Just got a new case that supports 8 disks (seems to be the norm in many cases).
I want to make the best use of the drives, ideally with Raid-Z2 as the disks will hold a lot of family photos and videos. I know that Raid-Z2 works best in 4, 6, and 10-disk configurations. Other alternatives I see are 2-Disk Mirror configurations or 4-Disk Raid-Z2 configurations. Would prefer to get the extra space though.
What will happen is I proceeded with a 8-disk Z2 configuration? Will I just take a performance hit or something more?
