They replied initially saying it'd take some time to get back to me -- then, sent a document saying they had the results sooner than anticipated. What's kind of cool is they used the same motherboard as one of the candidate MB I'd use: (X299X Designare from Gigabyte) ...
Will someone look at what this document says and decode whether they're using native FreeBSD drivers or if these are dependent on HighPoint drivers? As, they showed it "running via FreeBSD in RAID-0 and RAID-1" ... obviously, not the goal.
I have
2x SSD7120 (PCIe 3.0 x16 with 4x U.2 x4 8643 connectors)...
4x PM983 U.2 drives @ 3.84TB ...
Is there a way to keep the 4 SSD sync'd to my main array (80TB RAIDz2 of 8x 10TB) to minimize failure likelihood...
Basically, I'd want to write to the NVMe array at the max speed they'd support
Then, sync the NVMe array to the spinning array as fast as the spinning array can be written to...
After which, either deleting data that I don't need to be kept on the NVMe array ... or leaving data that's used often.
I'm thinking RAIDz1 ...? to mitigate the cost-per-TB.
Hopefully I can find a few more for $350-400.
I'm assuming RAIDz2 is overkill given their
Low URE
High DWPD
High Write speeds (short rebuild time if / when required) ..?
Thanks
