Hi all, I am total nob and just have hardware ready for setup (did a test installation) and I will need an advice for setup.
There are a lots of questions and answers to similar questions.
I am looking into setting up TrueNas with 6 drives (if that's better option) with size of 8 TB (best value for the money). I am not looking for big capacity and not care much about usable space. I would be okey with 20-24 TB at the end and for longer term.
I have music, photos, my main PC weekly backups to store. Speed is not important that much, I have 1 Gb network so does not really matter overall.
I am looking more for data integrity and less chance to loose data (with any configuration up to 6 drives * 8 TB.
What I've found RAIDZ2 would be best option. I am wondering how should I setup my pool(s)? I am thinking of 4 + 2 drives; 4 data and 2 cold spares or .. I am new in this but do not want make big mistake in choosing optimal option.
I have PC ready with 32 GB RAM, RAIDZ2 should not be a problem. Thanks in advance!
