Hi All,
I'm looking at building a FreeNAS box and have the following HDDs available to me:
5 x 6Tb Seagate Enterprise SATA drives
8 x 600Gb 15k SAS drives
10 x 2Tb 7.2k SATA drives
I also have available PERC H700 and H200 cards.
I intend on purchasing an Asrock C2750D4I after reading on here and various reviews.
Any suggestions on best disk configs? I will definitely be using the 6Tb drives and would like to create a seperate pool to act as a backup pool for the 6Tb drives. It's not essential I use all of the drives!
This box will primarily act as a storage node for 2 Intel NUCs running ESXi (only have 1 at present).
I'm reading mixed reviews of whether to use the H700 card or not as it can't do JBOD.
Thoughts appreciated, I'm ready to answer any queries.
Regards
