I am setting up a new FreeNAS server for home use and am in the process of buying the components. I just bought a 15 bay rack mount chassis and 8 x Seagate 4TB NAS drives (so far). I have been reading a lot about optimal (and sub-optimal) vdev drive configurations and would like to solicit opinions.
I am thinking either a single z3 vdev across 15 drives, or two z2 vdev, i.e 8 drives and 7 drives. But I also understand that 15 drives in z3 is not an optimal number of drives.
Any suggestions are welcome!
