I got following HDD config (in my TrueNAS Core 13u3).
looking now into buying 3 x 18 TB Seagate Exos X X18 or Toshiba Enterprise Capacity MG09ACA 512e. (any recommendations?)
As I only have 1 SATA Port available as a spare, I would build in one of the 18 TBs, create a pool (which config?) and copy the volumes (is their an easy way to migrate them?) from the "mirror" pool to the new pool, then removing both WD Red 3 TB and adding the other two 18 TBs to the server, adding them to the pool with redundancy, that would give me a size of about 33 TB? Next would be migrating the volumes from the 8 and 12 TB to the new pool. right in that assumption?
how long will it take to extend the 18TB pool with the 2 x 18 TB disks (approximately) ?
Am I also right, that I need to fix the drive mapping in the jails?
At the end of the day I would leave in the 8 TB as a download/temp drive and take the 12 TB to a Synology single bay NAS in a remote location as a backup target for the critical data (not the media) from my TrueNAS (doing a local seed first, move it off site and setup a replication).
- 2 x WD Red 3 TB as a mirror pool for "important" data & time machine called "mirror"
- 1 x WD (something) 8 TB as a single disk pool for media
- 1 x WD (something) 12 TB as a single disk pool for media
