Hello FreeNAS folks,
I am contemplating doing a built with the following characteristics (this is for a work environment, mostly datasets):
- Intel R2312WFTZS system (dual Skylake with 12 sas/sata bays) (https://www.intel.com/content/www/u.../server-board-s2600wf-systems/r2312wftzs.html)
- need about 20-30 TB storage space currently, with more in the future.
I was thinking of using 4-6 12TB drives in raidz2. From what I've read and from prior experience, that should be a good layout choice. Are 12TB drives (thinking about Exos He12) robust those days? How about SAS vs SATA?
I have some questions regarding the HBAs. Between the following 2 options, which one has better support on FreeNAS:
- Intel RMS3AC160 (using Broadcom SAS 3316 chipset) (sata/sas)
- Intel RSP3TD160F (using Avago SAS 3516 chipset) (sata/sas/nvme)
Both of them are RAID-type chipsets, but do they support JBOD?
