Given 36 total disks in a single chassis with one E5-1620 v3, 128 GB RAM, and a single 9211-8i HBA, which of the following ZFS layout configurations do you go with and why?
Which do you go with and why? If neither is ideal, is there another option I'm missing?
- 3x 11 disk vdevs in RAID Z3 with 3 hot spares (3 disks can fail per vdev, 3 hot spares)
- 6x 6 disk vdevs in RAID Z2 (2 disks can fail per vdev, no hot spares)
- Some other configuration?
