I'm looking into migrating over from unraid to FreeNAS, and had a few questions regarding storage configurations. I have 5*1TB Hard Drives, and 4*2TB Hard Drives. So far the RAIDZ2 option looks rather attractive. Currently I have about 3TB worth of data to keep on this system.
Would I set that as two different volumes in the same pool? (note: I'm still trying to figure out this ZFS vernacular thingy, so if I mess up.... my apologies. Only so much I can absorb from the stickies at a time)
The rest of the server is pretty straightforward.
Dual E5520 Xeon's (2.26Ghz Quads w/HT)
48GB DDR3 1333
15-bay Supermicro Server Case w/triple redundant PSU's
tp-link tl-sg1016 16-port Gigabit Switch (still need to figure out if Link Aggregation works properly with this...)
I have an older PCI-X RAID card that loves JBOD that I've been using thus far...
tl:dr - 5*1TB drives. 4*2TB drives. How can I configure 'em to leave me with the best storage setup, in regards to Speed, Capacity, Performance, and Bragging Rights? ;)
