Hi,
I really need to increase the speed of my NAS. I want to do VM backup, but I feel things are just too slow when I do that.
My setup today is a pool with one vdev:
1 x MIRROR | 2 wide | 7.28 TiB
I have only 8 slots, so I was thinking about having 2x mirrors with 3 disks each. But I was wondering: is it overkill? Would I be better off with 3x mirrors with 2 disks each? That way I'd have more speed and performance right? I just don't know if having having just one disk that I can afford to loose per vdev is good enough protection.
Or should I just have one mirror with two disks, both SSD's, and add it to another pool?
