My current build (specs below) has ten 3TB drives in a RaidZ2 and has worked perfectly. However I am getting close to 80% capacity and have purchased eight 10TB drives to handle my future needs. I am worried about how my system will fair with a 8 drive RaidZ2 with 72TB's. I am not able to upgrade this current setup beyond 32GB of ram. I am on a 10Gb network so performance is a worry but not hugely critical. I have never used ssd cache dives etc, would those help me? Would it be advised to even try this much storage with 32GB of ram? Primary purpose of this system is to provide trusted long term storage to my data. Secondary purpose is editing photos and video off the system because of the massive performance gain over my other servers file system. I am hoping 32GB will work or with some ssd cache drives will help, it would make this system last me several more years before a major upgrade is needed.
I am not an IT professional and have self taught myself everything I now about this just a FYI. If I could get some solid insight or advice that would be much appreciated.
Thank you
