Good morning everyone,
I plan to mount a NAS that replaces a 4-bay Seagate that right now has 1 hdd wd 4tb network, 1 hdd wd 3tb network, 1n hdd 1tb network and another like it. Everything is mounted with RAID0 with the risk that this entails. The decision at that time to create a RAID0 was for the transmission speed. Now with RAIDZ things change. I plan to mount a RAIDZ2 to pass the information from the Seagate NAS to the new FREENAS. I have purchased an 8TB wd network hdd and I plan to mount it together two conventional 1tb hdd each to have the three minimum drives for RAIDZ2. Once I have transferred all the information from the Seagate NAS, my idea is to take out one of the 1tb disks and first insert the 4TB wd network that was in the Seagate to expand the pool. The same for the second 1tb hdd, take it out and then insert the 3tb wd red hdd that was on NAS Seagate.
About all this, I have a question, is it a good plan? Is it possible to do what I tell?
The truth is that although I read the documentation, I am a low-level user when it comes to RAIDZ2 systems. I would like to know if that system will have a lot of speed difference with respect to the RAID0 that I have right now.
My equipment
Case: Fractal Design Node 304
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI
CPU: Intel i7 4790
RAM: 16Gb DDR3 1600mhz (8GB x2)
Power Supply: EVGA 500 W1
Storage: WD RED drives
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L9i
System Drive: SSD 120Gb ubs 3.0 connector motherboard to SSD cable.
I would appreciate all kinds of comments, since after the disbursement in HDD I would like to know if both the hadware to use and the system to mount FREENAS is correct.
Thank you very much to the forum in advance
