my older (first attempt) at a FreeNAS system is a Dell PowerEdge R200, IIRC, with one drive for OS, and one for data.
my newer (second attempt) system is a Dell PowerEdge R710. it has 6 SAS 3.5" drive spaces, with two being used for the OS (hardware RAID 1). the other 4 bays, two have a 2TB SAS drive each, and the other two are waiting delivery of a 2TB SAS drive each.
my first thought is to set the 4 data drives up as RAID 5 or 6. though is there is a better alternative, i am open.
now, what is the easiest way to migrate the data, as well as user/share configuration to the new server?
this will be used in a home environment, so the number of users will be low. mostly personal backups over SMB shares, though i plan to migrate data from my webserver onto the NAS via NFS.
Thank you in advance for any help.
