So I've got a hand built FreeNas with 8 Drives HDD (and 2 ssd for ZIL/Caching) and when it works it's great, but I think that either my mainboard is failing due to age/abuse (I recently had the main CPU heatsink fall off and had to reattach with new thermal paste). So now I'm getting timeouts to the drives after an extended copy session which seems to have made my drive array degraded. Overall I really like FreeNas as an OS and I would like to fix my current system but I've been through a lot recently with this machine and am almost at the end of my rope.
So if I upgrade to an Freenas Mini XL, what hardware can I take to it?
Will my current RAIDZ2 pool (8 x 4TB 3.5" drives) 'just work' if I put it into a new system?
Can I also put in the 2.5" SSD drives in for cache/zil?
What's upgrade-able on a Freenas Mini XL?
Is my current system worth saving if I might have fried it?
