeNAS Wiki says the following:
for RAIDZ2, why isnt 8 disks optimal? Its between the 3-9..
thanx
When determining how many disks to use in a RAIDZ, the following configurations provide optimal performance. Array sizes beyond 12 disks are not recommended.
Start a RAIDZ1 at at 3, 5, or 9, disks.
Start a RAIDZ2 at 4, 6, or 10 disks.
Start a RAIDZ3 at 5, 7, or 11 disks.
The recommended number of disks per group is between 3 and 9. If you have more disks, use multiple groups.
