Hello everyone,
I have just setup a RAID 10 on my PC with six 4TB WD RED NAS drives (24TB total with 10.9TB usable space). Originally I wanted to setup RAID 5 but after researching and limitation on the LSI HBA 9211 doesn't have RAID5, I set up RAID 10.
Now I want to create a new box using FreeNAS using the same size drives of 4TB WD RED NAS to get the same amount of usable storage space (10TB or more).
The purpose is to share files to family members with some sort of safety
Goal in order of importance:
1. Speed
2. Redundancy
3. Capacity <= well, this is all depending on how many drives I actually will throw at it right?
I have done some reading at this forum and doing some Google search to find out the similarities to understand which RAIDZ should I use.
Please give advice.
Traditional Raid vs. ZFS RAIDZ
RAID 0 =>
RAID 1 =>
RAID 5 => RAIDZ1
RAID 6 => RAIDZ2
RAID 10 => Nested VDEV
Thank you.
