I recently realized my latest router Netgear Nighthawk CXA80 has a 2.5Gbps Ethernet Port. I purchased a MikroTik CRS310 2.5/10 Gigabit switch. I'm building a Truenas server based around a SuperMicro X11SSM-F.
Question 1: Should I purchase a Pcie 2.5gbs nic for the X11SSM-F?
Question 2: I have some old 2tb wd reds laying around collecting dust. I'm going to take four of those and make a Raidz1. Then I bought four 18tb cheapy amazon nas hardrives to make a second Raidz1. Is this configuration acceptable for a home server?
Thank you
