Greetings all,
I am building a pair of high-capacity chassis for our datacenter to become our new backup servers. Each server will have a 16-bay Supermicro chassis, 16x 4TB Seagate NAS drives, 32G RAM, a QC 3.4GHz Intel CPU, and a dual-port Intel 10G NIC.
I have done a ton of research with regards to the RAID strategy for the drives, however, it seems there is no optimum configuration for 16-disk chassis. Evidently, 6+2-RAIDZ2 vdevs are not good, nor is a single 14+2 RAIDZ2 or RAIDZ3 vdev.
Can someone please shed some light on the optimum RAID config for a 16-disk chassis that will be used as backup servers? I thought about creating a zpool with different RAIDZ vdevs, but I am not sure if that is best practice.
Thanks.
-Ron
