Hello,
I´ve been on freenas since jun 2013, successfully created my NAS with 6 disks; the server is a U2 server monster I bought on ebay, with 32 gb ram (mirrored to 16 gb ECC).
My disks are
4 x 3TB
2 x 1TB
My setup is a volume with 3 mirrors (2 mirrors of 3tb each, 1 mirror of 1tb)
Recently one of the disks from mirror 2 started getting hiccups (CAM errors and things like that).... and then the other disk of mirror 2 started doing the same.
I inmediately replaced the failing disk, finished resilvering after like 50 hours, and BOOM the other disk died.
So now I bought another disk to replace the second failing.
But I am wondering if my setup is correct -- right now I think my data is safe, however I would like to know if you guys see any better / safer setup?
BTW the data usage is around 4 tb, and most of that is already obsolete / deprecated; the most valuable things are the timemachine backups for 2 computers, and personal photos and videos.
Thanks for any input / guidance you guys can provide.
