Hi everyone
I built my TrueNAS recently with the following specs:
2x 256GB SSD (boot drive)
3x14TB HDD (RAIDZ1; I do have a daily offsite backup (RAIDZ1) of it; so I thought of being able to "afford" only n+1 failure tolerance)
64GB RAM
AMD Ryzen PRO 5650G
I use the system for:
- plex
- some webservices (wiki etc.)
- Developer VM
- CI setup
Now I do have a 4TB SSD that I don't need anymore. I was thinking of three possible options:
1. use it as a SSD cache for the 3x14TB pool
2. sell it and buy 2x2tb for a raid1 separate pool onto which I move responsive services such as websites and dev VM
3. just sell it, it's not worth the performance gain
What are your thoughts on this? Is the question ill posed, or do you lack information for it to propose an answer?
Thank you in advance
