Hi there, I'm currently using Freenas 11.2-U6 and have the following disks available for storage:
So, I thought about using both 2TB drives to create a single pool (Stripe) with both 2TB disks to get good performance and maximize space, and then create a separate pool with the single 4TB drive. Then I could set up replication tasks to perform backups from the main pool.
Does this sound like a reasonable use of the available hardware layout I currently have? Is there another possible configuration or layout that you would recommend? The intended use of the NAS is for home use (regular backups and occasional media streaming with Plex).
- 2 x 2TB
- 1 x 4TB
