Okay so I looked at the PPT from Cyberjock (thanks!) and now I have a couple of questions...
So I have 4 750 gb 7200 rpm drives and 4 500 gb GREEN drives.
I was thinking that my best configuration would be 2 Vdev's of RAID-Z1
Vdev 1 - 3 750gb drives
Vdev 2 - 3 500gb GREEN drives
One Zpool.
So if I do this I should have roughly 2tb of usable space...?
1. Is this a good idea? Is there a better way to maximize space with a little redundancy on the side?
2. How will performance be affected with the 750gb drives being faster than the 500gb drives?
My current setup is 4 750's in RAID-Z1
Thanks!!
