Alright!
I have had my freenas server for a while now, truly enjoying it!
Build FreeNAS-9.1.1-RELEASE-x64 (a752d35)
MB: MSI 790fx-gd70
(Patriot sector 5) 8gb dd53 ram
AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor (black edition)
Using ZFS:
3x WD green 2tb in a raidz
2x samsung f4 2tb in a raid 1
I would like to keep the box and sell/upgrade the drives.
I was looking and considering WD nas RED line.
8x 3tb WD red. on the ServeRAID M1015 controller. (Based on recommendations here I would like to get a ServeRAID M1015 (Crossflashed to IT mode)
I see a difference across raid calculators, for example this one on Synologys website:
http://www.synology.com/support/RAID_calculator.php?lang=us
No matter how many 3tb drives I add to a RAID6 pool, it always shows 6tb for protection.
Is this just a synology thing?
Advice is needed.
Thank you Greatly!!
