With 18 HDD/NVMe , which is the best configuration?
I have a server with 15x300GB HDDs, 1x250GB M.2 connected to a USB 2.0 stick and 2x480GB NVMe available on PCI express.
I can only boot from HDD or USB.
I would like advice for the best configuration.
I was thinking of using
2xHDDs for booting, in mirroring, partitioning them in order to make the best use of them.
1x250GB (over USB 2.0) for cache
2x480GB for higher performance accesses
I wanted to use the HDDs with RAID-Z3 for better security because the drives are not new.
The server has 2 Xeon 6 cores and 64GB RAM.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
