I'm debating whether I can move around some things and put the server in a different room that no one is in or not. If that doesn't work I am looking to basically copy your build.
Does anyone think 12 drives in a vdev in RAIDZ2 or RAIDZ3 is a bad idea or would you recommend 3 vdevs with 8 drives in raidz2? If both are viable options I would probably prefer to do 12 drives in raidz2.
I would definitely suggest 3xz2 vs 2x z3. Same number of disks of parity. Easier to contemplate upgrading a vdev. Easier to start acquiring your vdevs and 50% more IOPS.
But 12 disk z2. That's up to you. Most wouldn't.
