Hello all,
I'm just able to start building my first FreeNAS home file server. I have all the hardware I need so far:
I have another idea in mind...
How about, in a final configuration, to have 2x vdevs with 3x 8 TB disks each. Each vdev would be triple mirrored (no striping). This would leave me with two leftover drive bays, which I could use for SSD's in case this will help to speed up overall operatin of the NAS (perhaps in case of L2ARC or ZIL). What do you think?
Thank you all for the advice,
ullbeking
I'm just able to start building my first FreeNAS home file server. I have all the hardware I need so far:
- Supermicro A1SRi-2758F (yes, I know to watch out for its notorious power cycle bug)
- 32 GB ECC RAM
- U-NAS 800 enclosure
- 4x WD RED HDD's (8 TB each)
- 2x vpools, each with one vdev; each vdev is doing mirroring+striping
- 1x vpool, with two comined vdevs; where each vdev is doing mirroring+striping
