Hey,
I'm looking into building another home/office storage with parts I already own.
I have 4 x 300GB SAS and 6 x 2TB SATA drives and Define R4 case.
I could probably get my hand on 2 x 2TB more and I was thinking about getting the SuperMicro X10SL7-F so in the future I could expand the server even more.
would it be a good idea to have 2 volumes:

would it be a good idea to have 2 volumes:
- 6 SATAs in RaidZ2 for the rest of the media and backups.
a bit of a waste of those SAS ports but I could get a second 6 SATA striped vdev at a later stage. - 4 SASs in RaidZ2, maybe for documents that need somehow a bit of a faster access.
maybe put the jails in here as well...?
