Hi all,
As mentioned above, in my Define R4 Case I currently have 6 x 3tb WD Red Drives. There is one zpool with RaidZ2 for this 18TB. giving me a storage of 9tb .... but the system wants me to keep 2.1tb free. I am happy with this zpool and don't need to expand it.
Though I can now only physically fit 4 more drives in this case, using the 2 spare drive bays, and convert the two 5.25 bays in the case to each old a 3.25 drive with adaptors http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3E6P8SQY9T8G4
It would have been great If I could have somehow got 6 more drives in here. Any ideas?
The current plan is to add these new 4 x 6tb drives and create a second zpool with RaidZ2.
Am I correct in understanding that the two zpools will not interact and affect eachother?
Cheers
